roo

I ordered some pullets a few weeks back and am worried one may be a cockerel and I can’t have another one! I ordered a few different breeds so she’s my only (and first) SS and she’s starting to look a little suspicious lol I’ve never had issues ordering from them in the past they’ve always been...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Not exactly, we had chickens when I was young. I just got some new chicks 8 weeks ago I remember how fun they were. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? three (3) What breeds do you have? Barred Rocks (4) What are your...

Noticed the curly tail on my supposed pullet this afternoon. (S)he is my favorite of my newest and I’m so sad because if she’s a he, he’s gotta go😭 New to Olive Eggers, so hoping there’s a chance it’s a she!

Hey guys, I have a question. My rooster has been mating with my hens ever since he was introduced to the flock, they accepted this, I go and collect 5 eggs each day from the same spot, one egg for each of my hens. When I collect them, no hens are brooding on them or anything, yet when I crack...

Our barred rock is nearly 5 weeks old and I am still not 100% sure if its a hen or a roo, we really want a hen. Would love to know what you guys think.

This is my very active Roo…. Is his crow normal?! I’ve looked all over the internet for something comparable- and have had no luck.

I can’t say for sure… but I think my roo may have ripped my girl’s comb. We currently have her separated and spraying vetericyn on it. We tried to do supervised time outside with the others and the other hens are fine around her, but my roo goes right to attack this spot, so we immediately...

Hello, I don’t have much experiences this is my first year having chicken and I could use some help, I want to learn and provide best life possible for my flock. My flock is one rooster and six hens. My 2 and half years old rooster changed in behaviour quite suddenly. At first I thought it is...

I hatched a lot of eggs from my mixed flock of chickens over the summer, one of the chickens I hatched is a dark Brahma rooster. He hatched from a dark Brahma egg and I’m positive he came from the dark Brahma rooster, the only other Roos were a golden laced polish and an old English Wheaton...

Neighbours chickens free roam on their property and the property I live on. At night they roost in trees so I figured I'd share a few photos. We live where there are limited predators so I guess this is how they've decided to raise chickens. Seems to work well the chickens are all fairly old...

Hi all! I have some roos that I got as part of an order from Greenfire that I need a new home for! They are rare breeds so I would rather rehome them than eat them! I have 1 Gold Deathlayer male, 2 Silver Deathlayer males, and 1 Black Copper Maran male. All of them are in excellent health...

We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old. The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.

Hi everyone! We have a roo that is in search of his forever home. We have too many roosters. He is a little shy of 3 months old. He is an Ameraucana (hen) and lavender Orpington (rooster) mix and is beautiful! His tail is the iridescent green/blue! Location: Richmond/Fredericksburg area, VA

Hi, I THINK this is a BR Roo x Wel Hen. It’s a pretty chick admittedly but I’m not sure whether having a BR Roo makes it sex linked and I was wondering if anyone has seen this pattern before?

Hi guys! Wanted to know everyone’s reviews on different brands of no crow collars. I’ve seen people say the cheap ones on Amazon work just as well but was wondering if anyone likes the “fancier” ones better and why? My roo is pretty small so I think any collar will work for him, I almost...

Hi I’ve got two rir that are now nearly 10 weeks old! At first they both looked like pullets but now one has a bigger comb/red face than the other? I’ve attached pictures of both to see if a can help? Starting to think 1 is a roo as it seems to attack the others too

Help?! I’m brand new to this whole chicken thing. We got this guy at 1 day at a feed store, and were told he was male but as time goes on and I learn more and more, I’m not convinced. He does have a larger comb than the other 6 we bought that day, and his overall size is larger, but at 18 weeks...

I got this little one has a baby. She was sold as a orpington but as her feathers came in it was obvious she was not. Pretty sure she’s a barred rock. She has the paint wash legs, had a spot on her head as a baby. But now at 5/6 weeks I’ve notice waddles coming in.. her comb is yellow but the...

I have 3 silkie chickens that are so different! First pic is Bluey, I’m 99% sure this is a hen. She has no comb, no streamers, and just seems like a hen. Picture #2 is Coconut. I’m 100% sure he is a Roo. HUGE comb and has streamers. And he has been crowing for maybe 3-4 weeks now. Super cute...
