    Yes, the 'he' pronoun is referring to the rooster My neighbor is a wonderfully sweet elderly woman. She definitely wouldn't encourage anything of her's to inconvenience anyone else. The way our properties sit, my house looks onto the back corner of her wooded lot. She's unable to even see...

    Will neighbor's rooster steal my hens?

    I have a small child so we're holding off on roosters for now, but thanks I know some roosters are quite nice, but I'd rather not chance a rooster/child problem. We're in the middle of Amish farmland so it's impossible to throw an acorn without hitting a fresh egg and/or vegetable stand...

    Will neighbor's rooster steal my hens?

    Hello!

    I've lurked long enough and decided it was time to officially join now that we've hatched eggs to chicks and experienced our first egg! I'm in rural south central PA after being born and raised in NorCal. I had chickens growing up, but discovered it's a different experience when you're the...
