    Sponsored Post Nestera Coop Giveaway! Total worth $1595

    Amazing coop! A 25 year maintenance and repair free coop is unheard of!!!! I think every feature is fantastic but the thought of never having to replace or continuously update and repair old rickety coops is a dream come true! That way, us crazy chicken people can enjoy our flocks without the...

    Rooster had all of his tail feathers ripped out by hens

    I do only have one polish hen. The other 18 are standard size but he hasn’t had any issues breeding with them.

    Hens won’t leave rooster alone

    I just posted the same problem. My rooster is around the same age as my hens… around a year and a half old. But he is new to the flock (been with them 3 months) He seems to do is job well. But I think the hens are just bullies. And there are 19 hens. Maybe there’s too many hens for him. I...

    Rooster had all of his tail feathers ripped out by hens

    So I came home today, and my poor little rooster is bleeding because the hens won’t stop picking on him and tearing out his feathers. (He’s a white crested black polish) The hens are mostly full size hens. They’ve been fine for 3 months since we got him. Now all of a sudden, they are picking...

    Rooster attacked new hen

    I actually have had them in a pen close by for over a week. I didn’t even get to the point of putting the other pullet in. I only put the first in.

    Review by 'Akennedy' in article '10 Health Precautions For Backyard Chicken Owners'

    I take medication that suppresses my immune system so I am very careful around my chickens. You were spot on with your advice!

    My rooster is attacking 2 of my hens

    I had a rooster who grew up with all the hens suddenly decide he didn’t like the polish hen any more. I don’t know if it was because she was smaller and he had a harder time breeding with her. But he was constantly attacking her and chasing her away, like trying to get rid of her. So he had to...

    Rooster attacked new hen

    I tried integrating 2 pullets about 5 months old into a flock of 4 (rooster and 3 hens) I thought he’d be delighted to have some more hens. But he went completely insane and acted like he was trying to kill the first one I put in. Now she can’t open one of her eyes. It’s all swollen. I hope...

    Ohhhh really? I was thinking the 5 week old was a roo because of bigger comb. But I don’t know this breed. I wonder why the difference in tails in the 2 little ones.
