Thanks! He's been crowing since 5 am, lol! It's cracking me up!! Suppose it should as he's my first rooster! Well, not including my 6 male LOUD guineas! But they all are hilarious in their own right!
Hubby just picked up this rooster as a surprise to me n the kids but never asked type and age etc.. I have 2 hens, one he's already had his way with, plus 6 Guineas. He's friendly and huge n let's my 8 year old hold him. Any help on breed and info would be awesome!
I have 7 and 4 are about 1.5 yrs old. They have just within the last 6 months grown into their voice. They changed a lot prior to the point when I thought I knew, I didn't. I'm almost positive they are males and my 3 younger ones are females. They changed so much from being little that it really...
I'm in northern Mn and it is 2 degrees F. My 5 usually spend their evening in a fenced 15 by 15 xog kennel n then roam all day, but I had to move their food n water to a place I noticed they go when its snowing n blowing. They took to it great, no probs, tho last night they decided to roost way...

I agree with leaving them locked up, but wasn't sure if they should be 12 wks, 16wks...?? It was a novel event the other day but pretty neat watching them! I moved them to a larger area yesterday so they can get what they need ie exercise, stretching their wings, roosting foraging etc. Enclosed...
Awwwww, that sux! Poor mama:( I'm sorry for your loss, truly. It goes to show that they have their own thoughts in any given situations whith sitting outin the rain! Goofy, wonder why they do that???
P.S.
They are now 7-8 wks old. Have had them for 3 wks and got them specifically for ticks as o was diagnosed w Lymes dearest 2 months ago. Well not fair, I've always loved birds, I save n foster baby wild birds as people need, total accidental occupation there but thats another story!! ;)p
I am bran spankin new at this too and I handled them for 1st wk or so that I had them (have 5 that were 4-5 wks when bought) and they would freak but boy, they, when left to their own decision come right out when I call them (here babies) and love salad mix when I offer and aren't scared to...
