Quote: Who said they were pets! I planned on eating my extra roosters (or hens) from Day 1, I've eaten 12 out of 14, he's lucky he made it this long. None of the ones I ate had a name though, since he has a name, we decided to give him away. However, I would have no problem eating his mean...

Quote: If you are raising your chickens as meat, fine whatever, eat them. That is NOT what I said. I said that i don't understand the people who DO KEEP THEM AS PETS and then can kill and eat them. It absolutely baffles me. And i said that you have BETTER ODDS of having a gentle rooster...

I know I am in the extreme minority, but I really do NOT understand how any of you could keep a Chicken (Rooster) as a pet and then "put him in the Stewpot." And the whole euphemism of "cull" for "kill" is ridiculous. If you give a rooster attention and love (from a young age), you have...

Maybe this isn't a great trick but I have taught my Rooster to jump for food. He can get pretty darn high too.

Has anyone ever seen/heard of a spur falling off a rooster? I found my D'Anvers Bantam in his coop with blood covereing his roost. I panicked and had no idea what had happened. When I picked him up to look at him I noticed his ENTIRE left spur was gone. The bleeding thankfully had stopped and...

I have two bantam roosters, both of which are very friendly with me, and very UNfriendly with most other people. I am fairly certain it all has to do with how much attention they are given when they are young. I was the one who spent time every single day with them, hand fed them, and sat...
