    Nesting Rooster

    He is a good rooster and not human aggressive like my last rooster. So now I have 1 more thing to love about him. The columbian wyandotte in the 1st pic is the only 1 not laying yet. Shes 39 weeks now. I guess this was for her benefit.

    Nesting Rooster

    Can anyone tell me why my rooster gets in the nest boxes? He gets in and settles in for a few minutes then gets out. The girls will gather around and talk about it, then he comes out. All but 1 of the girls have started laying although several are on winter break. So whats the deal? My old...

    They did refund and we went to TSC the same day and got 4 bantams so all is good

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    Thanks. I did get a Sapphire Olive egger and a calico princess. It makes sense that she shr would be a hybrid since she's such an unusual color. I got a nice variety except that they only sent 7 instead of 10. So my daughter picked out 4 bantams at the store to make up the difference. :)

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    I'm not worried about breed. I just enjoy the guessing game and I drives me crazy when can't figure 1 out. She is beautiful though and sweet and a joy to have in my little flock.

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    She came in a rare and standard batch from Hoovers if that helps

    Not a Lavender Orpington??

    I'm beginning to question all of my guesses this time. I thought (excitedly) that this was a Lavender Orpington but now realize they don't have yellow legs and she does. Any guesses?

    Jersey giant or something else?

    I didnt think about araucana or americauna because she doesn't have puffy cheeks or beard but not all of them do. I guess I'll have to wait for an egg. Shouldn't be long now. My sapphire olive egger and 2 white leghorns started last week. 1st eggs are always exciting.

    Jersey giant or something else?

    Thanks. She has a sweet personality, too. Ive had fun figuring out the breeds of all of them but she's the only one that i haven't figured out.

    The MMM looks to have a single comb though.

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Keep a Rooster?

    My current rooster and the 1 across the road talk to each other several times a day. Now I have a young bantam cockerel that has just started to join in. I'm waiting to see if my HRIC (head rooster in charge) will let me keep him.:fl

    Jersey giant or something else?

    I got this pretty girl from Hoovers in a group of rare and standard breeds. I thought she was a Jersey Giant but she has a pea comb. Her feathers have a beautiful green sheen to them. She's not an Australorpe. What do y'all think?

    FLOCK ATTACK!!!!!

    I can't say for sure what did this but I have a black Australorp that had a similar wound from a raccoon last year. I crated her with her bestie at night in the house until I was able to move and better secure the coop and run. She healed nicely and is 2 yrs. old now but doesn't lay but 2-3 eggs...

    Is it normal that mostly one of our five chickens is laying 2-6 non fertilized eggs daily..and how do we calm her when we remove her eggs?

    You could put a camera on yout nest box for a day or check their pelvic bones to determine who is laying. If the two pointy bones under her tail are about 2 finger width apart, she is laying. If they are almost touching, she isn't yet.

    Feeling puny

    Thank you. She is doing much better. I gave her nutri-drench for a few days and she is back to normal. Even chasing the littles.

    Extra Roo

    He shouldn't be a problem with any at this age. I'd go ahead and put him where you want him and wait and see how he gets along as he matures. My aunt has a standard roo and and bantam roo in a small run with 3 hens and they get along fine. It just depends on the birds and their personalities. I...

    RIR rooster and Dutch bantam hens

    Just trying to be ahead of things. I have a large RIR (I think) rooster, 2 adult hens, and 10 16 week old babies. 9 pullets and 1 bantam Cochin cockerel. Of the 9 pullets, 1 is a Cochin bantam and 2 are Tiny Dutch bantams. Is my big rooster going to try to mate with the tinies when they mature...
