    Has my rooster lost his mind?

    Some roosters are aggressive to non-breeding hens. Those roosters normally change their attitude for the better towards specific hens once they are laying/breeding again. It's not always the same, some are like yours- treat the non breeders as if they were another rooster. Others will at...

    Are These Girls Guys?

    Yeah another vote for all roos. They're showing rooster type feathers and color pattern. Starting to grow white areas on back and wings.

    The girls HATE the new roo

    This is usually what happens with adding any new bird to the flock. They don't care this is a rooster, it's a new bird that needs to be reminded of its place. The rooster is still young- that's the main problem. An older, mature roo would have handled those pullets very differently. He will...

    Do Roosters have favorite hens?

    X2 what chicmom said. Some hens are very attractive to roosters as if they were a beauty model. This is unfortunate if there is more than one rooster as she will suffer way too much attention.

    Is this a leghorn?

    If all three came from the same place and both hens lay WHITE eggs, they are all leghorns. Clear white egg layers aren't common in backyard flocks so I'd say that is a clear marker of a leghorn, even if they have the wrong leg or earlobe color. I've seen definite leghorns with pale legs or...

    What breed is this + a silly question about it.

    Oh sorry missed you already had a coop. I would suggest if the coop is very secure from predators, get her and her babies in there and lock them up for at least two weeks. Chicks are vulnerable to hawks, they would be exposed out in the yard, waiting until they are a little older improves...

    What breed is this + a silly question about it.

    That's a Sebright mix- rose comb and her patterning is normal result of mixing a laced chicken with anything not laced. Most likely a Silver Sebright mix. If you catch her I would advise to keep her in garage or whatever for a couple weeks. Because she will become much wilder after being...

    This is not a SLW

    By pure coincidence, discovered there ARE mottled orpingtons. Link to a young couple and they look just like yours, down to the white legs. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/617487/mottled-spangled-orpingtons/110#post_11123698

    This is not a SLW

    I agree, not an Ancona. I wonder if mottled orpington is a possibility? Other than that maybe speckled sussex and a black breed mix(not cross, at least two generations away).

    One of my chickens started crowing today..... which one is it?

    I agree, that tan/white one is a rooster. Silky looks like a pullet to me.

    Is my hen a rooster? Partridge Plymouth Rock

    Yeah that's a rooster. Color patterning is the clincher.

    My female Australorp is mounting another hen

    Could you post pictures? Either them in the act or to see if it's actually a hen or cockerel. I've had chickens my whole life. Never saw a female chicken mount another.

    What Breed?

    That one indeed is a dark cornish hen. It's not dubbed, just has the Pea Comb which is supposed to look like that. Different from the usual comb with the spikes. Look at pictures of cornish, brahmas and see they have similar small or smallish combs often sort of funky looking. The other one...

    Hen/Rooster minimum ratio?

    It varies too much to give a simple answer. Some roosters are shag beasts, those need way more hens or the hens will suffer or get scruffy from too much rooster attention. Those are the reason for 10 hen minimum you see so much. Some roosters are not like that. One hen would be fine and...
