    Rooster with an Attitude

    Haven't ever heard of colors triggering roosters, you are doing the right thing by trying to impose yourself though and not just running away. Roosters that attack usually do it because they see you as a rooster and therefore want to determine the pecking order; he wants to be the boss. Shouting...

    Missing hen, no sign of predator(broody?)

    Are your chickens shut in or do they roam free ? Usually if a predator has been the other chickens tend to be a bit traumatised, will hide under trees, go into the coop early and act extra vigilant.

    Is my chicken ill ?

    Have recently noticed that most of my hens have got whitened dry looking pale combs, one looks worse than the others though (see photo)They are all laying well, have enough to eat and drink, they take dust baths daily and haven't noticed any parasite infestations. What do you think ? Thanks :)

    Scaly Leg Mites?

    Looks like it, if I were you I'd treat it just in case, rub some vaseline on his feet every night for a few days and see if it improves. Had a chicken with similar issue and that did the trick ! Vaseline is good because it is cheap and not harmful to the chicken ;)
