My experience with a roo was adopting a Buff Orpington who, with another rooster, was reported as too aggressive toward the hens and the owners. “Why in the world did I do that!?” I must have been wanting a guardian for the flock.
But it turned out well for us: after we’d done a quarantine, we...
I have an OverEZ coop, I think it’s the extra large one. It was indeed pricey. It took me a month to finally push the “purchase” button. I did not start out with this coop: I came to it after the non-success of our home built coop. Even after researching how-tos, coop plans, etc., we still ended...
