Hi guys. I have a 9 month old silkie rooster and every now and then when I approach him, he'll squat very low to the ground and then starts moving his feet while shifting his body back and forth, like he's grinding into the ground. It's not his rooster dance and he usually doesn't move from his...

I have a silkie rooster who mates with all my hens, even my black astrolorp who's huge compared to him. He won't mate my EE though and that's the one I want him to mate! I've cracked a bunch of her eggs and none are fertilized grrr I tried letting them out together and singing "can you feel the...

Hello! I'm thinking of hatching my partridge silkie and black EE hen's eggs. Does anyone know what color the chicks would be? The hen is pure black but has a few red looking feathers on her neck if you look closely

I have two double bearded 11 week old silkies and I'm wondering what gender they are. I'm almost positive I heard a crow this morning. The gray one is Persephone/percy and the partridge is marilla/gilbert. Thanks guys!

So a little over a month ago, one of our hens went broody. She sat in one of the nest boxes all day and night and even through they had 3 others to choose from, my other hens (including my australorp) started laying under the coop. I managed to break my hen of her broodiness and everyone started...

So last March we decided to get chickens for the first time. We ordered 9 from a hatchery and paid extra to get them all sexed. Accidents happen though and we ended up with a Lavender orpington roo. He was a shy friendly chick but once he hit 5 months he started acting aggressive. We tried all...

I'm not sure what's going on with my pullet. Yesterday morning she refused to get off her nest, was puffed up all over, and screamed at me when I came near. She stayed in her box all day and all night and I was sure she was broody. However, this afternoon she got off and started walking around...

I have a 24 week old Lavender Orpington Cockerel. He's absolutely beautiful and very good to the hens. Unfortunately he's become human aggressive and we simply don't have the experience to know how to handle him. I know it's a long shot asking someone to adopt an aggressive rooster but he's such...

So I posted a few days ago that's my rooster has been stomping around. He's now constantly trying to get behind me (I won't turn by back on him) and he runs up to me and just stands there staring into my face. I flapped my arms and he walked away, but he's done it a few times. He hasn't attacked...

I have a 19 week old lavender orpington rooster and he's always been a shy boy, but as he's hitting puberty he's definitely getting bolder. My hens aren't at the point where they squat for him yet, so he just chases them and grabs which ever one he can catch to mate with. I also notice when I...

Hi! I'm a new chicken owner who relocated from Florida to rural Virginia because it's always been my dream to own a few acres of land and chickens! I have 8 beautiful 6 week old chickens and I love them to death. Very excited to be here and to meet you all :)

Hi there! I'm a first time chicken raiser and I ordered 8 baby chicks from Meyers hatchery about 6 weeks ago. All of my chickens are happy and healthy but I'm a bit worried that two of them may be roosters. The black Astrolorp is becoming increasingly more aggressive and she looks very different...
