I found that a lot of roosters are aggressive, some more than others. I have a rooster my dad got from his coworker for free and this one is not aggressive, ever, and he is a super pretty bird. He bred with one of our 5 hens and now we have 7 hens and another rooster, which is completely docile...
So basically my two roosters are fighting over females and the Papa rooster, Terry, chases off the smaller rooster, Ruffle (his legs are bright orange like the chips), every time he tries to breed with the hens. Any tips on what I should do? Ruffle has the two smaller hens that he hatched with...
Alright, so I got the ones from last poll and I have now got an updated poll based on egg laying production but mostly eye candy and docile and friendly breeds!
Thanks! I thought I was the first one to think of turning a shed into a coop and I thought: nah that would be dumb, they would just suffocate in there… and then I hear from so many people that it’s actually super smart and that there is vents in sheds! Which I forgot about lol. Thanks so much...

I want in the near future to have a coop suitable for around 15+ chickens and was thinking of building one myself but was stopped by all the different styles I could build one and wondered which would be best all around. Also wondered if I could just buy a small shed with windows and ventilation...
I need help deciding which chickens to get in the near future for a small flock I want to have (later a large flock). Here’s some chicken breeds I was thinking about most, which is optimal for the best flock
I have 6 chickens and 3 teenage chicks and the 3 chicks( 2 hens, 1 rooster ) finally hit puberty and went from cheeps to little raspy clucks!!! And these 3 chicks are some of the most docile chickens! We ( me and my dad ) got 3 hens and 1 rooster for free from one of his coworkers and we already...
