    Game roosters

    I had a similar question. What I've found with asking on here and doing a little more research is my 2 Game Bantams are likely going to be staked and have their own coops to sleep in. I have a main flock Roo and he's just chill and laid back, but keeps the order in the flock and is already...

    Game Roosters

    They came from Hoover Hatchery. That I know. I'll try to get in contact with them, but I had a feeling, they may need to go into a bachleor pen away from the main flock. I just didn't want them to live alone after being raised with the flock. I haven't had any fights but they are still young...

    Game Roosters

    Yeah, I'm concerned with them being together more than with my ladies.

    Game Roosters

    Okay, so I managed to get 2 Old English Game Bantam Roosters from Tractor Supply. I know nothing about them other than what I read in my books. Should I rehome these boys or can they live peacefully in the same enclosure? Should they have seperate enclosures to themselves? Can they be around my...

    The Mystery Chick

    Could this guy be a Delaware or Columbian Rock? I've been researching breeds and he's starting to resemble a Delaware/Columbian Rock. The marks, the white coloration, the position and height of his comb, the patterning on his wings, tail, and neck. I think he might be at least partly...

    2 cockerels and a pullet?

    I did!! Damn auto correct. I'm not sure how old, I think between 3-5 weeks. The first pic, his comb is starting to get a pink tint to it.

    2 cockerels and a pullet?

    The Mystery Chick

    Oh yeah, Roosters aren't an issue where I live. I don't really have a lot of close neighbors really. We have a horse farm down the road, ducks/Chickens/and fowl across the road. Can I keep the 3 roosters? Separate them? Or should I rehome 2?

    Feed predator

    Don't feed the predators. It just makes them habituated to humans and reliant on you for food. That can only lead to bad things, like the death of your chickens, injury to yourself or people in the house, or the predator. I strongly believe in livestock guardian dogs. Great Pyrenees are really...

    Helpful hints for building coops

    Common construction or building saying. Measure twice, cut once. I found it helpful to sketch out a rough idea of what I wanted the coop to look like, inside and out before I started building. Or looking online for ideas of different coops.

    The Mystery Chick

    He does have those blackish/brown/grey markings all over his wings, tail, and starting to come in on his head. I don't think its barred, more like 'penciled'. He's a strange one for sure. But definitely my most affection chick, next to my leghorns. The three really enjoying perching on my hands...

    The Mystery Chick

    There was another breed in there too, I just cant remember. Considering the other 2 rooster are bantams, I guess he will be my main flock rooster lol

    Help figuring out what is killing my chickens

    Do you have mink or fishers in your area? Weasels can get into small spaces and they tend to go for the neck. They are pretty good little predators.
