    Do you have a Roo with your flock?

    Okay, after doing a little reading on BYC I was kind of surprised at some of the replies as to how bad a rooster experience was to some, I understand it....I also understand the good side of things with a roo, this got me to thinking and I'm curious as to how many think a roo is valuable to the...

    My Roo goes in when hen lays.

    I find this a little odd but it may be a good thing I dont really know. My chickens are just starting to lay and the one that is laying her fourth egg in five days has my rooser at her side for every laying.....at first I wanted to boot him out so she could be comfortable and not with his...

    How long will they lay?

    I have a X of BA and RIR and was curious if they would possibly be layers for 3 years? or more? ....I read where someone said 2 or 3 on thiers and thought maybe someone whould have a general rule or idea. I also seen where someone has an old 10 year layer too but Im looking for the norm on what...

    Will this detour preditors?

    Would an auto motion detecting flood light detour an preditor? My thought was to put a motion detecting light on the coop and when a racoon or other preditor got within 20 feet or so the lights would click on and run them off....anyone trying something like this? Also, I found one that has a...

    Squatting/mating

    I haven't seen my girls squat yet but just today my roo had a successful mount....did he over take her or have I been missing the squat? Will the hens mate with the roo even if they aren't wanting too? I'm curious for a couple reasons but mostly about when eggs may be coming. I think a squat...

    Rooster pecks coiled copperhead

    My rooster walked on top of a mature copperhead while coiled and was pecking it......I'm not sure he knew what it was he is crowing now and young....this is obviously his first rodeo with a snake. The snake did nothing but my wife was close and distracting all the chicks to go away....roo...

    Help with a breed and one with a gender please.

    I got what I thought was 9 pullets and one roo mixed RIR and BA. As they started to age I see one pullet start to take a color pattern different than others and one "pullet" start to look very different than the other girls possibly a cockerel?(sp). First pic is the odd color pattern and breed...

    My hippie chick

    As some of you know I have a X of RIR/BA and thought I got 9 pullets and a Roo, well, as it turns out I think my mix may have an odd mix in one and I'm starting to think one of my pullets is a cockerel (sp) anyway so it may turn out to be 7 BA/RIR mix pullets 1 odd mix (don't know) my proud...

    What have you traded eggs for?

    My neighbor noticed my chickens today and when he got home today sent his boy back with some real maple syrup from his families trees in Michigan. I didn't actually trade but will no doubt send eggs his way. Got me to thinking about various deals and trades others may have done......what have...

    Golf balls WORK! (pics)

    I read on here how putting golf balls in the nest might help them along as to where the eggs should be layed, I added two about a week ago and guess what? It tricks me every morning! Im throwing the golf balls out....lol I get excited everytime AND i know they are in there. My son said they...

    Never wanted an egg so bad.

    Obviously Im waiting for the spoiled girls to start laying, since I got them I quit buying eggs - the guy I got the girls from also tossed in 30 eggs to give a sample of whats to come, as you know that will ruin anyone. So, I wont buy eggs anymore from the store and dont know of any local farm...

    We have a total of 10...one is an americana I believe and one is the Roo....the other 8 are supposed to be a X of BA and RIR....7 of those eight look like they are just that, but, one looks like she has the chocolate chip thing going on on her breast....another thing is they very in size and the...
