I ended up with three roosters when they were all supposed to be hens soo i gave two away but was writer attached to hank and he’sa god boy. Loving. Kind and doesnt fight us. So we kept him and yes we plan of hatching eggs in the spring. He may just need a time out for a bit. They were all...
Thank you. I just had to put a matting saddle on one of our buffs because of matting issues. Lol i only have 1 rooster to 15 hens. Boy does he get around
It seems all my whyandottes have a band of missing feathers along their heads. This one is the worst looking. Could this be overmatting or someting else. They are in an enclosed coop. Lots of room. And enclosed hardwire run fresh water and food daily. Acv and vitamins once a month. Treats once a...
