What if I don't get rid of my rooster and keep him separate from the girl's (meaning keep him in the outside run and the girl's free range the back yard) for a couple days, then reintegrat them? Thinking he'll lose his leadership, maybe
My buff was sick and had to keep her separated from the other
4 girls/1rooster while being treated. She was the leader of the flock, now the rooster is and he is aggressive towards her and I have to keep her separated from only him. Her behavior is schechy now. When I get rid of him will she go...
I'm in a somewhat similar position,I bought 3 chick's at 4 days old and now their almost 9 weeks they were all suppose to be female 1 is not! I too don't want to get rid of him but trying to figure out a solution like getting him nutetered.
No, ☹I live in city limits. And it's heart breaking because was told that all three were girls when I got them at only 4 days old. My other two are lavender or. they are definitely girls. So I don't know what to do
Fairly new(1yr.) to the chicken world. We have 3 ladies outside that we got at around the age of 4-6 months and 3 inside (6weeks today) got them at just 4 days old. 1 of the babies is questionable????
I really love our chickens and have learned so much, but still so much top learn.
No,I definitely wouldn't kill him/ her. It would just be devastating to have to get rid of because we've grown an attachment to him/her. I'm just going to be optimistic I guess. Thanks for your help
