    Cockerel vs Pullets

    I've learned my 8-month-old Delware Cockerel is food aggressive (even to me). Noticed this morning he's kinda being mean to the Pullets when they came out of the coop and he chased them away from the food dish. He's also been stomping a lot lately and chasing the pullets, I'm assuming he's...

    Cockerel attack!

    That might be a little dramatic. This morning I was walking out with some chips in a bag. My 7-month-old Delaware cockerel ran out to see what I had, in route to the coop (where I planned to dump the chips) he chased/went after/attacked me! I've had a real mean cockerel who would not stop no...

    Marek's

    For those who have actually dealt with Marek's in real life - how fast does this disease kill a bird? Basically, is there a point when you can breath a sigh of relief and move on from 'maybe it's marek's' ? My pullet in question seems to be getting better, not worse and but it's only been 4...

    Limping pullet day 2

    I'm keeping my limping pullet separated from the flock in a box in the garage with a space heater, food and water. I think I've read to keep the room dark, is that correct? I didn't so hoping its not correct. If it is, why would the room need to be kept dark?

    Sudden Limp, Marek's fears

    Hello all, We have had a run in with Marek's (I think). I never paid for any testing but the first chicks I ever bought were local and unvaccinated (I didn't know better), and all but one developed a Limp then quickly went downhill and died. All signs pointed to Marek's. Though, one chick...

    Do new laying pullets lose a little weight once they start laying?

    First eggs, Size

    My new layer's first two eggs were gigantic. Cracked one open this morning and its a double Yorker! Sadly, only her first two eggs were this big. Now they're normal sized.

    Roosters (wasn't sure where to post this)

    ROOSTERS! To hold and interact them or not to? I had in my mind to leave them be. They're not hens and they have a job to do. So, I don't handle mine at all. Today I was told I should handle him because if he gets injured he'll be easier to deal with. I don't really want to handle him...

    2 Jersey Giants ?

    Hi ya'll, I'm a little stumped here. I have 2 Jersey Giant pullets (I think). They were bought together and are almost 6 months old. I'm stumped because of their physical differences. The one thats clearly a pullet (on the right) has the red comb and wattles. The other (on the left) has a tiny...
