    What's up with my Roo??

    Hi I have a 7 wk old roo and two 6 wk old girls. My roo has been chasing and pecking my girls on their backs and just being rough ( no aggression towards me and he is not really hurting the girls). But isn't it a little early for him to start being hormonal? What should I expect as my Roo...

    Rooster aggression - a given?

    Can we start a discussion about roosters? I have a Serama male, very small. He's my pride and joy. He is a house chicken and has a girlfriend (another Serama female, unrelated, same age). He is about 4 months (16 weeks) old. I hatched him and raised him, he lives in a coop in our house. I am...

    Bantam Blue Cochin Rooster in SC

    I live in Spartanburg, SC and I have a bantam blue cochin rooster who will not stop flogging my children and myself every time I turn around. I'm hoping someone has more patience, and can help him get better. I don't have the heart to cull him. I can't let my kids be afraid to come outside and I...

    Rooster Troubles

    Hello! I have a Rooster that is continuously wanting to flog my Dad. He doesn't flog anyone else but my Dad. Is there a way to stop him from flogging, other then going in the pot? The Rooster attacks when he's not looking or has his back to the bird.

    Rooster killed hen?!?

    I want some opinions on this, I believe one of my roosters, a young Jersey Giant/RIR cross killed one of my hens. This morning when I went to do chores I found her in the coop, neck and head all bloody and she was stiff, so I think it happened last night before I turned their light off. Everyone...

    Feisty Rooster

    Hi everyone! I'm a first time chicken owner, and out of our 5 hens, one ended up being a roo. There is no issue with keeping a rooster as far as the city is concerned, and my only problem is he's becoming quite feisty. They are all about 5 months old right now. He hasn't been too rough on the...

    Rooster Pecking/Injuring Hens

    My flock consists of a white silkie roo, a barred rock hen, a black star hen, and a bearded d'uccle hen (mille fleur). Recently, I have had issues with my silkie picking on my hens, mostly my barred rock and my bearded d'uccle. I believe he has even drew blood on the barred rock. They are all a...

    Rooster

    I haven't any chickens yet? I hope to get my girls next year. The problem is I have a Rooster from where it came I do not know? I guess he is a Polish? He is white, black with a hat on top. He attacks me when I walk. I have tried to find someone to take him and no one wants him. All they...

    Roosters being roosters

    I presently have 13 hens (regular size) and 2 bantam roosters. The 2 roos get along as long as they stay apart. I have a big enough place that they can. They were chic mates but in the chicken/roo world that doesn't mean anything. Next weekend I will be adding 3 more hens, and then in 2.5...

    Rooster being aggressive to new hen

    I recently rescued a three-year-old black Australorp hen. She was living alone for a long time. She's a sweetheart. I have four hens and a rooster, all of them around 7 months old. I kept the new girl separate from my flock for about a week, with a couple of days where they were only separated...
