    Removing/trimming rooster spurs

    The assumption that your question may not be answered is probably a good one. Rather than their spurs being the problem, perhaps they are simply "bored" for lack of other hens?? IDK what your roo to hen ratio is, but I've found that although they say 10/1 is the proper ratio for good...

    Removing/trimming rooster spurs

    Sylviaanne, the "spur inside" is the quick, or "toe" like inside a dog's toenail, or under your own finger nails. If you try to do anything to the quick after removing the outer spur (which btw has no nerve endings) you can potentially cause your rooster to bleed out and die. Yes a demel, a...

    INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

    North Eastern Indiana here. Lost another layer last night... I didn't think she was missing, but there are too many feathers for it to just be a "feather snatch"... Boo on hawks!!

    I'm sorry, I kind of feel like I'm butting in or eavesdropping here, but what is "Chickenfest" and where is it being held??

    4 Red Pyle Old English roo's

    Buying the shipping container through Horizon Micro-Environments would put the shipping container required for someone to buy all 4 of the roosters at just over $150. Shipping itself to get them to you has to (legally) be sent Priority Mail Express. Shipping will be approximately $101.30 give...

    4 Red Pyle Old English roo's

    I had wondered why they were so "valuable" to you... considering shipping would be over $160. Thank you for your inquiries though. I'm sorry it won't work out.

    4 Red Pyle Old English roo's

    My husband is curious what you plan to do with them? I e-mailed you last night, but perhaps it didn't come through since I was sending it from yahoo?

    Can Bantam Roosters Breed with standard size Hens.

    Will do! :-) Thank you for all your help! Right now, my husband has 9 roosters, 4of which have matured to the point they are crowing and strutting. If they were turned loose into the flock I have a feeling that Spazzy (Mille Fleur D'Uccle) would get beat up, and Larry (Hubby's fav; a Golden...

    Can Bantam Roosters Breed with standard size Hens.

    I was also wondering about that... how the banty's get along with the standard and heavier breed roo's? I ordered 15 chicks from mypetchicken in April... now it looks like I've got at least 4 roos in breeds that weren't supposed to be roo's... :-P The only one I'm "displeased" about is the...

    LOL!! I bet he is one happy little roo! :-D Well thank you very much, I wasn't sure if I should turn him in with my standard size flock or not.

    Can Bantam Roosters Breed with standard size Hens.

    My husband has had his eye set on a golden sebright rooster for a long time & has been given one, but we currently have ISA Brown adults, (all others are 4-weeks old) and I'm concerned that they will pick on him. Also wondering if he could actually "do the deed" since he will be so much smaller...

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

    I have a friend at church who has repeatedly lost hens due to this. They got too curious, would stick their heads out, and the coyotes, foxes, coons & opossums bite their heads off. Lori goes out the next morning to find stiff, headless birds. Telling you that so you will be aware in the...
