    Can I separate a single rooster?

    Yes, they are free ranged within a large fenced area. There is a covered run area as well but I do not keep them contained in there. When we rescued him and brought him back to health, we had anticipated growing the flock. My situation has changed and we will be moving. Therefore, we are...

    Can I separate a single rooster?

    More hens aren't an option right now. We are going to put the house up for sale and will be relocating them or adopting them to the new owners. It's bad timing. This is happening with several hens, but 1 is really getting bad. She's not tiny and the rooster is the same size as the hens. They...

    Can I separate a single rooster?

    He's probably approaching 2 years old, but spent much of his first year in a small pen alone (is why we rescued him). Hopefully he calms down. How do I help the hens recover in the meantime if he isn't separated?

    Can I separate a single rooster?

    We have 1 rescued rooster with 7 hens. He isn't aggressive with us or the hens and does a great job alerting to aerial predators. Unfortunately though, I'm seeing that he is grabbing on to their head feathers when mating and causing bald spots. One hen in particular now has a very large bald...

    Rooster and pullets

    I have a 1 year old petite rooster with his 4 girls the same age. He has always done very well with them. I also have pullets at 13 and 15 weeks old. They are dying to free range and scooted out an accidental opening to the main yard. The hens didn't seem to care but the rooster tried mounting...

    Will she be ok?

    Success! She was put in with the others and she is holding her own! I think this feisty little nugget is going to be just fine. Thanks again for the assistance!

    Will she be ok?

    She has almost completely healed! Looking really good. Almost 24 hours old. She was the only egg that hatched so hopefully she will integrate well with my 1 week old group once she's strong enough. Not sure what I will do if she has to be removed. She won't do well on her own. ☹️

    Can I mix babies?

    I had 3 eggs & 2 did not make it. The one left is now 24 hours old. The other groups of chicks are 1 week old. Is it possible to put the new baby in with them? I don't want her to get bullied but I'd also don't think she will do well all on her own. What do we do in these circumstances?

    Will she be ok?

    Chick just hatched via incubator and has a bit of a vent issue. Maybe also a swollen belly? I'm wondering if this will heal or will she have issues in the future?
