Hi everyone 👋
I got my first rooster today from my neighbor (hatched as a chick and handled by the children) and I have a few questions about the spurs. As you can see in the photo below he doesn't need these done any time soon, but I feel like I need to prepare for when the time comes 🤣

We have 2 young Bantam Roosters that we need to rehome. They are very sweet, just a little loud for our neighbors. Since they are bantams, they will stay small. And the furry feet are so cute! Great pets!
I’m pretty positive this is a rooster but I just want some more input. He has been trying to crow for about a week now, not quite successfully though lol aside from that, look wise, would you say he is a rooster? He is 9 weeks old, will be 10 weeks old in a few days.
Hello! We’re pretty new to having chickens. And this forum always has amazing information.
We’ve had chickens for a little less than a year. We raised up 9 hens and 1 rooster from chicks (all together). One hen and the rooster were old English game bantams (or silver duckwing bantams). The...
Hello everyone
I was visiting my birds today to bring them their snacks and noticed my favorite boy, Bob, was acting a little unusual. He’s a 7 year old silkie.
He’s acting a bit lethargic / fatigued but he IS eating and ate some food when I offered him some of the snacks and is drinking. Tail...
Hi everyone, my 4 year old rooster, Henry, has large swollen finger and black scab on both feet. (Pictures below)
Chicken background: Henry is a full-bodied rooster living in an outdoor coop alongside a dozen hens. The hens all seem fine and aren’t exhibiting any similar conditions.

My old man unfortunately has passed and I’m looking to have some colour over my black Australorp hens to eventually lead to some splash Australorps.
Anyone in Ontario Canada? Or the capability to ship me a roo in Canada?
Ideally looking for a well put together roo. If coming from heavy bloom...
Hi everyone!
Looking for some advice please.
My mum gave me her 2 hens and rooster around 4 weeks ago. They have lived together for over a year and a half.
Last Thursday, My husband and I bought another 8 hens (18 weeks old).
The rooster is always friendly and so are the other two...
I want to introduce my two ayam cemani roosters that are around a 2 months old and their sister, to the flock I know I should’ve done it sooner and the roos are almost the size of the smallest hen should I introduce the smallest hen first or the biggest. Would the roosters fight back against the...
We recently purchased 3 ayam cemani chicks to add to our flock out of these three, 2 are Roos. They’ve been kept with the one girl and are now 2 months old and they seem fine will they be ok when there adults in the 7 hen flock?
This has been going on for a little under a week - I noticed his eye was irritated about 6 days ago but it’s progressively (and rather rapidly) gotten worse. Tonight it was swollen shut and I could barely get anything in.
I have been trying to routinely flush it out with saline and putting...
My rooster has lost over 2/3 of its head feathers in the last 3 days. I don't know if that can happen with an illness or if it's more likely he's getting picked on.
He's hanging out more with the ducks, which is what he did last time he was getting bullied, but I don't know. Last time (last...
For the past few days, our cockerel has had trouble breathing. After crowing, he takes a deep breath, and after walking a few steps, he takes another deep breath. You can hear a wheezing sound from his neck or mouth, and he has lost his appetite. Additionally, he has numerous wounds on his comb...
He/she is definitely a bit of a loner from the other 5 but recently had some sort of leg deformity or growing pains (according to the vet) that caused trouble walking so that might be part of it. His/her comb is definitely more pink than the others but it was a hatchery mix up so I’m still...
