Hey y'all!!
So I've got a 1 year old rooster here that one of my hens raised (along w/ his two sisters).
My neighbor has given me a few eggs to hatch and those three were the ones that survived.
Long story short, we moved to another property and I need to figure out what breed this rooster is...
I have 1 rooster (a silkie) and 7 hens. My rooster and 3 of my hens are all a little over a year old. My other hens are between 3-5 years old. I’ve been able to watch my rooster court the hens that are his age and he mostly ignores the older ones except for the occasional peck. However...
This Cochin rooster got in a fight with another one (escaped his pen) and that resulted in his eye getting inquired and now I think infected? There is no pus, but it has a smell. This happened 4 days ago and he hasn’t open his eye. I’ve cleaned out with vetricyn eye wash and have put termycian...
Guys I have pullets that are about 12 weeks old and I bought an adult rooster to help protect them after I lost a hen to a predator. I got a rooster and kept him separated from them for about 2 weeks to get them used to him. They could see each other through a fence that touched. Now everytime I...
Hello all!
My partner and I have kept chickens for quite a while, but I'm a federal worker and now that I am back in the office full time we are looking to move closer to my work. However we would be unable to keep chickens in all of the areas we are looking at. We have already found good homes...
I have a beautiful Rooster named Jack. I think he has a grudge against me, honestly. He attacks me every chance he gets. I trusted him at first until I was filling up the reusable water container while my little flock was free ranging, and he flogged me right on the face. I have two children...

Free to a Good Home Friendly, Protective Rooster Needs a New Flock!
We are looking for a great home for our beloved rooster! He has been raised since he was a chick and has spent the past year free-ranging with our flock of seven hens. Hes a strong, protective rooster with a lot of personality...
it has been very cold here in SW Michigan and unfortunately or Roo got frostbite on his comb and wattles. It’s supposed to be in the double digits the rest of the week, so should I just leave him in the coop with his ladies? Or bring him in the garage which is also still cold?
I have 32 chickens: 8 pullets/1 cockerel (8 weeks) and 21 hens/2 roosters. The hens are of varying ages but the roosters are 1 year 3 months.
We’ve had 4 roosters before these ones, unfortunately losing them all to predators. I have never experienced rooster aggression towards me before.

Two years ago, my journey with chickens began when my ex-partner, a school teacher, got two chicks after hatching. Due to my diagnosed mental health issues, including primary insomnia, double depression, ADHD, and DID, I thought a rooster might help me wake up and build a routine. We lived in a...
Hey all! I just wanted to share my experience with my first flock. To start, I will give a quick background:
We got EE chicks at 3 weeks old. They were clearly mishandled because they panicked when anyone came near them. I spent a lot of time hand feeding them live mealworms to help them see me...

My one and a half year old rooster has a bleeding foot, and I’m unsure about whether it’s coming from the spur or a wound on the leg itself. He lives in a spacious coop with 5 hens, and acts/looks completely normal and healthy. However, his feet do bleed pretty often (around once every 2 months...
A hawk tried to get one of my chickens today but my husband scared it away. My question is about my rooster. He’s a 9-month-old Maran. I thought he would try to fight off a hawk but he ran into the woods with the hens. Is this normal? Is he a coward or was he defending the hens by taking them...
