    Pecking Order Problems - Wounded Rooster

    Two days ago my 2 roosters got into a nasty fight. The smaller of the 2 was moderatly injured on his comb and waddle. the other roo had taken chunks out of the comb and he was lucky not to be missing an eye. It wasnt bleeding horribly and he seemed to be fine, so we left him alone. Now this...

    Got chickens, now to find out what they are...

    I have a young roo that looks alot like yours. Mine is from a K5 hatching project and I don't know anything about the mixes kept at the farm that provided our eggs. Another member had posted a similar roo and referred to the "patented" Black Rocks that they look very similar to. Here's mine...

    I am WOMAN..... as I beat my chest show you pictures of my coop!!

    WOW! Kudos to you, girl! I'm bookmarking this for DH to take a look at. We may have to come for a visit and see your girls after they move in! You've done a great job. We'll be starting on ours after next week's vacation since it looks like I'll be in the market for some pullets. My...

    Quote: I'm so sorry for your further heartache! The coons come to knock at my door out here. They like to eat with our cats, so I know that I have to make our coop super safe. And snakes galore too like Joy said. When you have a small flock, it can be wiped out in such a horrible moment. We...

    So if I'm a roo, what kind? ... was Gender Bender?

    Thanks for the encouraging me to come out guys! (Mom says "NOT!") Now she's wondering what to do with two "pet" roosters and no hens. Maybe this is chicken math. My post is updated to ask what kind of chicken I might be.

    Quote: Diane, I'm sorry that you lost one of your girls! I know that we have so many varmints around that would like to have a chicken. We're going to build our coop like a safe. Right now our two are still living in their exended brooder in the garage. Speaking of which, I'm thinking...

    So if I'm a roo, what kind? ... was Gender Bender?

    Hi ya'll, My name is Peppy or Pepe' for those of the French persuasion. My adopted chick'nmama always told me that I'm a Black Star or Black Sex Link pullet. When her friend who attended my hatching saw us, she thought that's what my little family was. So my mom looked and looked at all of the...

    5/6 month old roosters don't crow- crap I jinxed myself now...

    Good thing too! Mine started sounding like he was choking or gagging at 3 weeks!

    My hen crows!

    And I thought I was crazy: The other day, my 8 week old cockeral was trying to start his usual conversation from the garage while I was in the kitchen. When he crows we look out and talk to him, probably the start of future grief. Anyway, right on the tail of his juvenile voice changing...

    What is Fluffy?

    You'll find lots of helpful people here with lots of knowledge and love for chickens. I'm a newbie too and I've been trying to ID a cockeral that I got from a school hatching project. I didn't have to post too many times before I could upload a picture to this thread. We'll be looking for Fluffy.

    Quote: I'm nearby too, just a little farther south toward Woodruff than Joy, on Reidville Rd. I'm also a new to this board and a new chicken mom. We just have two pets adopted from a K5 hatching, a Amber link cockeral (I think) and a Black Star pullet that are 10 weeks old. Did you make...
