    Trying to introduce a new young rooster

    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.

    Hate posting this here because I understand the reality of roosters....(quails) - have 2 (near Chicago)

    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...

    Mating Issue. Moral Dilema

    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...
