Thanks for the reply. I had a good friend come and scorer the woods the next day and we found feathers on the other side of the property and after more searching and analyzing we come to the conclusion she had become a vicim to a predator. Sad part was that she was one of our first birds that...

Can someone explain this? My wife went out to shut the door on our chicken coop and noticed our 1 1/2 Yr old Red hen did go into the coop. very worried, we grabbed our flash lights and searched our heavily wooded property and found here sitting on a down tree , close to the coop . The whole...

We plan on keeping at least one and until we find a home for the other or we get hungry he's going to have to stay.

This is our first time raising chickens and so far we loooove it but this was a new chapter trying to integrate the two groups. We have been slowly introducing them but i guess a couple of weeks longer won't hurt. Right now my coop is divided in half with chicken wire and would love to have...

I currently have 6 new pullets that are around 8 weeks after being quarantine, separated by chicken wire and want to slowly introduce them to my one hen and 2 roosters who are about 5-6 months old. So my wife and I have been slowly letting them roam together under supervision but after about...

Fingers crossed the neighbor might take two roosters

All great feedback. I'll tell you what they will be one hell of a conversation around the dinner table tonight.

Thank you sooo much for the input . But you are correct I have one RIR and two leghorns. One of the leghorns is very calm never even crows. Our main focus is egg production. At this point raising chicks is a possibility but not on the agenda. Getting the flock in order before winter is a main...

If I were to keep one of my roosters which one would you recommend? i ideally would like just one ....

I like your suggestion. I know my wife wants to keep at least one rooster. Basically I have 1 rooster( RIR) that has really come to love my laying hen and is a beautiful looking bird but dominant and protective. The other rooster(a leghorn breed) is also dominate trying to go after the hen but...

6 total hens. 1 that is laying and 5 that are 8 weeks old. We really got screws when we bought 6 chicks from Tractor Supply and all but one was a hen. So we ordered from Ideal Poultry can received the pullets which were quarantined for about a month then added to our large coop with the other...

I have a dilemma. My wife and I are new to the backyard chicken thing but always wanted them and now we are faced with a little situation. I have 3 roosters ( free range)that we have had since early April and are pretty big but fight with each other ( ie bite each others comb and chase each...
