    Extremely Aggressive Buff Orpington Rooster

    I bought a BO rooster a couple months ago. He just turned one and he is very aggressive. I can’t go anywhere near the coop or run without being attacked multiple times. He just won’t give up no matter what. Any suggestions on what I can do or should I just get rid of him? I attached a picture...

    Are Buff Orps all hermaphrodites?

    I got my buffs 9 weeks ago, so they’re between 9 and 10 weeks. Some days I’m convinced I have all pullets, other days I’m convinced I have a bunch of cockerels. The two smallest and most pullet-like ones love to puff up their feathers and chest bump each other. Three of them are larger and have...

    So my babies are getting big...I think almost 4 weeks sometime next week. Was told they're most likely EEs. Also have 2 BOs. One seems 3 of the EEs has yellow legs, one has a green-ish tinted to them. My understanding is there isn't really a "standard" for EEs in regards to colors, combs, face...

    Fart/Fairy egg found in yard (2 Suspects)

    It's just about 6:30am, so getting lighter outside. I went out a half hour ago to feed our loud birds to shut them up. As I was walking around the yard, I found a fart egg. We have 3 young pullets around the age of 6-7 months old but I know that our OE didn't lay it because it's not Olive green...

    Will my hens' eggs be able to hatch?

    Today I cracked open an egg for my dog, and it had a slightly incubated chick inside. This made me freak out, not only because it looked awful, but because I didn't know I had fertile eggs and because I didn't know I put them in an egg carton (not refrigerated). Most of the blue eggs in there...

    NO EGGS this winter in Nashville—a first!

    We have had a small flock of heavy-breed backyard hens for about five years. On October 11th, we lost our young Barred Rock, Millie, due to what appeared to be (after my amateur autopsy) internal laying. Since two weeks after her death, we have not gotten eggs from any of the remaining three...
