It started with his muffs and hackles and then his vent got plucked bare. There were no additions or loses in the flock in the last year and a half to cause any changes to...

    Is my rooster a hen?

    Hello, everyone. I got a new batch of baby chickens back in April for our pet flock and I'm loving them. We got a lot of light brahma's and one of them we can't tell if its a rooster or a hen. The evidence for it being a rooster is when it was a tiny baby it would jump and kick at our hands. It...

    Feeling awful for culling my rooster

    Last night I made a decision to cull my first rooster. He was about 2 1/2 years old and I hatched them from eggs to start my first flock. I made the decision because he wasn’t backing down from fighting with his brother (same age) and another rooster who is just over a year old. They got along...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte: rooster or hen?

    What breed is this chicken?

    Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins. And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?
