My rooster has hurt his beak to the point that it looks like the whole beak is almost ripped off, but was still holding on one side. I looked up what to do and put some neosporin on it and read about using super glue, but the break is so far up and starts right under one "nostril." It happened...

My 14 week old mille fleur rooster just started doing that too.

I was off by a couple of weeks, here they are at 4 weeks and you can already see the comb growing on two of them.

Now that mine are 16 weeks, I'm saying they had two roos and a hen. My roos started growing there combs by 8 or 9 weeks. My hens comb is just now starting to grow. These are my roos at 12 weeks.

I don't kiss my mille fleur bantams, but they love to be held and petted especially right before I put them away for the night.

I saw what appeared to be kissing between one if my cockerals and my pullet. They were facing each other with beaks touching and stood there like that for a few seconds until they realized I was watching them.

Hi, I was wondering what the outcome was. Did you have two roos or did one or both end up being a pullet? Thanks

So the roosters can have their own coop together and won't fight? I would prefer that because I really don't want baby chicks and I dont want to eat fertilized eggs.

Yes. I was thinking of asking the parent that donated the eggs, if she has another female that we could buy from her and then if we have to get another coup for the couple.

There are steps winding around the post up to the opening. I finally got one of them to go up all the steps to get in.

I have two cockerals and one pullet, all siblings. I am hoping to keep all three. Do you have a lot of hens for your six roosters? Can they all sleep in the same coop?

Thank you for posting this. We just got three baby D'uccle chicks several weeks ago. Two are roosters. I do see them asserting themselves but so far not very seriously. They still cuddle when sleeping. When they were in my house, I could hear when they started to fight. I would always go over...

Thank you, we will go that.

There are little steps winding down from the coop to the ground. Raccoons can tear the chicken wite apart? My husband put chicken wiredown into the ground and across underneath to the other side. He that that would be able to keep racoon out because they would run into the chicken wire.

If we can keep bithbwe will,. If not, then yes we will have to find a home for one if them.
