    Aggressive rooster

    My seven-month-old Cockerel has suddenly turned aggressive toward my husband. He chases them and pecks at the back of his legs. Is there some way I can curb this Behavior or do I got to get rid of him?

    Chicken poo

    I wasn't sure if I could put it in the garden. Someone told me that it's considered hot and we'll kill things. I do have a big Garden at the bottom of my property where it would be easy to dispose it

    My hen is a him

    Okay so one of my chicks turned out to be a rooster. He's pretty cool bird though. Is it okay for him to just continue to live with the hens? I can eat the eggs still can't I? That is if I ever get any

    How does everyone dispose of their chicken coop waste? I have a decent amount of property should I just dump it somewhere?

    no feathers on breast = whole flock of meaties

    My Cornish has very little Feathering on her Underside. Really sad looking actually. She's also so super fat. I try to limit her food but she's a hearty eater. Does anybody know how long they live?

    Really Fat Hen

    Oh boy. I really am just learning and I'm sure I didn't do this the right way but I've always been a little impulsive when it comes to animals. Okay so how in the world do I restrict her food and no I'm not sure it's a hen yet just guessing. Oh and also I'm not going to eat her no matter what...
