    VERY Aggressive Rooster: Please Help!

    I’ve been dealing with an increasingly aggressive rooster in my flock for coming on 6 months now. I deeply value the role he plays, particularly in that he’s been an exceptional protector for our free range hens. Knock on wood we haven’t lost a single one (or had so much as an injury) in the...

    I may have finally "broke" my crazy cock

    I know there are a lot of threads for aggressive roosters/cocks, so here's my experience thus far with my own and how it seems that I've "fixed" his attitude.

    Hen Suddenly Aggressive! What should I do?

    I adopted 5 baby chicks in early April. Three weeks ago, I moved them to the baby coop which I put inside the run such that my 3 hens could see but not touch the babies (and vice versa). My normally docile Australorp has suddenly turned into a psychotic beast. All she wants to do is to burst...

    Aggressive Rooster needs more hens?

    My big rooster got pretty protective once he got his hens but he's getting even more so lately. He only has 2 hens, would getting more hens for him help? I figured maybe he's being overprotective since he only has the 2 and if he had more he'd mellow out a bit. I was thinking I might just get a...
