    Roo attacking for first time- my legs

    Thank you for all of your advice. Have succesfully employed the intimidation method, and it has worked twice so far. Have not had to "box" Rhodie. Am very happy the attacking has stopped, will have to keep on being intimidating, though. Thanks for the advice- so much. I don't know what I...

    Roo attacking for first time- my legs

    Oh yes, chickschool, if you have time to elaborate, please do. I am familiar with the "dog whisperer" and have three dogs, a rabbit, a sun conure--- never had a behavioral problem with a pet or animal that I couldn't tackle. I just don't know what to do about "rhodie" the roo

    Roo attacking for first time- my legs

    I read the Al thread and what he did was to sort of beat up his roo, but the roo didn't get hurt. I don't know if I can kick my roo. I can do the intimidating looks- no problem. I can go in there with an attitude...but I don't know if I can "box" with my roo. But after reading the responses...

    Roo attacking for first time- my legs

    I went to pick up eggs like I do every day. I have a small group of two OEGB hens and one OEGB roo. As I reached for the egg, the roo attacked my legs! Although these birds were not completely hand-raised, I have held them and they have always been friendly. The roo is now 22 weeks old- is...

    Ughh... Egg Eaters... A LOT of them...

    A week or so ago, I accidentally broke an egg while removing it from the coop. My two girls and one roo jumped on it and started eating right away. I got it out of there as quickly as I could. The girls continued laying eggs normally, and I collected them. Then, this weekend, they layed eggs...

    Are There any non-crowing rooster breeds?

    Hurricane coming my way!

    I have a coop that is partially covered but exposed to rain on one side. I am in Miami so the immediate threat has passed but on Sunday i assembled a huge dog crate inside in case I need to remove the flock to it. The flock is two OEGB hens and one OEGB roo I wouldn't be so worried that...

    odd poop, worried by 1 death

    Thank you for posting the link to the chart! Very helpful, one of my three had a poop in which they shed intenstinal lining- just like the photograph showed. So, so happy that there's no cause for concern.

    please tell me your chickens names.

    Fendi (turned out to be a rooster, so his name has been changed to "Mr. Fendi") Hannah & Sister Mary & Rhoda (turned out to be a rooster, so his name is "Rhod") Have fun naming!!!

    mouse eating chickens!!

    @FendiChick : Quote: The easiest way to control critters from eating your chicken food is to add crushed red peppers to the feed, rodents won't eat it because it's too hot for them but poultry can't tell at all if it's spicy or not. I learned about this from watching a show about a bird...

    3 Month-Old OEGB Roo Question!

    Friday at dusk I let him out of the cage and everyone woke up together. All has been well, no fights, it doesn't seem like he is "mature" yet - he doesn't have a full crow in the morning. He doesn't seem to dominate- at least not yet- But as far as fights were concerned, and that was what I...

    mouse eating chickens!!

    It was so dry here in So. FL - a couple of weeks ago I noticed a few mice getting into my coop at dusk- so I put traps out but haven't caught anything. I don't want mice in the coop! I am sure this happens in nature but I just don't want to think about them eating my chickens' food and...
