    How do you get a good rooster????

    I think it depends on the roosters body language. If he puffed up his hackle feathers and flapped as he chased him, I would classify that as an attack. However, if he just ran after him, and didn’t show any signs of aggression, it might be ok. For example, our roo chased a child once, but he...

    How do you get a good rooster????

    I currently have 4 mature roosters. They are our pets, so we would be very upset should we have to cull them. Luckily, none of them are aggressive. One of them is with my hens, and they other three are in a rooster-only flock. The one with the hens, Oreo, is brilliant. He will run away if you...

    Thanks! Do the eggshells need to be crushed?

    Feeding layers eggshells?

    Hi everyone, so I have two bluebells who are commercial layers (I regret buying them now as I believe they don’t have a long lifespan and usually die of reproductive issues) who lay an egg EVERYday, and I have been feeding them layers pellets. I always assumed that was enough food, however...

    Pullets or Cockerels?

    I’m pretty sure marble does not have a single comb- it’s a pea comb, or a rose comb or something like that. That’s why it looks smaller. They’re beautiful ☺️

    Can you see saddle feathers

    I looked at his feathers again this morning, and I’m pretty sure I can’t see any pointed feathers. One of his brothers has pure white ones, but (as far as I can tell anyway) he doesn’t seem to. It would be great if he was a pullet, but I would be very surprised. Could his saddle feathers just be...

    Can you see saddle feathers

    Was looking at my 13 week old rooster, Ben, this morning and I realised I couldn’t actually see the pointy saddle feathers males have. Im fairly sure he is a roo, so maybe I just can’t see them? Was wondering what more experienced people thought.
