    Aggressive Rooster - Best Rooster Breed

    My all time favorite rooster and my oldest rooster was killed in January by a tomcat. He was a White Rock. He never ever threatened anyone. I had a Buckeye rooster that once flapped his wings at me but many times tried to threaten my husband. Our white rock was so good to his hens. He would...

    We got her from Runnings and they were supposed to be black Australorp but who knows! Ameraucanas confuse me. It seems like they do not all look alike?

    Help me with this breed!?

    Thank you for your input! I have never had a Maran but was hoping I would have one with the colored egg layer assortment. Haven't figured out all of the rest of them yet. Could be they gave me a rooster along with that assortment. I will take him no matter what he is! I will check his toes...

    Help me with this breed!?

    Initially that is what I thought but wasn't sure because he has a light cream or tan and not a lot of copper at this stage. He is about 11 or 12 weeks old.

    I got them from Hoover’s Hatchery. He just doesn’t fit anything except that his feet are feathered.

    Help me with this breed!?

    This spring I ordered an assorted mixture of colored egg layers and a mixture of bantam cochin along with a few specific breeds. I thought it would be fun but it is driving me crazy trying to figure out what I have in my coop! To start I have what I think is a rooster and he has feathers on...

    Guinea Nesting Boxes...

    We have a new set of guineas from last year that we have not let outside because we lost our older guineas last year to cats. I started putting their eggs in a tire in the coop area where they sleep and where the chickens nest boxes are. Today I went in and there are 15 eggs in the tire. My...

    Will cats kill chickens?

    I will let you know what the camera shows! We keep reinforcing the chicken wire hoping to keep whatever it is out. We will find out if we succeed. Maybe we should face a camera towards the chicken wire to see what shows up.

    Will cats kill chickens?

    My husband was going to take care of the first two cats he found in the barn. The next day he found completely different cats in the barn. Right now we are letting them live...hoping we can strengthen the wall. I just hate that we can't let the chickens outside. We need the cats because of...

    Will cats kill chickens?

    We have had both cats and chickens and the same dogs for a few years....so upsetting that this is happening. Have never had to worry. Cats and dogs would wonder in and out when the door is open during the day. I feel that I can't trust any of them anymore so will have to keep the chickens inside.

    Hi! My name is Connie and we have had a pretty big flock of chickens until lately. I have two collie dogs who have been free to go in and out of the barn with the chickens or just meander around while the chickens are free ranging until......the last two to three weeks. We have been missing...
