    Flock of roosters on same property as hens??

    I’ve been thinking about rescuing roosters and know they can live happily together if there are no ladies around. We have five acres, and I have hens already, but I was wondering if anyone has successfully raised both separately if they are far apart? I was thinking I’d put the boys on one side...

    Flock dynamics

    Greetings. I bought three five-week-old chicks from a reputable hatchery to go with my lone pullet- who had just lost all of her beloved brothers because I cannot keep Roos in city limits- just over a week ago. When I got them, they were horribly pecked but had no visible wounds aside from...

    New chicks severely pecked. Should I be worried?

    Greetings! I purchased three 4-5 week old chicks yesterday from a reputable hatchery in town, and I am appalled by how horribly pecked they are. They seem to be very highly stressed and look and act nothing like the six chicks I raised from hatching (who ended up all being males except one, and...

    Still a cockerel? 11 weeks old

    Good morning! Hoping for a quick turnaround this morning as I am driving this one’s brother to a sanctuary and would prefer not to have to take the trip twice. Most people were leaning toward cockerel a few weeks ago, but there were a few on the fence. What say you now? Not crowing, but stands...

    Dominant hen:rooster situation

    Anyone have a 9 week-old buff Orp chick with a huge comb and wattles that turned out to be a hen?

    Anyone out there have a chick that they were fairly certain was a rooster, but that turned out to be a pullet? I have nine-week-old chicks and am getting some mixed reviews on whether or not my buff Orpington is a he or a she. Anyone been in this position and it turned out to be a hen??

    More help sexing 9 week old chicks

    This is ridiculous. I started out with six chicks and was told they were all female. I have since given two to a friend because we didn’t want that many, and one that turned out to be a rooster went to a sanctuary last weekend. We now have the remaining three, and I think TWO of them may be...

    Help sexing my 8-week-old BO

    Greetings! This is my first post. I have four chickens...thought they were all hens, but now I’m not so sure. My BO has sprouted a very defined comb and wattles at 8 weeks old. This is my 5-year-old’s favorite of the flock, and he will be devastated if we have to get rid of the chicken if it...
