    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    I also started w one hen because I wanted to see if he was going to be aggressive. We’ve watched him all day with that one and he’s been fine! 😁. I added 2 more hens and we will see how they do.

    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    Yes. When I tried adding him in he just flew over the electric fence w greatest of ease! This other area we have as an additional run for the flock. He can’t fly over this fence as easily. We divide the 2 roosters and what ever hens want to go w each. Right now we have one hen w Hector the...

    We’ve created a 20x20’. Place for him and one of our hens refused to leave so he is now w a girl and being nice. He does the cluck dor food and he’s even mounted her. I stayed w them for half an hour and he was doing all the good things roosters do! I sure hope he was just immature OR trying...

    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    Here’s an update on his behavior. 2 hens escaped in the yard yesterday and he did his bullet run at them. He was promptly put in the brooder box, timeout. This morning he coaxed a hen out of the fenced in garden (I take them daily there to clean it up etc) and he mounted her!!! Then he did his...

    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    He’s about 6 months old, ordered by friend from hatchery. When he attacks the hens he gets very low and runs fast and rams them. He resembles a bullet. He hasn’t tried to mount them, just run them thru. His previous home had 4 roosters and 2 hens in a very small area. The first day we had him...

    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    This young rooster is new to us and was aggressive in last flock they thought due to overcrowding/few hens etc. He spent the first few days here in our wooded area bc he escaped. He attacked my sweet hen I put in with him (large area, plenty of food and water). I thought he was going to be a...

    Ameraucana Silver rooster?

    Can this breed be so picky he only wants other Ameraucana hens? Or are some roosters just bad to hens, abusive? He crouches and does what I call a bullet hit to them. He hasn’t tried to mount any that I’ve noticed. I made the mistake of putting him w my sweetest. Now I pair him w Miss Mean

    Ameraucana Silver rooster?

    We were gifted a silver Ameraucana bc our friends were having problems w him, aggressive to other hens etc. they thought since our flock was bigger he might do better. Does this look like a silver Ameraucana to you? He isn’t shy of us but refuses to stay w our flock, can fly over the 6ft fence...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I picked an eggplant and few okra. I rescued a young hen that was w the adult chickens. As I was carrying her back she was “peep peep peep” complaining the whole way to be w younger ones. I think my tomatoes are stressed due to heat because I have blossoms drop. :/ they are in partial shade...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I picked okra and hunted hornworms. I didn’t see anymore eaten watermelons so maybe it was something passing thru. I question if I have the internal strength to integrate my flocks. I find myself saying out loud “Can’t yall just be nice to each other?” As if a chicken can rationalize
