These are my newbies. Someone has started to crow. They will be 13 weeks tomorrow. I am not allowed to have a roo as per city ordinance. Soo I have been trying to figure it out. I think I have it narrowed for to these 2.
I recently became a baby chick mom and got one cockerel (Stanley) along with four pullets. They’re all about 1-3 weeks old and have had a pretty good transition into their new brood. But I’ve noticed that Stanley has a case of pasty butt, I’m not sure wether it was because of the stress he was...
These are my silkie babies that I have wanted forever. Over the moon with them! Hubby got them as a Mothers Day gift the week before on Star Wars Day-hence the names.(yes,I'm a big nerd;) All are a little over six weeks. One I think is definitely a roo ( Solo). Would love to hear what you think!
We have eight young roosters Free to a good home, two months old, Vaccinated. Do not hesitate to contact me, and i will appreciate if you guys could spread the word because we need these cockerels gone ASAP to a good home. Located in Cincinnati Ohio and will be in the Dayton area tomorrow May...
Hello! First time hatching chicks! These are 4 week old Marans. I think the first one is a cockerel because his comb is growing a lot faster than the others. But does the second picture look like a pullet or is it still too early to know? Could they just be developing slower?? Thanks!

I noticed earlier this morning that our cockerel’s comb seems to be turning blackish blue.
He’s about 30 weeks (7 months) old
If anyone know what this is or how to fix it that would be greatly appreciated :fl:hugs
I've never had cockerels before, so this might be a dumb question.... but Why are they crowing while it’s still full dark out? He (one Sapphire boy) started this morning at 5:45, really picked up about 6am-7, shut up again from 7-7:30 (going hoarse?) it’s “just” starting to get light outside...
This little guy is in need of a new home! He’s 6 weeks old, dad is Ayam Cemani and mom is Silver Laced Wyandotte. We’re located in Ventura County, and can drive to me you if interested. He will be given away free but only to someone who would like to have him as a pet, not for slaughter. He’s...
Ok, so I may have gotten a little burned on a “chicken deal” for Sapphires. I told the breeder we have a farm, and think that equated “they can take a bunch of cockerels”. My “blue laying” group of 10 chicken has 7 cockerels (not going to be seeing many eggs from them, eh?) They were “about 5...
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...
Hey everybody, as you may recall, I made a post a few months ago wondering if my "pullet" was really a cockerel, of course he was, and that is a problem. Don't get me wrong, he's a beautiful bird, but we were expecting blue eggs, not fertilized ones. We would be okay with this, but we live next...
A lot of people have different experiences with roosters, and of course there are a lot of different acting roosters, but today I wanna write about my experience with some. Of course this may not work for everybody’s birds, but it’s worked for mine so worth a try, right?
So I’ve had both my...
So, I have a neighbor who refuses to keep their dog contained. They know their dog gets out and likes to attack animals because it is trapped in a garage while owners are at work. We have witnessed several attacks and have called animal control who actually came out today. The dog has attacked...
