    My silver laced polish roo keeps getting his "hair" pulled out!

    It was mostly the Black Giant roo's, but they are separated now. The Buffs pick on him, the RIR's and now Dom. Dom is the only roo other than the giants that pick on poor Snuggy. He started pecking at me the one day, I think because he cant see well and figures if he pecks at anything that...

    My silver laced polish roo keeps getting his "hair" pulled out!

    I will definately post pictures! He is definately so not dominant, it's too funny, I will walk up to him and just pick him up and he acts so suprised like he didn't see me coming. Which I'm sure he can't. He is just a ball of cuteness! I hope someone else has some ideas, or I will have to do...

    My silver laced polish roo keeps getting his "hair" pulled out!

    Mr. Snuggles my slp has pretty much had a permanent bald spot. Every time it starts to grow back, someone rips it out! I have caged the agressive roos, and even let Snuggy and Dom (my picked-on Dominique roo) free range together, away from everyone else. Dom and Snuggy would always cuddle...

    question about de beaked chickens (not sure if I posted in right spot)

    Thanks for the advice, he drew blood when I got home today, I posted him and another on the forum and made a few phone calls. Hopefully someone out there will love him!

    I have 2 Black Jersey Giant cockrels that need a home, Newfoundland,PA

    We have too many roos! We have 2 beautiful giants that are 5 months old. One is agressive and I hope to find him a home where he won't be cooked. The other is an angel. I would love to trade for 2 polish pullets to replace ones that we lost. If not, we would be happy to find our boys a...

    question about de beaked chickens (not sure if I posted in right spot)

    This may seem like a strange question, but does anyone know if an older 5 or 6 month old roo can get it's beak clipped? I agree that it is mean, but I ask because it seems that if I don't come up with a solution for his agressive pecking (drawing blood from me) he will end up in a pot...

    Rooster Questions...Please help a newbie!

    ...by the way, I know my hen to roo ratio is no good. I am working on finding new homes. It's hard because I love them, but the girls are beat up and exhausted. I know I'm off the subject but I figured I'd throw that in!!!

    Rooster Questions...Please help a newbie!

    Hi, I'm new at all this also, I read on this forum somewhere about the bullseye, there is absolutely nothing different about eating a fertilized egg and a non-fertilized egg. The bullseye is very tiny and if you didn't know about it you wouldn't notice it. My girls started laying in January...

    What price do you charge for eggs?

    I have a question regarding selling the fertilized eggs. I have 3 girls laying since January, now I have 6 roos into the mix that are just getting mature enough to be able to fertilize the eggs. I have no intention of hatching, the point I am trying to get to is if I pull the eggs every day...

    Rooster with issues

    I'm new at having roos and glad to see that the bloodied combs is normal. I have 5 month old Buffs and 2 of them have fresh comb wounds. The roos are the same age and I guess are still learning how to do their thing!

    I think my roo is confused--trying to mate with another roo-help!

    what worries me is Dom is so not accepting of this and runs like mad. Do you think the giants might hurt him?

    I think my roo is confused--trying to mate with another roo-help!

    We have 24, 5 month old cockrels and pullets. Of that 6 are cockrels. The problem is that we have 2 Jersey Giant cockrels that are maturing and going after the pullets to mate, the pullets are still too young to understand what the giants want, and run away. Thats fine, now, we have a...

    Can I grow flowers and own chickens? They eat everything! Any ideas?

    So in other words, I'm kinda at our chickens mercy. We do plan to build a run, but for now, we let them run around after we get home and the eat, eat, eat. I guess I will have to do some rearranging. The babies were out all day today and our poor dog is tormented and chased by all of them...

    Can I grow flowers and own chickens? They eat everything! Any ideas?

    Last June we got 6 chicks, by the time they were old enough to peck around the yard, most of my flowers and garden plants were finished for the season, so I didn't care if the chicks pecked and destroyed them. Now lo and behold, spring has sprung and our (now 3) girls are scratching around and...
