    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...

    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...

    Rooster not at the top of pecking order?

    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)?

    New Rooster Agression

    A week ago we adopted a 1-yr old buff orp rooster who had to move due to zoning restrictions. According to his previous owners (whose opinion I trust), he has always been very friendly towards humans. However, since he has been here he has been showing aggression... striking my boots with his...

I feel so bad for him. I knew this would happen soon just because of Mr. Reds size. How long does it take for...

    Re-homing roo in the morning

    we have a 5 month old silkie roo that we’ve had since he was 1 month old. He was supposed to be a pullet. He has been living in the house because we can’t have him crowing in this neighborhood. We are very attached but it has become increasingly difficult. His hormones are kicking in and he is...

    integrating a roo

    I have 3 hens: 1 Buff Orp, 1 Ameracauna, and one Silkie. They are all about 7 months old, hatched mid-April. We got another Silkie that was supposed to be a pullet but is definitely a roo. He was hatched 7/19 so is about 4 months old. I would like him to get along with the girls. Is it...

    Hens and Roosters together?

    We have Cornish Cross chickens. Somehow we ended up with three Roos and three hens. They are all 9 weeks old and all live happily together. I know this is thet meat birds forum but please note, these are PETS and will not be killed. So, can they continue living peacefully? Or will I have to...

    Roosters with high testosterone?

    I've got a Gold Laced Wyandotte rooster named Leodegrance of some mixed lineage, who I suspect has some abnormally high testosterone levels -- if that's a thing? First suspected it because he matured unusually early, he went straight from down feathers to rooster feathers with no in between and...

    Roosters being roosters

    I presently have 13 hens (regular size) and 2 bantam roosters. The 2 roos get along as long as they stay apart. I have a big enough place that they can. They were chic mates but in the chicken/roo world that doesn't mean anything. Next weekend I will be adding 3 more hens, and then in 2.5...
