I banded my six hens and one cockerel Sept 12th at 20 weeks old. On all the birds, I used the 3/4" diameter (B) of the Aluminum leg bands for chickens from Pinnon Hatch. They are all Partridge Plymouth Rocks, too give an idea of sizing.
The bands on the hens are doing well, but I'm concerned...
Hi everybody
I’m searching for a Wheaten Ameraucana cock/cockerel and hen/pullet.
I’d prefer a splash wheaten male and a regular wheaten female but that’s not a dealbreaker. I’m also willing to pay for shipping if needed.
I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Thank you
Roosters are a beautiful (and loud) addition to every flock. But fear of an aggressive rooster can make many people back down. Don't worry, with a consistent method and patience you can avoid this problem.
First, check your area laws to make sure roosters are legal...
Can we tak about the awkward version of puberty my ameraucana cockerel is going through? 🤣 he’s got 2 fully grown tail feathers and the rest still have that shaft cover and are short so he looks like a bit of a derp!
Hi all!
Here are some of my babies that I hatched. I've started to hear the beginning of crowing, and I think I know which are males, but was hoping to get a second opinion without influencing anyone here. Thanks so much for all of your help! Click image to enlarge...

I have a golden laced Wyandotte cock who is nearly 20 weeks old and he has been living with the older hens along with 2 young hens his age for about 8 weeks now. He currently is eating a half chick starter and half hen layer food. And ever since he has been living with them, he constantly has...

I'm still incubating my first quail (103 eggs, hoping for at least 50% hatch rate), but I know that culling is only 2 months away. I intend to breed my quail. I'm not sure what to look for in good breeding stock though, especially cocks. I'll keep every healthy hen for now because I'll...
So today I went to a poultry fare for the second time and decided to buy a rooster and more hens. I currently have 9 hens and a rooster. The guy said the rooster would be mature enough for breeding after Christmas. I came home and introduced him to my existing 6 hens and he was shivering and the...
Hi Everyone,
A friend has these TWO bantam cocks/roosters. She tells me they are approx. 2 years old, she also said she doesn't know what type of breeds they are and gave the impression they are of mixed breed. Do you know what sort of breeds theses Cock's parents are likely to have been...
Hello!
I just bought an entire flock of Sulmtalers, all of Greenfire Farms lineage. I'd like to find a cock or cockerel who is of breeding age that is from a different lineage, such as Widget Creek, to get some genetic diversity.
Thanks!
So I have a question regarding cocks. The largest one and the second largest have lived together for a long time so they don't fight at all pretty much. However when we introduced one of the rooster to the two the large one ran up to it but didn't do much since the newcomer was quick to submit...
