    To separate or not..

    You could try a chicken saddle. I did that with one of my roosters favorites and it worked great. She got used to it within a few minutes then never seemed to give it another thought.

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    I could try taking the hen out and giving her some time alone, then bringing her back before I get rid of him. I do like him and I like whatever security he provides for my hens. I actually have the 2 hens and the rooster that are the 'original' chickens. Should I take the other hen out at...

    Dog Questions! Do they get along with chickens, what food do you feed, breed, and more!!!

    I have a boglin terrier (half bosten terrier, half beagle). I feed him Iams dog food, which is middle of the road price wise- at least at Petsmart. My sister swears by blue buffalo which is a little higher in price and has no grain in their product. Murphy is a great dog now but when he was...

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    Okay, thank you! I will be having both the top hen and the rooster go on a little Christmas vacation. Hers will be round trip, he's only going to get a one way ticket. Wish me luck! And Merry Christmas to everyone :)

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    hmm Interesting. I'd never thought the problem would (partially?) stem from a hen.

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    How would you tell if the alpha hen is at fault? I never see him mate her but other than that..

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    I started out with 5 chicks and three of them turned out to be roosters. I absolutely loved one of them but he was a really aggressive to the other chickens and the other would try to flog me as I walked away from him..so yeah, he didn't stay. I had high hopes for Mr. Fluffy but I am really at...

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    Okay thanks, guess I knew he would have to go..was hoping maybe there was a magic fix. I don't think my coop is too small, I have a 6x6 coop and a old dog kennel, think it's 6x12 for the pen and they get free range time close to every afternoon.. I will get rid of him and try to go...

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    That is more or less what I've been thinking too. I wanted a rooster for the added protection when they free range but I don't want my hens to be miserable..

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    Okay folks, I need some advice. I have 8 chickens-5 pullets, 2 hens that aren't currently laying and a rooster. The pullets are new to my flock. I got them after I had a hen die on me. To get the 2 groups used to each other I had the pullets in my large coop/run and the others in a tractor...

    What are your rooster's names?

    My rooster is named Mr. Fluffy. He started out as just fluffy but got the Mr. when we discovered him crowing...he's a beauty and my favorite. Here is a pic with him watching over some of my hens and cat while they dust bathe
