    My rooster hates me :-(

    Get yourself a walking stick and walk towards the rooster, when he comes at you push him away with your stick. You don't have to be rough, don't back away just keep walking at him. Hopefully he will move on to something else and leave you alone. If he comes at you again, turn around and walk at...

    Cockerel thinks I'm a hen!?

    He did put his hackle feathers up at me when I wouldn't pick him up after his little dance, awww well sorry buddy I'm not a hen. He doesn't bother my husband, only if he tries to pick him up he gets the bites too. I put on some heavy duty gloves yesterday because he kept wanting attention but...

    Cockerel thinks I'm a hen!?

    Yes, and good grief if roo's bite hens heads/necks as hard as Chubbs bites me I know why my girls squawk out sometimes! It hurts! Going on 5 years of having chickens and this is a new one, hoping someone may have had a similar experience, well not really considering, but advise me on what I...

    Cockerel thinks I'm a hen!?

    Thing is, he dances around my feet and won't leave me alone until I pick him up to snuggle. He still wants the hugs but also wants to grab on my arm or hand for a ride on the way up for the hug :confused: He laid his head on my shoulder yesterday and closed his eyes and just almost goes limp...

    Cockerel thinks I'm a hen!?

    This is about my 7 month old boy Chubbs who was hatched here at home with a broody hen named Charlene. He is living with his 2 brothers and the one girl we got is with another flock. The boys get along, thank goodness! That was my biggest concern but to my shock I am dealing with my own very...

    Chick Trying to Pull Off Its Own Wings

    Can you wrap just the wing? Or possibly around the neck so it cannot turn it's head to grab at the wing? Sounds like a good idea but probably not an easy thing to do. We just have to experiment and see what works sometimes.

    Is this how I respond to your message? Haha, guess I'll find out. I know! They sure help me push through the pain. Thinking of getting total knee replacement since I have had knee scope surgery on both and it didn't help with the bone on bone pain. Pushed for time today but will check out your...

    Rooster’s eyes pecked out by predator

    Honey, I am so sorry. What heartbreaking news. You did an awesome job with him and sometimes despite our greatest efforts and what we want, the Lord knows different. Everything happens for a reason. His life may have been extremely difficult and uncomfortable, something we wouldn't know but the...

    Rooster’s eyes pecked out by predator

    That's wonderful news! I'm happy for you and your boy. Maybe a daily visit with the ladies is what he needs to give him that extra boost.

    Rooster’s eyes pecked out by predator

    I agree with CrazyChickLady64, scrambled eggs or just a raw egg yolk usually works for me. I put the yolk in a small bowl and usually the girls always go for it. Leave it whole (unbroken), they seem to like to pop the yolk themselves and when they see it run and taste it, game on! Granted I have...
