Chanticleer and Steve have left the coop! :D I posted again on the local livestock page on Facebook and a young man replied who lives only a couple of miles away. He has four children and they raise chickens to feed their family. He offered to come and take them off my hands. Chanticleer will...

I'm hoping so. I've put up an ad on a local livestock forum on Facebook and listed him as a free due to his aggression issues. I'm hoping someone will be willing to come and take him away. I don't want the meat to go to waste but I know none of us could stand to eat him since we raised him from...

Thank you. That was very helpful! I've listed him on a local Livestock forum on Facebook with complete details of his a$$hattery. I don't want anyone to take him thinking he's a nice little rooster or being swayed by his pretty face only to find out he's an abusive jerk! If someone doesn't want...

Okay that made me chuckle!

No...you're right. He's got to go. I guess I just need to find someone to come over and dispatch him for me. I can't have him jeopardizing the health of the flock or disrupting what was once a very fun activity for the whole family. My daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren live with me and my...

I've kept chickens for a few years but I've always had all pullets. Late last year my flock was decimated by predators and I had to add some new birds. I bought a dozen chicks from Rural King. They were all supposed to be pullets but you know how that goes. Somehow I ended up with two...

Thanks again! So now I have two cockerels who are very vocal. I live in the country on 15 acres so the crowing isn't an issue but I've never had Roos before. Any advice?

Thanks so much everyone for the info! I'm sorry it took me so long to come back to this thread. I got sick suddenly and ended up in the hospital for a few days.

Our flock was decimated last year by predators. Every time I thought I had things secure, something would manage to get to my girls. We lost the last two in the Fall to my daughter's dog. :( So we started fresh the end of February with 12 checks purchased at Rural King. They were all supposed...

And thanks to everyone for taking the time to look at the pictures and give an opinion!

She is lovely isn't she? I'm guessing someone put her in the wrong tank at Rural King! Maybe a customer. But anyway she's very sweet and we are happy to have her!

And it's the grey girl I'm wondering about. Her color is beautiful, a soft dove grey.

I bought a dozen chicks from Rural King on February 28. They had the chicks in individual stock tanks arranged by breed. I bought two each of ISA Brown, Brahmas, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Ameracaunas, and Welsummers and then one Jersey Giant and a bantam that wasn't breed specific. So we are...

These were not straight run but were supposed to be "guaranteed" pullets. So I'm hoping that's what we have. I don't want to have to rehome any Roos but I don't want to slaughter either. How old do they need to be to get an idea of gender?

Thanks for your help! We are enjoying them so much and we have lots of room for them to range, so I'm hoping this will be a win-win situation! And I'm really looking forward to the eggs! :D

Yes, very much so. When I go to feed them or change their water, they lose their minds for a few moments. I'm trying to get them used to me because I would very much like to free range them during the day but I need to be able to reliably get them back in the coop at night. :)
