Wow it has been awhile since I have had a chicken dilemma. 🤣 (to skip backstory, just skip the first 3 paragraphs)
Okay so my first ever flock I ordered online from idealpoultry. I paid for 4 chickens and 2 ducks and in the same box the company sent like 5-6 free extra birds to fill out the box...
So, we were trying to increase our roo/hen ratio, and I kept underestimating our success and potential for bad luck...we had a huge hatch rate (15 out of 17) and a just bizarrely high number of roosters (only one hen is confirmed...we have only one bird we're not sure of... so 12 confirmed...
We live in Willington CT and let our chickens free range in our yard. Today we came home and it seems that someone dropped off a chicken in our yard. Any guidance of what we should do will be greatly appreciated. We could support another chicken but we are afraid it is a rooster and if someone...

I have asked before about this little runt if I should hand raise him I decided against it he’s going pretty well but he’s still tiny hasn’t grown at all he’s the size of a three week on chick but he’s about eight weeks? He also has nearly all of his adult feathers except for ones on his head...
I know there are several post out there on this topic, but being a first time chicken owner I am having a hard time trying to figure this out. I got 5 day old females of all different breeds at the end of May. My “girls” are 14 weeks old now and I heard someone crowing this morning. I...
In my relatively small flock we have two roosters who are brothers and have been hand raised (with their sister who they circled but a hawk got her one day) and are essentially stuck at the hip. While they will go separate ways for a small time they often follow each other and are almost never...
Hi everyone,
Bought this “point of lay hen” about 6 weeks ago. I’ve been asking her if she’s really a hen these last couple of weeks because she is soooo much bigger than the hens. The last 3 days we have heard it crowing a perfect rooster crow....it’s a rooster isn’t it? Also if anyone can...
Hello, everyone!
Which breeds of roosters may I use in a mixed flock of hens? I want 5 roosters of a breed that don't go broody, are excellent layers and have a friendly temperament.
I am going to buy red sex links (white tail), white leghorns, blue sex links, black sex links, white rumpless...
I just got this Rooster. Was told he is a pure Ameraucana. They said he came from a blue egg. They also said he was hatched in Mid Spring Early Summer. All the chickens they have look like each other body shape wise, but different colors.
I've had him for about 3 days now. I haven't herd him...
Driving to work today I found 2 roosters on the side of the road, about 1 minute from my house, I live in a very small town and I know everyone, but I can't seem to find out where these roosters came from!? Anyways... I know the one is a bantam rooster, but the other I'm not sure, I'm thinking...
