I cannot kill the rooster. I did find a good farm for him and the other four astrolopes hens. These people are experts and I did explain to them what the rooster has done and what has done to the rooster.
Thank you all for your help. I really do appreciate it. It’s something I really gotta think about. I’m not a farm girl so I can’t eat the chickens. It’s just I just can’t, but I will try to find a home for him.
Hello all

The rooster was locked up in the coop when that happened so it wasn’t him. I don’t know what’s wrong with this rooster, but he tries to go after my husband again and he kind of goes after me, but I turn around and point my finger at him and Just you better not try it and I have a water blaster...
And she has chased chickens and chased a cat not that cat but she corners it and then she lets it go. I know it’s bad for the animals cause they’re about to have a heart attack poor little things and I try never let that happen.
Good morning all we adopted a rooster from our neighbor. He’s an Astrolope beautiful black rooster.

I have a large white Swiss shepherd. We have a front yard for her tall fence. The Chickens In rooster stays in the backyard. I just keep them separated. I take her for walks and she has her large front yard. Unfortunately, you may have to put up a fence and I know that comes to a little bit of...
I understand that the neighbor feels bad but it’s his responsibility to keep his dog in. Just like I have a large white Swiss shepherd and we take her for walks. She has her own front yard with a tall fence if you’re gonna be a responsible animal parent you have to take responsibility. I also...
Hello All
I’ve had Chickens for about 10 years now. I never had a problem with cats. They would walk through the gate and watch the chickens, but never bothered them at all. In the last week. I had two different cats trying to go after the chickens one was a stray and the rooster kind of scared...
Thank you for your reply. They will not go hungry. That’s for sure. They have a huge backyard to free range in and I make sure that they get their food when the other girls leave the enclosure and the other girls go in. I give them food and shut the gate so they can eat so there’s no way they’re...

Thank everybody for your comments on how to keep my chickens cool in the hot summer

Thank you that’s a good idea but there’s two reasons why not number one these dogs across the street get out quite often. The police have been called Animal Control. They killed half of his flock. That’s why he’s coming over to my house and he wouldn’t be able to get away as fasthis feather was...
