I just had to share this because it's too cute! "KnotHead" is 8 weeks old. He is from a Crested Cream Legbar Hen and Copper Maran Rooster. My daughter named him this because he has always had a knot on his head, right before his beak starts. All 3 guys are going to be joining their bigger flock...
I just found out that cockerels/roosters can die mating, what would cause that and how do you prevent it? I've also read that a rooster can kill a hen mating how?
Is there any cases of full grown roosters and hens where the rooster is not at the top of the pecking order (in other words being pecked on by the hens)?
i got two new baby chicks 2 weeks ago. they’re both barred rock. i got them from a breeder who did not check if they were hens. there is a possibility one could be a rooster. the one i’m worried about is named bee. she’s two weeks old. she’s extremely attached to me unlike her sister. i have...
I really want to know because she/he is my most favorite chicken that I have ever had and I have a very strong bond with her/him. And how old is she/he. My aid heard her/him this morning in the coop and the young bird was beginning to crow. If it’s a he then I have to get rid of him and his name...
2 weeks ago our roosters had gotten something and we've been treating them for it so they're currently in quarantine. They were crowing every time the light was turned on and it was beautiful crowing. I'm the only one who likes the crowing so I'm really worried that something may be wrong.
They...
A co-worker in my husband's office says that a chicken keeper he knows swears by this method of keeping her rooster quiet. He says she slips it over his head at night when the roo's on the roost and takes it off in the morning when she's ready to let him crow.
This chicken keeper says her...
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...
I adore my boys. They're good to my hens, they're respectful of my space. So. ...
let's see your boys doing what they do best, crowing!!
This is my 4 month old black copper marans, Giovanni, who just found his voice 2 days ago!
Hi everyone, I am new here.
I have a small coop including two hens and a rooster. The rooster's crow is very annoying since he crows a lot. I have heard about the NO CROW collar, but is there any other solution to stop him from crowing at least in the dawn?
BTW, I was told by a villager that...
Hi, I posted a thread about this a few months ago when my LeghornxRIW [Pip] first started crowing. I is becoming an issue. She crows loudly every morning, and occasionally in the afternoon. She is getting very good due to practice, I was wondering if there are any ways to get her to shut up? She...
She was sold to me as a hen but she recently started doing this... is this crowing or is this a normal hen sound? This is my first Silkie so they are new to me!
Pip, my RIWXLeghorn. She crows. She crows non-stop. She crows at least 20 times a day. She is a problem. But she is my brothers hen, so you see, She cannot go. Grrr…..She will not shut up. Any suggestions? I am at the end of my tether. It used to be occasional. Once or twice a fortnight. Now it...
I have one Ayam Cemani rooster and 15 assorted hens on 1/3 acre. We live in the 'burbs and no one else around has chickens. I was hoping having a large harem and no competition would reduce his inclination to crow.
My neighbors haven't said anything but the coop is near my bedroom window...
So we have 4, maybe 5 roosters, of the 100% for sure roosters 3 crow, if I remove the 3 crowing roosters will the 4th one start crowing? Or do they tend to retain their original disposition when you remove the dominant roos? Because the quiet rooster, Clover, is really sweet and if he remains...
I’m soooo happy that my little Peaches is a cock! (Even though Peaches is kinda a girly name, I still like it) So now that he’s started crowing, how often do they do it? I know it’s not just in the morning, but is it like every 10 minuets? More/less? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!!
If all goes well, I will own a rooster soon. I think I have been more focused on possible aggression than other attributes.
I did not know that roosters crow at night. Will they crow even if in their coop? Will a property light that is on all night long cause a rooster to crow?
When I go out...
I have mature Plymouth Rock roo (Gator), and a teenage SLW roo (Cajun) in same coop and run. Now Gator will let Cajun have his way with the ladies all day long, but you let Cajun try to crow and Gator is all over him Why is Cajun aloud to mate but gets beat up for crowing ?
Hi Everyone!
We recently purchased the No Crow Collar for our bantam cochin rooster. I'm really hoping that it can help with the crowing to some degree, as we aren't allowed roosters where we live and he is very bonded to one of the other chickens in our flock.
I'm wondering if anyone has...
