Quote: This is a good point. Chickens are fun, but they do not understand things like dogs do. Dogs are more into companionship along with food and chickens are more into... food along with more food. My chickens do like food. But my 5 hens are different. I can feel it. The rest of the...

But my chickens are so awesome and cool. They're different. They're not scaredy cats like other chickens, today there was this lady at the house across the street, inspecting it I guess, and the hens went over to the fence and peeked through the holes. The girls are really friendly towards...

I can get so close to the cochin rooster. And the sussex. Today I played with the chickens by having a container of dried mealworms and running around with it and them chasing me. It was really fun because most of the hens were chasing me around the frontyard and the roosters too, except...

Lakemuse.com : Has anyone dremeled their roosters spurs? I don't want to recommend it, however, we have one rooster that attacks and have dremeled his spurs so he's harmless. We just take the point down so he doesn't break our skin. Dremeling has to be repeated at least every six months. We...

Last night I had a HUGE arguement with my mom about it. I'm going to try to ask again, and I won't ask for pullet in return. I tried using what my dad said but my mom said no and got angry about it. What frustrated me is what she said : "We are not getting rid of him! If you start acting bad do...

I'm not entirely sure how Charlie was raised. But if I had raised him since he was a chick I think he'd be different. I think the ranchers don't spend one on one time with their chickens.

Are barred rocks mean? I don't know too much about the breed other than it being a dual purpose bird. His spurs gimme the heeby jeebies. The barred rock hens are nice though. I don't want Charlie to breed with mah chickens and create bad chicken genetics! D:

Quote: I have talked to them but it's the same answer with my dad "he's just being a rooster" and my mom "i dont want to get rid of anymore chickens. ever since grizzly blah blah". I have found a loop hole though! Haha! My dad said and my mom agreed "if a new chicken comes in another goes...

Yes I know I shouldn't baby Skippy but he's a sweetie. I can't help it. That's why I want a belgian d'uccle pullet to baby and go places with. I would take Skippy but he poops like crazy.

Wildcats in my opinion are a lame mascot because they are overused. Rhinos would be an awesome mascot. And I dislike football

Quote: Ahem, please read the post. I did it with a bird. I didn't say chicken, I said bird. Chickens are birds but I don't call chickens birds I call random feathery fly things in which I don't know the name of birds. If they try to steal/peck/drop eggs I call them pests. If they are stealing...

Chicken.Lytle : Quote: Yea my dad says he's acting normal too. But Charlie isn't the nice guy like the other roosters are. It makes me especially angry when he pecks rough at the pullets for whatever reason. Yesterday I was throwing scratch and when I walked toward Charlie he walked away...

Chicken.Lytle : Quote: I have to agree. Beating a "bird" isn't ok either. I have Grackles everywhere...they scare the other birds away, eat all the birdfood, make a mess of the place and are generally not a welcomed bird. But I'll tell ya, I'd never beat one to death with a stick..or any...

I have additional info. Charlie was not hand raised by us, my mom got him at a ranch (with various animals for sale) and he was a year old when we got him. That was back in October. My mom does admit that we should have gotten a younger cockerell but she felt sorry for Charlie because he was in...

Chicken.Lytle : If the rooster does not respond to your efforts to rehabilitate him, then you should consider his future, not living with you. Whether that means not living or not with you is up to you. I recall the case of King Boots. He was a very expensive show dog. When the dog killed and...

Quote: I never said I beat a chicken to death what is your people's problem? I'm going to cry if I even picture such a thing. It is a black bird, that flys, it is bigger then the wild finches, it is smaller than the ravens, it's slimmer then ravens, it's shiny, and it was trying to steal my...
