    Aggressive rooster

    I hope my story/rooster is a rare case.. we are sparing him and butchering 5 other roosters tomorrow so I hope he stays being a good boy. Of course if he ever tries being aggressive again I'm sure we won't have a problem with butchering him either.

    Aggressive rooster

    I somehow missed your response last year. Although I appreciate all advice I'm glad I didn't feel the need to take training my rooster so aggressively. My Roo and I have reached an understanding as well as he with my children. I do tell them to carry a stick in the coop if they need to be in...

    Broken neck

    Update again! My hen is back with her flock! She started "asking" to go out and would roost on my cats litter box and fly up to her cage (it was on top of my dryer) so I knew she was feeling better! She makes cute little sounds at me now. I slowly re-introduced her to her flock and they accepted...

    Broken neck

    Broken neck

    Broken neck

    Hi everyone! My flock was attacked a couple nights ago by either a fox, possum, or skunk we're not sure. We lost 2 young hens but I am trying to save a third one. My main concern is I think her neck is broken.. she can move it when she really wants to but mostly she hangs it low. I have her...

    Aggressive rooster

    Update: we decided to keep our rooster and see how things would go. We had a fox attack and aerial attack and I think he finally realized what he was protecting his hens from (not us humans!). He has been a good little roo since! We have lots of snow and cold weather and so they've been shut in...

    Aggressive rooster

    Thank you to everyone who responded! I agree he is a danger and is not making raising chickens fun for my kids when they are afraid of him. We didn't know we had a rooster until he was more mature so we raised him just like the hens and handled them all so i was hoping it would make for a good...

    Aggressive rooster

    So I have a flock of 22 hens and 1 rooster that were all raised together since this spring 2024. They have a big coop and enclosed run and 2 acres to roam about. Our rooster is usually fine with all the hens, he is good around our cats and dog but he has been aggressive to my kids and my husband...
