Hi all,
I've had a number of roosters over the years. I've never had one that was like the one I currently have. He's fine with people, can be picked up, etc. He's a patridge cochin rooster, just over 1 year old.
But he's horrible with the girls. We have 11 girls in the flock; most of the...
I'm hoping that if the Lackenvelders spend time with the other calm flock, it will help them become calm too....and I raised them, so I don't really want to get rid of them or eat them. I really want to integrate them into the flock. I'm wondering if there are methods that I haven't yet tried...
These birds are the wildest birds I have ever tried to raise. They aren't tame; they act more like a wild creature than a domesticated animal. They have been nothing but a nightmare--please get a nice breed that is sweet and tame, not evil Lackenvelders!
I have a rooster (black copper maran) and two hens (australorp and silver laced wyondotte). A friend gave me two new peeps, both females, of this breed called "Lackenvelder". First of all, these lackenvelder hens are insane--they act more like wild turkeys or pheasants than they do actual...
I hope to keep him too! My girls are getting used to him being around. I am hoping he'll go into the coop one evening (they free range during the day). I could have locked him in today, but I'm not sure the girls are ready for him full time yet. He wakes me up in the morning so that I can go...
The black one is an australorp.
The thing is, her feathers don't look any different than the other hen, so that's what's confusing.
You are sure the EE isn't a rooster? That's a relief!
I can take better photos if you need a different angle.
Here's my second post! We purchased four chickens. Then a few weeks ago, this guy, who has been kicked out of my neighbor's flock, shows up. He's strutting his stuff around. He's generally a very nice rooster. He has some feathers on his feet (but only a few). He's small--he's smaller than...
Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting here. Thanks for your help!
I have two chickens that I purhcased in July from Mypetchicken.com. I paid to have them hens, but you know these things are never completely accurate. I'm curious about two of my chickens.
The chickens are 13 1/2...
