i will do that thanks dobie!

Ok I have 12 hens and one cockerel and they are about to turn 4 months old. now that the cockerel is maturing I have noticed he is mean to the girls, he grabs them by the throat and wont let go, and pulls feathers out and they scream bloody murder! he shows no aggression toward me or my dogs so...

I read a thread earlier that said they didnt like sex links and several others agreed, I was wondering why? i have 3 Amberlinks, will i not like them? 2mo old never had links before

well it died anyway so i guess ill never know but for some reason it broke my heart, i always hate losing one but this one got to me!

We just hatched our first batch of White Crested Blue Polish and one is solid white! Will it stay that way? Is there such a thing as an Albino chicken?

they are a wild and crazy breed! but they are fun!

they are nuts! lol he can actually see fine his crest goes back its the hens that cant see and they are big talkers! my hens talk to me constantly!

awww im sorry sounds like a heart attack poor thing

it's actually kinda funny watching him stalk the dog, he looks like one of those velociraptors in jurassic park, my back yard is pretty big but as soon as lou hears the back door open he starts stalking lol guess i will just have to keep the little devil penned up! i thought polish were the most...

Well a couple of days ago right after he jumped on the dog i chased him and wrestled him down and scolded him and stuck him in the pen for the rest of the day and since then he goes the other way when he sees the dog, but i will have to get rid of him if he starts back. he is my only rooster and...

the dog does stay in the house but he goes in the back yard to do his business, it is fenced in and i have always just let him out but i would like to train them to live in harmony if possible, maybe i will just have to keep them separated, it just surprised me, i figured it would be the other...

i have a 6 month old blue crested polish rooster who is a tiny little thing as roosters go but he stalks and attacks my 4 year old rat terrier mix! my dog is afraid to go in the back yard now, Lou (my rooster) runs up behind him and jumps on his back! what do i do??

Welcome from one newbie to another!

so much to learn! i guess now i have some decisions to make!

ok i just put the cockerel back in the pen with the polish pullet, they should be ok together, right? i mean Thelma wont peck at Lou's head will she? (it was supposed to be thelma and louise but louise turned out to be a Lou lol and that name just suits him so well! should i take a warm wash...

should i do anything to the injuries on his head? and of the breeds i named that i have is one more likely than the others to do this to him?

so what now?

but why just all of a sudden? they have always gotten along fine, they pile up together like best friends, and even now Lou doesnt act afraid of them, do you think he is old enough that he is trying to get on them?

i have 10 hens and 1 rooster, who are about 4 months old, the rooster is a white crested polish blue, so he is the smallest of the bunch with the exception of the polish hen i bought with him (he was supposed to be a hen too) anyway i went to let them out this morning and the whole back of Lou's...
