    Chicken Breed Focus - Blue Andalusian

    I had my little girl, Blue. She was quite special to me as I was to her. When I came home from work, she would be pecking around the back yard and then hear my voice. She would run toward me, wings apart like in flight and once reaching my feet would stop dead, sit down and look up at me. That's...

    What does it mean when the rooster "dances"?

    One other word of advice is to pick him up with your palm under his body with both legs on outside of your hand. It makes him helpless

    What does it mean when the rooster "dances"?

    Bunyberries, I agree 100% what egghead mentioned. I was having a bit of a "problem" with my young too. I had heard to pick him up, walk around your property, showing him off to the others as you ignore any behaviors of the flock other than the roo. Stroke him while talking to him in a soft...

    I'm a bit concerned about my 10 month old Roo and our NEW BABIES!!! (excitement and concern under the same breath!!!)

    Rooster Mating Duck????

    My roo reminds me of myself during my adolescent years... Any lady willing was one I was going to do. My roo is just as horney as any other 16 year old boy out there. We can't keep him off of the duck! I just did some research and found that there are in fact "duckens" out there from a roo...

    What does it mean when the rooster "dances"?

    I've recently had my roo go after my daughter who he doesn't know when she came in from out of town so I'm watching him closely. He's shown "signs" of... Not really aggression but more of his 6-8 month adolescent behavior is showing he's attempting to dominate the yard. Here's the reason I...

    Friendly rooster not so friendly to my daughter...

    I'm such a rookie at this. Let me clarify or just defend myself as sometimes I say things that can be taken out of my sarcastic sense of humor may be directing... What I'm meaning by the word "crow" is essentially, as he may be close to me, maybe hanging out on the porch I have for these guys...

    Friendly rooster not so friendly to my daughter...

    I have some very precious ladies with the birds. they enjoy being around us at times. More of a pet than how some may consider them a tool. We do use them as the tools for the eggs and such but we may spoil our pets a bit more than some others may... That being said, he has only shown this...

    Friendly rooster not so friendly to my daughter...

    Thank you all for the replies. As for the question brought up a couple times... Yes, my 27 year old daughter was a bit "nervous" with him. I can go to the roo, pick him up with little resistance and hold him. He "tries" to escape but I hold him, calm him down and then he sits in my arms and...

    Not sitting on the eggs

    As for the question that you all have asked so far with the heat lamp... We had heard the eggs NEED TO BE at 98 degs and higher for the safety of the fertile eggs. (there are a "few" that are fertile) Is this not true? we heard that if they get colder thann(something like) 85degs the chicks in...
