    Confused about new chick

    I know he's a baby, but is such a gentle bird. I'm moving to a new place and don't know if Roos are allowed, so I think I'll be buying a No Crow Collar. =)

    Confused about new chick

    I got a black chick from Tractor Supply about 5 weeks ago, it just said straight run and everyone was black. Well, now it has a single comb and it's barred with black and white, mostly white though. My question is, beside Plymouth Rock, what other breed is barred with a single comb? I was...

    2 Girls behaving badly!

    Sounds like they want your attention. I went to hand feed a hen just yesterday when another one reached over and bit my arm! That hurt like Hell. I picked her up and put her at the feed bowl and she started eating like she was starved. Throw some feed for your girls, that will distract them away...

    Mottled Houdan roo with Strange Behavior

    He doesn't do the noises always, but I suppose on inhale only. I think he hits my leg by mistake. One recent day he marched up to me, dropped his head, and started looking at my legs as if trying to figure out what they were. I reached down to pick him up and he screamed as if he didn't know I...

    Mottled Houdan roo with Strange Behavior

    I have a roo that is ten months old, & he is the oddest bird. He runs around the yard making weird noises like he has asthma. He drops a wing and prances up to me and stops. Sometimes he hits my leg. Then runs away. All other Roos pick on him so he spends a good bit of time in the woods with...

    My New buff Orpington

    I have had my new buff colored orpington about 4 weeks now. He is just the sweetest roo I've owned so far. I have 2 more, but they are juveniles, and very flighty. Rascal raised his hackles at me one time 2 weeks ago when I picked up a hen. I tapped his chest as he came at me and he ran away...

    Rooster Attacking Me

    My roo boys Sam and Dean have found a new home. I tried holding them but the attacking continued to the point that I had anxiety hearing my guineas running behind me. I am getting a buff orpington roo tonight, I know nothing about them.

    chick attacked by hen

    I have a chick that is about 36 hours old, it was knocked out of its nest which is up 3 ft. It also has a gash on either side of its head and won't bear weight on his right leg. On his tummy he kicks both legs, is breathing not laboured, and drinking sugar water with antibiotics in it. I also...

    Rooster Attacking Me

    I am a Jensen, Uh, Dean fan. But, honestly, he IS a better roo and is gentle even eating bread out of my hand. :) Dean only attacks me after Sam does.

    Rooster Attacking Me

    I really don't need roosters that attack. I am going to have the rest of my cockerels (2 or 3) under scrutiny, right now they are only 11 weeks.
