    chicks and roosters

    I have two hens and one rooster now and i was thinking of getting four pullets. Im planning on having their brooder in the coop. My only concern is what will happen with the rooster when they are finally allowed to mingle with the existing flock. Would he try to mate with them when they are...

    Hatching - what about the males?

    Hello fellow flock owners! I just lost 3/5 of my hens to a fox and I still have my rooster. But, two hens is far too few to have with a rooster. The poor girls will be worn out from mating! I am trying to adopt some ex battery hens but if it doesn't work out I think I am going to hatch some eggs...

    fox attack

    I was woken up at 5:30 am by my screaming rooster. I ran outside to find three of my girls, dead, with feathers everywhere. When I say that this is the most devastating thing to happen to me. My girls are family to me, I had such a close bond with them, especially those three actually. What was...

    Frost bite

    My rooster got very bad frost bite last night. I am in new york and temperatures were around 8 degrees. I am working on fixing the coop to make it more winter appropriate but my question is how should I treat the frost bite. I brought him inside and am slowly warming the area with a luke warm...

    do previously missing feathers grow back during a molt?

    My hens are missing a lot of back feathers due to my rooster. They all have saddles so they are protected but some of them have completely bare backs at this point. Will these feathers grow back when they molt? And will the rooster keep mating with them when they molt?

    everything is falling apart

    I must have done something wrong in my life and my chickens are suffering the consequences. So my "problematic" rooster to say the least is being rehomed. I can't have him over-mating the hens and attacking me so I'm working on finding him a better home that will suit his "sexual" needs. But on...

    Bachelor pad?

    My rooster is pretty aggressive and over-mates the hens to the point where he is ripping the saddles I got them right off. I am going to separate him but don't want him to be lonely so I am planning creating a bachelor pad. Could I introduce him to a new rooster without them fighting to the...

    Solitary rooster?

    My rooster majorly over-mates the hens and is very aggressive towards them (and me but we're working on it and its getting better). I've heard every possible option and I've narrowed it down to two which would be to keep him with the hens and try and keep their saddles on or build him a bachelor...

    is this poop normal?

    one of my hens has dried poop all over her fluff and her poop looks like this. I'm pretty sure it's diarrhea but I need a second opinion.

    over-mating aggressive rooster

    Okay so I have 5 hens and 1 rooster and I adore all of them. They are just under a year old (a year in June). These birds are pets and I honestly treat them better than I do most people. Also I am vegan and I will NEVER consider culling this rooster. But basically the rooster is actually...
