When raising chickens as pets, it really can go left.I raise as pets and for eggs and have ran into this issue way more often with hens then roosters,I have had a couple different aggressive hens,and only one aggressive rooster.However,hens arent ALWAYS looking to attack, they usually show...

I’ve had many friendly roosters,some go sour some remain friendly but gain responsibility so often times they will distance themselves and stay busy, just depends on the bird and how bad his hormones take him.I think if you show minimum dominance he’ll be fine.

Here’s the video

So I need soem help understanding this.I have a year old polish HEN,100% girl,who is most defiantly all FEMALE.Lays eggs,has female feathering so and so fourth.I have these two brown favorolles in my flock who are older then the rest (not sure picked them up way alst year when my birds were...

I’m facing this issue head on right now.I duct taped my roosters spurs and let them go at it.Often time birds will cause a fatal blow with the spurs but when their point end are wrapped it their only source of weapons is beak, which cause minimal damage like blood, both the boys settle their...

Thanks will defiantly separate.The chicks poop looks totally normal other then it being clumped up.

I am in need of help for one of my chicks.I wasn’t sure where to place this as it’s involving two different situations so I figured here would be ok. One of my bantam is having serious issues using the restroom.I have cleaned it’s butt several times but it just gets reclogged up,and then it...

Anyhow,it’s been a few days since we have seen the fox,he was actually coming up to the chicken run in the mornings so I had to switch times up on him,and etc,think I forced him to go hunt somewhere else.I went and pooped firecrackers and through them all out in the woods,it’s scared the fox and...

The though of her ending up making friends with it actually crossed my mind,lol.Then I would have to use her to get to the fox,just to shoot it in front of her face.

Curious if anyone knows the answer to this.I am having a fox issue,and this issue actually went away for awhile.I currently have a Great Pyrenees,who is a male.I wanted a boy because I feel as if when it comes to predators and other dogs males are more Intimidating.I am just assuming this based...

Roosters don’t lay eggs,they just dont.

Sounds normal,unless no serious blood is being drawn and nobody is getting picked to the point their pecking through the birds skin constantly,I would just leave them be.

No,they won’t learn.I had oen situation of a bullying situation and these birds practically corrupted my flock,all birds were same age,lower birds got sick of being bullied,mind you things in my flock are bad at this point,so I think if they get fed up,maybe so. How are they bullying?What are...

Goodness,that is why you have to momiter introduction and why lots o gorilla introduce through a cage.Let them heal then reintroduce to your other birds and get to know them,that is the unfortunate thing about keeping chickens,they can be so darn mean.

From what I have seen soem silkies combs are almost black.
