    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    Update to what ended up happening- We separated him for over a year. He is now 2+ years old. He will try to kill a hen still that either fights him or runs away from him. Luckily the three hens he was raised with and are the same age "accommodate" him and he acts like the perfect rooster with...

    Look for more Game Birds for Laying/Pets

    Jane, in the small bird in this photo to show her size better. She has also raised all of our birds for the past 3 years as day-old chicks. She is smart and a great mother and is always healthy.

    Look for more Game Birds for Laying/Pets

    We have had Red Star, Oppingtons, Eggers, Legbars, etc. Our one hen, Jane, that found us four years ago is being the hardiest of all the birds we've had. We would like more of her breed/type. What am I looking for and can I find it? Thanks for help! Christina

    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    So he has been separated all day and this evening I put the 2 dominant hens in with him for the night and they were bossing him around right away. So... THANK YOU ALL so much. I did NOT know what to do and your advice was (once again) AWsome! Now back to bed!!

    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    He is now separated. Presently the plan is to keep him separated through spring possibly a year but all the while looking for another home for him.

    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    We do not need a rooster but I don't think re-homing him is possible. So I will work on separating him. His beak is not scissored.

    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    He does not attack the two dominant 2 year old hens. They do peck him. I had not thought about separating him. Do I put the two dominate hens with him for a year or just put him alone? He would been right next to everyone in a run.

    My First Rooster.... I am starting to hate him sadly.....

    One of the chicks that we ordered through the mail turned out to be a roo. This is (amazingly) the first time this has happened to us out of 14 chicks throughout the years of buying day-old sexed chicks. He is 6 months old and "breeding" everyone.... "___" because it is chicken rape to some of...

    "Wild" Chicken

    An update on this hen now that a few years have passed. She, Jane, has been the best hen of all. She is the smartest and has been a great mother to 3 separate groups of day-old chicks. So glad she found us. I'd love to have a flock of her smart healthy breed@

    Did you have any luck rehoming your rooster? I am presently in the same boat.

    Rupture under vent

    Very helpful links. Thank you! I have nothing in the way of meds etc. I do have Neosporin and I will set-up her hospital/ fly free cage today. The wound does not appear to be deeper but I only pushed on it a little. I didn't see any maggots. I will go to the TS tomorrow morning. And I will...

    Rupture under vent

    This is our 4-year-old Barred Rock hen that hasn't layed eggs for over a year now. I took this photo today of her and I have no idea of what this is or how to start helping her. Thanks for any help. She is eating and moving about fine. As you can see this is below her vent. I did wet her rear...

    Sick hen and now the flock wants to kill her...

    Two hens were sick a month ago and only one recovered fully. At first, the two hens looked sleepy in the middle of foraging and then they looked a little out of it. One of the hens now is completely back to normal but the sick hen started to lose her appetite. She now falls down if she tries...

    Chicks in run with the flock?

    Update- Everyone is now on one type of starter non-medicated feed. No one is picking on the chicks. And when the chicks are out of the run I don't leave them ... I feel like their Secret Service detail. One of our dogs helps to guard the group as well.
