I can try and record a video next time he does it. I'd be surprised if that were the case since he loves to attack me. My favorite thing to do is pick him up afterwards and snuggle him in front of the hens. He gets really embarrassed lol

Hi guys. I have a 9 month old silkie rooster and every now and then when I approach him, he'll squat very low to the ground and then starts moving his feet while shifting his body back and forth, like he's grinding into the ground. It's not his rooster dance and he usually doesn't move from his...

That's a thought. Or maybe Unchained Melody? Maybe get them a little mini pottery wheel?

I have a silkie rooster who mates with all my hens, even my black astrolorp who's huge compared to him. He won't mate my EE though and that's the one I want him to mate! I've cracked a bunch of her eggs and none are fertilized grrr I tried letting them out together and singing "can you feel the...

Ok. I hope that's the reason because I'm getting worried

We did not get a new addition. The days are definitely getting shorter here but my buff orpingtons and easter eggers are still laying

All of my hens are 9 months but only she's not laying

Sorry I know that was confusing. No, she wasn't broody and she's 9 months old

She's only 9 months old

So a little over a month ago, one of our hens went broody. She sat in one of the nest boxes all day and night and even through they had 3 others to choose from, my other hens (including my australorp) started laying under the coop. I managed to break my hen of her broodiness and everyone started...
