Meet Fats. Here is her/his story. We got her when she\he was a couple of days old. She grew up with all the others. She has never let a rooster touch her. Ever. She was the very last one to even start to try to lay. Never squatted like all the other girls do. She had a prolapse one evening as I...

Hey guys, I have to get rid of some of my chickens. They are eating us out of house and home and we can't afford all the food they are going through right now. We have 15 black star pullets and if I can talk my hubby into is an easter egger cockerel. They are 13 wks I think. They were born...

We have 15 that we need to get rid of. Completely healthy and should start to lay here soon (within the next month or so). They were born on Aug 23, 2011. We are selling them for $2 a piece or $30 for all. Come and pick which ones you want. They are complete sweethearts. They were bought from...

Looks like a rooster to me.

Quote: Henryhoe, your pictures aren't showing up for me.

I don't know what she is. We got her from a swap meet. The rest of our flock are 5 RIR's 1 of those is a rooster, 2 buff orpingtons, her, and another black one that we have no idea what breed she is either. She is all black with black legs with spots of hair down the front of them. We got 26...

Do hens mate with other hens? The reason I ask is we have this hen (at least we think she is a hen) that was mounting one of our other hens last night. If she is a rooster, she doesn't crow and is the whimpiest thing I have ever seen. From day one she is scared of everything. The hens do not...

Thanks for all your advice. I need to put a stop to it but I am not sure how to do it. Do I just chase him everytime he starts? Tonight everytime i would walk across the yard here he comes. I just don't know why I am the only one he does this too.

Ever since he was a baby, if i come outside by myself him and the hens will all come up to me. Peck the bugs off or try to peck freckles or moles or whatever. Anyway, since he has put himself top rooster and is getting some, he will come up to me, do his dance then peck at me. Not hard. If I...
