Since my disappearing hen got way off topic from the thread title concerning rooster behavior, I started another thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1139772/the-disappearing-and-returning-hen#post_17698230

I did not see her after that few minutes this morning. It didn't occur to me at that time to try to confine her. I was just so surprised and thinking about what all she may have been doing and where.. Later today, I thought about that. I was going to ask you all if I should keep her confined...

She's already disappeared again. Hiding, or took off somewhere. At least I know it was not a hawk. Maybe she's gone primal, wild, and will just visit now and then?? A friend of mine said maybe she has a beau somewhere. As I said, I'm in town. Technically, we are not supposed to have...

UPDATE the young dom that disappeared after hawk strike a WEEK AGO showed back up this morning! I am so confused. Bizarre. Dom hen #1, as I called her, appeared in the yard this morning just after I let the chickens out to forage. I was back in the house and looked out the window, doing a...

I am seriously laughing out loud right now! tarded, special. Yeah, I laugh at him one minute and feel sorta pity the next. It IS funny. I don't know the guy I got them from other than our exchange conversation, and today's conversation. My gut and intuition tells me he's a good, decent...

Thanks Lazy Gardener. After the coon, we added wire in the gap where roof meets side. It was apparent that's where he went in. The rest of the coop was sound, with tight hardware cloth that is buried in trench. That roof line was a weakness. Raccoons are so smart and agile, I hate em! I...

Anyone have thoughts on his barred rock looking comb? Odd that the 3 females I got with him have obvious looking Dom combs. Maybe the guy I got them from breeds several types of chickens and didn't keep his eggs marked well. I was curious if he could be a Dom/BR cross and have a comb like...

Back on March 15 of this year, I got 4 chicks, 1 day old, supposed to be Dominique pullets. So, now 7 months old. One is a rooster, and I have never had a rooster before. Can y'all shed some light on a couple things? 1.The 3 pullets, same day acquired from a craigs list post, have clearly...
