    16wk cockerel scuttling and chatting very dramatically in the nest box

    So I got a new bantam roo... his name is Wade :) he's very attached to me but he's also successfully integrated into the outside flock, so he has his chicken friends too!

    Do hens normally approach roosters to mate??

    I was sitting and watching my chickens as usual and my golden laced Wyandotte rooster was trying to flirt with a nearby hen that was not interested. All of a sudden one hen comes walking over and making this very odd trilling(?) noise, comes up to the rooster squats and lets him do his thing. I...

    I love my chickens

    It's been a long while since I've really updated my flock status. I started with just 4 measly chicks back in 2022 and now I have 20 chickens that fill my life with joy. I plan on getting more in the future. They are so fun to watch and interact with, it almost feels like they aren't real...

    My petite Cornish Cross hen Sally🩷

    Look at how she stands 😭❤️ Is there a reason why some Cornish cross chickens are not as meaty and fat as the others that are her same age, she is 15 weeks right now. She is the cutest little thing, it's like she's growing like a normal chicken or something. I may be wrong.

    A few pictures of my heavily spoiled meat chickens..

    I'm gonna be butchering these sweethearts within the next couple days. I'm trying to prepare myself again, for the big day after so many lovely days of spending time with these friendly and fun little birds. The Cornish Cross has always been my favorite. They are almost like the golden retriever...

    Tom turkey injured my rooster badly..

    So I’ve had my rooster Zuko for 2 yrs now.. and I woke up to see him and my turkey Durk fighting, and Durk was certainly winning as I could tell by the swinging and pinning down, and Zuko was not backing down.

    Is my rooster ticklish?

    So my rooster, Rupin, seems to be very ticklish when I scratch or rapidly rub the feathers on the back of his tail. He sounds like he is laughing and its super funny. Is there a reason he makes this sound when I do that?

    So I don’t own any ducks, but I had just visited a friend with a lonely Muscovy drake in their backyard with his own little pen, pool, and house. They say he is very mean.
