I thought it was maybe from the moon and he was a young guy. He HAS chosen his roosting spot in the coop right along the window, so he can see what's going on outside. Perhaps I'll go out with the dog and investigate, we have had a lot of issues with raccoons breaking into the cats' food in...

Thank you all so much for your help! He is still around and becoming more used to us and more personable. It seems like some of his neck feathers are getting darker, and he's much more smooth with the ladies. I still have hopes his "owners" will come and take him back, especially since he's...

I am not sure this guy is even a year old, as he was just deposited here. He is getting black speckles around his shoulder/neck area. He's got bars on his tail feathers. I am certain he's a run-of-the-mill rooster, and I am still hoping his owner will reclaim him. He's nice for a rooster, but...

He's definitely a boy. Full on crowing, and trying to jump the ladies. He's rather fond of one of my Delawares. She wants nothing tò do with him. It hasn't stopped him from trying. He definitely hasn't got his moves down to attract the ladies.

Thank you. He's getting some faint, black speckles around his neck area. So you think he's young too? He is A LOT bigger than my 1-year-old Delaware hens. Could he be a Brahama? Or a light Sussex? Some of his dark tail feathers are somewhat iridescent. If he is truly young, it is more...

Ok....so we've only ever had hens (at least for me as an adult). Today, either a rooster wandered into our yard or someone left him. No one seems to be missing him, I've called around. So far he seems nice. We have Delaware hens....is he a Delaware rooster? The local humane society has...

Thank you so much for the ideas. She did expire over night. Everyone else seems happy and healthy, except for one hen that has become extremely broody, but not laid an egg. I had the same issues with this breed last year (I thought they were RIR, but I think they are Red Wyandottes). I...

We lost a hen yesterday, she had been acting a bit funny since we returned from a vacation about one week ago. Yesterday, she wouldn't move,eat or anything once she was out of the coop. (We free range/ pasture raise). Today, everyone seemed happy and healthy. My daughter noticed another hen...

Wow! This is crazy, but I understand why it is all done. I was hoping to possibly get some hatching Appenzeller Spitzhauben eggs when we go to Switzerland, but it seems like that is a pipe dream. Even if I was able to find a LEGAL way to make all of it work, how do they even stay viable on...

Thanks everyone! I am dumbfounded how this happened. Secretly I was hoping for one boy, we had all girls (gifted to us as adults) before this. I guess we are meant only for girls! Thanks again!

Ruh oh! I have to tell my husband he's right!
