rooster

My handsome young roo

A hawk came into the yard... Sounds like a setup for a joke with a lame punchline. But it isn't. A hawk came into the yard and attacked my chickens. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but I came onto the scene too late. It got my Polish pretty good, she was bleeding and scared...

This is my white leghorn. I got around the end of may or early June. I know that leghorn hens are supposed to get a larger comb but I get paranoid. The hen in the last picture just started laying eggs a few days ago so I’m not too worried about her not laying yet because half of my hens don’t...

Hey everyone, so i decided to hatch out new chicks to add to my flock. I have 2 polish hens and i wanted a silkie. I got 10 eggs and hatched them out about a year ago. Only two of them hatched though. And sadly one passed at 5 months. Ive thought that they are a bit different since they hatched...

I have searched on Google and used all sorts of phrases to try to describe this. Anyone know what can cause this ? It might have been a birth defect but my rooster is having trouble breathing - he gapes which we thought ( and treated for ) was gape worm. He never had this issue before and is...

My rooster, he is close to one now. He was acting fine a few days ago when his comb became a dark red-purple color. Today he has become lethargic and is not eating or drinking. I don’t know if this is something I can fix.

Hello, I've a leghorn rooster he's 3 plus, and he has large comb, he depends on me he can't eat himself, and he was very active and totally fine before i left him for one week, my brother trimmed his spurs while i wasn't home and they started bleeding, when i came home i found out he wasn't...

I have 2 Silkie Roosters and 2 Showgirl Hens free to good home. We are in northern New Jersey In Township of Washington, NJ bergen county. Hatched these eggs for my childrens school and they have been our pets for the last 2 years. My town ordinance doesnt't allow chickens or roosters. I...

Hello, I have two silver penciled wyandotte chickens that I am struggling to sex and was wondering if someone might be able to help? They are 8 weeks old, developed a few brown feathers that my others don’t have and more pronounced combs. They don’t have spurs developing on legs like some of my...

21 weeks old. I do not know the breed Mom is Andalusian, dad is a black mix. If pullet when will she lay?

Hi all, So I'm going to post a few pics of my two 7.5 week old silkie chicks and I would love for you to give me your thoughts on the partridge chick! I KNOW the white chick is a roo. He's had a comb and wattles since just a few weeks old. While mama is a show quality hen (blue ribbon winner...

Tiny weighs 460grams, we got him with the rest of the flock at the end of March 2019. He is my smallest bird at the moment most of my others are Plymouth barred rocks with a few little bantams. Tiny is gaping the classic stick the beak up and gasp for air. He started this on Sunday. It wasn't a...

I have 4 roosters total, and i need to get rid of them! I have a gray/blue silkie, speckled sussex, white cochin, and a golden comet. Apparently people at D&L don’t know for sure when they say a one month old chicken is “100% a female” and more expensive than the chicks inside the building. :/...

This is Ol’ Black Wing only 6 months old

What breed are these too? The Rooster I got from a local farm and have no idea what he is the hen I got off of Murry mcmurry hatcheries as a Americana but she lays Brown eggs so she's not any idea what they are? ROOSTER IS A mix Hen video

Our Sweet little rooster barely hobbled out of the coop this morning. I checked the surveillance from yesterdays and it looks like he might have had a slight little limp but was still able to walk and run without any issues. But today he's not even walking and is acting like he has no...

Does anyone in western WA raise and sell Blue Partridge Brahmas? Id love to get a cockerel for my future breeding. I'll consider chicks, older birds and even hatching eggs. Please feel free to message me for more details. I'm hoping to find a local breeder.

I have a Partridge silkie rooster for sale. Asking $5. He is gorgeous but I will not lie is mean. He has produced beautiful chicks. Colors I get from him Buff, White, Blue, Black, Partridge. He loves his girls and is very protective over them. For breeding pets and some of his breedings have...

Hello! I have a question about a small amount of blood I found in my coop that appeared to be mixed with mucus and poo. I'm guessing it's related to either that my pullets have just begun laying or that my surprise cockerel has started trying to make babies. The whole flock is vaccinated...
