    Rooster Boots?

    I checked my hens and there is no sign of any kind of parasite. He tends to rake their backs with his foot, which causes a lot of damage. He has been put in "rooster prison," a spare pen adjacent to the main pen. He will probably be soup soon since he can't behave.

    Rooster Boots?

    He separated from the flock right now. I will give him another chance in the fall be be less aggressive (he will be nearly 2 years old). If not, we will have some chicken stew. Shoes did not work well, he shoot them, pecked them and scraped them on the fence until they came off!

    Can Roosters wear Shoes?

    My rooster is wearing the back feathers off of my hens. Rather than saddle up 20 hens, can I just put boots on my rooster?

    Hello!

    Yes, yes he is. He was given to me by a lady that sells eggs. She was sent him along with her layers, but was eager to send him to a new home. We recent hatched 6 of his chicks because we had space in the incubator.

    Using only one laying box

    You can try putting a few fake eggs in the other box, or moving their eggs to the other box for a while.

    Rooster Boots?

    I trimmed his spurs, but his nasty nails are still horrible!

    Hello!

    Hello, I have browsed here quite a bit and finally made and account. It keeps asking me to make an introduction, so here it is! I have 20 hens, 1 rooster and 10 ducks. They are a fantastic mixed crew of many breeds. Here is a photo of my rooster, Mo! Have a nice day!

    Rooster Boots?

    I have a rooster that does a great job taking care of my girls, but a lot of them are low of feathers on their backs. He has 20 hens, 15 of which are getting featherless backs. Instead of putting saddles on 15 hens, can I put boots on my rooster?
