    Am I a rooster?

    I bought some chickens January 1 from a well respected chicken breeder. Was told they were hens, but this sure is starting to look like a rooster!! “She “ is 20 weeks old now. No crowing and it’s bullied by another hen. Doesn’t act like a rooster at all. Eats food given to it by my other rooster...

    daytime owl attack

    Well, they are flying at the fence..I will have to expand the area, because it is fairly small since I had always intended for them to free range. Maybe I am too sentimental in thinking they have feelings! ;)

    The three new ones are about 10 weeks. The rooster and older hen are a year and a half. Should I keep them separated? Or just let them be. She is staying in the coop away from him anyway. I just don't want her to quit eating or be too lonely..if they get too lonely.

    coop chaos!

    We had four chickens-one rooster and three hens. I forgot to close the fence door one night and the next morning all the hens were missing, just some feathers from one hen in a pile. Of course I feel terrible!!!!!! The rooster was roaming all over crowing for the hens, going across the street...

    Hello! I am totally new to owning chickens. My husband finally agreed to two laying hens, so I quickly jumped on it and bought what I hope are hen! They are 3 months old. One she said is an Amaricauna, the other one I am not sure what she is. She is grey and black striped, kind of like a zebra...
