    Rooster..what constitutes abusive toward hens?

    Well I guess that's good to know. The one he had by neck was trying to get away..she was even standing and still had her. I hope it was ok I broke it up..it's my reaction with all that screeching. He did get off her and walk away from me. I grabbed a stick and was ready to show who is...

    Rooster..what constitutes abusive toward hens?

    Marble is about 13 weeks..an EE roo. He has been ok so far. He does his job and I do mine. I don't over lovey dovey him. I throw treats his way and will hold him at dusk with some good boy pats. I though will not tolerate a mean roo to be around my gals. Today I think Marble wanted some...

    Pics of my pullet's eye..any thoughts or advice

    I just noticed this today. I am not sure if she could have been pecked or something else could be going on. She is about 10 weeks old. One older hen has not been so welcoming to the new ones. Some have lost a few feathers. Though the older one is mellowing out with them. Not sure what could...

    Great advice here..and taking it all in. So discussed the roo situation with hubby, he said keep him if I can handle the task. Hubby grew up with farm animals..many geese attacks and nasty roos. I plan on respecting the suspected roo..I know a roo is beneficial to flock management. He will...

    Wonderful information..thank you for sharing it. I am on the fence about a rooster, yet now with a flock of 11. I feel a rooster would serve a great purpose.
