    How to manage a rude rooster?

    I need to find someone to help me! Haha I’d like to learn, but I’d like to help someone at least the first couple times - we would like meat birds at one point! I’m just so annoyed he decide to be mean randomly. He charged me when I was trying to get a snake out of my dogs pen. Thankfully I was...

    How to manage a rude rooster?

    Thank you so much for the link! This is a fantastic learning platform, I am just not familiar enough yet to navigate certain info! Haha Also, he is fully secured in the coop & run! We also don’t go outside when they are free ranging (thankfully). I already had enough time rehoming all my other...

    How to manage a rude rooster?

    thank you all for your replies! Ugh, I am just not ready to cull a chicken yet. I will probably have my husband or neighbor do it for me. I’ve done research previously and did see the broomstick method which seems to be the best. But then now I’ll have to do research on potentially dressing a...

    How to manage a rude rooster?

    Hello all! Back with more questions! We had MANY roosters out of our straight run chickens (8 out of 17) and we lost a few ones when younger and I was able to find homes for the rest. We kept 1, he was from one our first batches of chicks from locals. He’s an olive egger/BCM cross and seemed to...

    Normal vent?

    I have attached nutrition stats of the food I purchase for my flock (locally made & sourced)! I do have 11 hens (some still young) and 1 rooster. Would the grower be fine to keep them on long term as long as I have an adequate source of calcium? I have OS available at all times and they get a...

    Normal vent?

    Hey all! I’m a first time chicken tender and got my FIRST couple eggs from my RIR girl who is just over 18w old (hatched 3/7/25). She started laying last week - I found 2 just egg whites on their poop shelf and 1 super soft egg shell. I had 2 fresh eggs that week (one on Tuesday & Thursday) and...

    I need help identifying pullet or cockerel!

    The all black skin is definitely what was throwing my on this one, which is why I was hopeful it was a pullet! Since a literal day old chick it would hop in my hand and just want to be on me 🥲 and we already have a OE/BCM cross rooster from a batch before him that we’re going to keep! 😭 he’s...

    I need help identifying pullet or cockerel!

    Thank you SO much for such detailed replies! I definitely did not pay a lot for these lol my original 6 I got (first toe in the water with chicks), USPS held them for 2 extra days. So 4 out of the 6 all slowly died while I held them (the store lost over 70% of the order too of 200+ chicks) 😭...

First time chicken tender and want to thin out to just egg layers soon! The BCM I have a ? Next to because...
