    Hen is alive after racoon attack 3 weeks later but now can't stand. Need Help

    Do you not have any vets that will take birds? Birds in a flock will usually kill a weak member, and not for nothing, it sounds like your girl isn’t good. I hope everything works out.

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    He’s home now for almost a week, he’s living in the run (with a small shelter available but he prefers to roost on top of it). He’s not used to being handled or having a lot of human interaction, hes mostly scared with new things. I spend hours a day outside his run (hopefully we’ll have his...

    This cockerel is nigh on a year old (August I believe). We bought him and 5 others for our neighbors after their chickens were obliterated by predators. We have no chickens, we are building a 10x 16 run and a 10x10 house for him. He will need friends. I have been told he will gouge my eyes out...

    Rooster aggression questions

    I don’t have an opinion, so your saying “learn from the people who agree with you” is an affront. And I don’t need that in my life. I don’t know what sort of rooster I’ll get for a flock, but I do know what I know of him. He’s biddable, sweet,friendly, nonplussed by new experiences. Because his...

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    I’m 100% in love, he’s such a sweet boy I grew up having parakeets and parrots,but they were kept in cages. I love birds and their dinosaur ancestry, I try to support wild birds and photograph them-which is surprisingly helpful to scientists. I’ve never had a bird because I would never have a...

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    He’s an Easter Egger, he’s so quiet and kind. Not at my house, yet. :/ His family calls him scratchy or scrappy, but my dog’s nickname is scrappy do. I think he’s very handsome.

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    I don’t know different than what I’ve read and talking to Roo rescuers, but hormones the first year takes over everything.

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    I reckon the difference between you and me in regards to roosters is I’m saving a very sweet boy and planning a flock for him. All pets. I can promise you I’m not afraid of a little bird, ever.

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    Is the only solution killing the bird? Is anyone trying to understand the bird’s natural instincts? I’ve worked with wild animals, including wild birds, reckon I don’t scare easy. And I also feel that if I can’t build a rapport with an animal that makes it so I can at least be safe with it and...

    Aggressive Rooster? Or Not 🐓?

    A turkin/silkie Roo (what maybe a pound and a half) is ominous disaster? I think a large part of the problem is byc people don’t want or have roosters, don’t educate themselves, and act like an at most 8 lb bird will kill them.

    Rooster aggression questions

    I reckon that depends on your goals in chickening. If you’re keeping chickens only for production you will be less willing to spend time (to learn) and money (to change what needs changing, if anything). I have zero chickens, but I’m here because I’m trying to learn. Most byc people only want...

    But there are times of the year/day when the hormones are elevated. I don’t have a cockerel/Roo yet, but I’ve been studying. Please don’t kill your boy just because he’s behaving like a boy. Check out roovolution.org

    Rooster aggression questions

    I don’t have any chickens but am planning on adopting an almost year old rooster. I have been told roosters will gouge your eyes out, eviscerate you. I would point you to where I was pointed-roovolution.org They can help you a lot, but a first year rooster is full of hormones. Please reach out...
