    Rooster giving me the business

    So I have 5 hens and 1 rooster, I have a pretty amicable relationship with the rooster and now it seems that he has decided to become very aggressive towards me. He is going on 2 years old so I don't think that this is him reaching adulthood, any ideas why? I recently changed their food, is he...

    Broody hen sitting on too many eggs

    So here is an update for anyone who is curious, I marked the original eggs and then I put the other ones in another nesting box. Lo and behold my other Easter egger has started using the other nesting box and my broody girl is left alone.

    Broody hen sitting on too many eggs

    Thanks for the help everyone! I took some eggs off and marked the rest, now I am trying to figure out where to move her that is more private.

    Broody hen sitting on too many eggs

    So my Easter egger has gone broody and is sitting on eggs, problem is my other Easter egger is laying eggs on top of her eggs. How do I get her to stop. Is this a common problem. (There is also 3 other nesting boxes)

    Question about shipping eggs

    I have a Barred rock that is laying some beautiful little brown eggs and I would like to ship them to my parents in NY, I live in Georgia. Does anyone have experience with shipping eggs out of state? Are there any ways I can send them that will guarantee that they will get there in one piece...

    Rooster kicking hen out of coop

    Rooster kicking hen out of coop

    The 2 RRR are 5 months old. I am not sure if they are both cockerels or not. If you look at my profile pic both of the RRR are in it. We got rid of the black one in the photo. Thanks for the advice.

    Rooster kicking hen out of coop

    I have started to notice that my RRR rooster seems to be chasing my other RRR out of the coop in the mornings and I am not sure why. This other RRR may or may not be a rooster as well, it is smaller than the rooster and has a smaller comb but still looks like a rooster. Any ideas about this...

    New hens and aggressive black chicken

    I do not have any picture of them at 6-8 weeks but we are rehoming them both today, and I sadly suspect that both my RRR are roosters as well. 4 out of 4 and they all ended up being roosters...:(
