    Cockerel Attempting to Mount Another Cockerel?

    When I bought chicks back in April I was unlucky enough to end up with what appears to be three cockerels (now 10 weeks old). They're currently sleeping in the house and going out into a portable exercise pen during the day, because my ladies are not interested in having a bunch of guys in their...

    Cockerel Aggression

    This morning my 6.5 month old d'Anvers cockerel came at me spurs flying, bit me hard enough to draw blood from both hands (a very tiny amount, but still broken skin regardless and it's a behaviour escalation), and he had bitten down on my pant leg so firmly that it took effort to pull him off...

    We've Finally Picked Up Chickens!

    I thought I was immune to chicken math. I was naive. I've wanted chickens for years but haven't been in a place where I could until now. The plan was originally to buy three chicks: A Barnevelder, a Brabanter, and a Belgian d'Anvers. In the end when we got to the farm none of the Brabs left...
