    Topic of the Week - Roosters, Yes or No?

    I decided to keep one rooster from my young ones, along with 5 hens. Roo Roo, the rooster, was very sweet for about 5 months. Now he's the guard of the hens. He will still allow me to pick him up on occasion and rub his chest, but he's quick to attack when i walk into the coop to feed or...

It does not, however, crow at all. I have no idea what breed or what...

    three birds

    First four chickens ever: Predator got them all. What was it? what to do?

    I am new to raising chickens. My step daughter and I raised four chicks born on Easter Sunday. The Rhode Island Reds were beautiful and sweet as could be. We had moved them to their coop outside several weeks ago, and they were doing great. The coop was latched and enclosed. It was a coop...

    Hello from PA

    My husband and I were talked into getting chickens by his fifth grade daughter. We got four rhode island reds on easter. I have no idea what sex they are...I am guessing at least one rooster. We want eggs, so hoping for female, not male. Just yesterday I added three new chickens...
