Thanks everyone, we did trim them up yesterday and they have come out the coop since this morning. They are just so skittish it's something I am not used to with our other hens.

Really no one has a comment? Some words of wisdom anything???

On Sunday I woke DH to go on a road trip for some polish crested chickens 3 hens 1 roo. I did my research on them and am prepared for their lack of sight, but was not prepared for having to teach these chickens to be chickens. When we got to the place he had them in a very large crate that was...

We are putting our EE rooster up for sale, and would like to put two of our larger silkie roosters with the flock of silver laced wyndott, buff orphingtons and EE/IB hens. But is this a mission impossible? We like hatching and want to make sure they will be fertile eggs. I looked up on the board...

post on craigs list for your area, we too have too many silkie rooster 4 out of 6 so we are going to rehome two of them good luck. If I were closer I would take them off your hands. Silkies should go fast.

Is this an ok predicament being so late in the season? This. Is a first for us, we knew they could go broody, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly. We collect eggs everyday and she has 2 under her so I know they are from this afternoon. We don't mind having new chicks but we are usually...

We just put our roo down today. He flogged my hubby twice and last nights episode left him with some pretty good gashes and then this morning he attacked our daughter she was not injured but really shook up. He came at her from behind, now we just have a young 5 month old roo and he keeps his...

Thanks Red Barn, Hawk is proving to be a good protector too. I think that is what Rocky's problem was, Hawk used to run and bump Rocky off the hens. And for some reason he took target on hubby. Rock was a big roo too he had to have been near 10#. Now the hens need to get used to Hawk being the...

Todd wouldnt have it, he is not a fan of having things recorded. sorry to disappointe

Well Rocky has met his demise this morning. He flogged our dd she did not get injured thank god but it scared the crap outta me. I woke up hubby and he took care of the problem. Now we only have one rooHawk and he is scared of us, I want it that way so he will keep his distance. Thanks for the...

Well today I finally saw it happen and hubby took some of your advice and lets just say hubby now has 4 band aids and an ice pack on his ankle. He will give it another shot tomorrow but this time he will be taking the tennis racket with him. If it happens again I will be putting him up on...

we have some severe weather coming our way and our chickens are free ranging right now should I put them back in their coop its still very warm here but it has the potential of getting nasty whats your take and hurry I have about 30 mins

Thank you let me know if would like some. Come July my Buffs and silvers should start laying and Rocky has already been doing his love dance on them so I know they will be fertile eggs also.

thank you for all of your replys I will have DH do some of the "retraining" techniques I hope they work. Also he did tell me that he olnly does the chasing when his back is to him not when he is looking right at him. do you think that makes a diff?

if you cant find any fertile eggs I will be more than happy to send you 6, my roo is an EE and my hens are Isa Browns. they make some really interesting looking chicks everyone of them is different its a riot. let me know.

It started yesterday our rooster "Rocky" chased my hubby as he was heading to the garage. Hubby didnt think anything of it, well today dh let the chickens out since he was going out to work on the truck (I normally do it) and the Rocky chased him again and this time he actually launched himself...
