What breed is this rooster? It seems to be a Bantam of some kind. My hens are twice as big as he is. Also, he just showed up this morning on my pasture. Do roosters roam? I have 7 neighbors and no one owns this guy. I thought they stay and protect their flock. I'm wondering if someone dropped...

I have a BO hen. she seemed to be fine yesterday. Today she is sitting and when I tried to lift her she seems really week. Legs wobbly and difficult to walk. She's 6 months old. Her eyes are starting to close on and off again. Any suggestions?
I recently heard that you can raise as many chickens as you would like under 6 months in your backyard in Temecula, Ca. I would like to raise 25 meat birds and butcher at 2 months. I looked up the ordinance and can find nothing about chickens under 6 months. All information is much appreciated...
I had the same thing going on. There was even some fighting! I tried using dummy eggs and that helped until I left them over night for a couple of days and then I had to break a hen of her broodiness! If it is not one thing it is another!! LOL
