    Most annoying Hawk there is

    I don't know much about hawks, other than they LOVE chicken I'm so sorry to hear about your little boy. I have a red tailed hawk that's been here too, for the past few days. My silkies stay put up, but I leave my roo and his girls out. He's very protective and will even protect againist flies...

    Roo showing aggression towards chicks

    Quote: Good solution! Well my roo isn't nasty at all. he's actually quite the lover, even towards my family. I really think if the chicks hatched outside with him around, he would accept them as "his" and not look at them as a new pecking order to be done. I think that's what's going on.

    Anyone ever have a problem with Roosters knocking feathers off the hen

    My roo gets the feathers in his mouth, and spends an hour trying to shake them off! Gives the next hen a chance to run and hide!

    Roo showing aggression towards chicks

    My Birchen Cooper maran roo who's aprox. 7 months old has been pecking at his chicks lately. My Silkie hen hatched the babies inside away from him. I've been letting the babies free range (with me on guard) but he's going after the chicks. My roo is a great protector, he loves his hens, and has...

    Dads eyes

    He's got Kingpins (father roo) eyes! The other chicks don't have eyes like him. I just love him, he crows around 8am every morning inside. Usually after he hears dad crow. It's been very warm here in Florida, so they spend the day outside in the coop. I still bring them in at night.

Next thing I know she's easing into the nest and lays an egg on top of her, then walks out She must have...

    A BIG thankyou!

    Thankyou to ALL that suggested ideas on Kingpins sickness, and a BIG thanks to Dawg53 for all his wonderful, and timely help. Kingpin was making rattling noise, and we thought he had Coryza. Turns out it's Canker, and the Flagyl is working miracles. He couldn't crow for 2 weeks, and today (day2)...
