No, I know its the rooster tearing them up.
And yeah, my first rooster did the same thing to my first hen, tearing up her back. We tried to separate them, but the hen wandered off and got killed by something. For a few months I just had the rooster, and he eventually became aggressive towards...
Whoa, lots of replies.
Cutting off his spurs won't work, I know that. It is his claws; his spurs aren't even all the way out yet.
I will not be having a big flock, as I only have a family of 3. There would be too many eggs, although we could sell them... I also won't be hatching any eggs...
I have 2 hens, both around 1 year of age, and a rooster who is the same age. He is siblings with one of my hens. He is a Silver-Penciled Plymouth Rock, and his name is Storm.
Before my current "flock," I had 1 hen and 1 rooster. Both my last rooster and my current have been destroying my hens'...
The first one could be a silver-penciled Plymouth rock? It looks to me like my rooster but I'm unsure.
The second one I have no clue, but its cute! lol
I plan on getting some new chickens soon, as I only have 2 hens, and I was wondering what some good breeds are.
Right now I have a Buff Orpington and a Silver-Penciled Plymouth Rock.
I'm generally looking for:
- Breeds that work with my current hens
- Will tolerate the weather; it gets very...
Hmm. I'll have to look into that.
He's not dehydrated. Just doesn't seem to be eating a lot, but I'm sure he is. He's a pretty big bird, lol.

Can you help me with something else?
I have 2 hens and 1 rooster. My two hen's backs are getting scratched up from Storm (my rooster)'s claws...
Ty. c:
Well its daytime right now so I can't catch him. I'll test tonight, but it looks pretty full.
He's got some really bad diarrhea. Then again, he's always had on-and-off diarrhea, more than not.
I don't have any extra places to put him, and I think special vitamins, etc. is...
My rooster is possible sick? He doesn't seem to be eating a lot. I gave him some scratch and he just put his head down but didn't eat any. He just stands around and follows my hens, but still humps them.
Does anyone know what's wrong with him?
