    How can I keep rooster off chickens?

    I separated them when I saw blood on the rooster - twice. I'm not sure that was a mistake, considering.

    How can I keep rooster off chickens?

    The hens are 6 or 7. I rescued them when I realized their owner, who was free ranging them, moved and just left them.

    How can I keep rooster off chickens?

    He is a blue icebar. One hen is a barred rock and the other australorps. He's big (about the size of the previous Roo who was an australorp). The hens are smaller than the rooster, but they aren't small chickens. I got him when he was 3 months old. He's about 9 months now. Initially, he was...

    How can I keep rooster off chickens?

I do have a rooster...

    Feeding roosters

    I was feeding my roosters a combo of layer crumbles, layer pellets, and small amount of cracked corn. They eat the corn only, so I bought a bag of purina flock raiser crumbles and mixed in a small amount of corn. They just want the corn. I read that a diet of corn alone isn't healthy. What...

    Pecking order

    I've seen those but I just don't know if I could put them on. Have you actually done this? I considered maybe trying to find a veterinarian to do it.
