rooster

I have an Olive Egger Rooster that I need to rehome and am willing to possibly assist with minimal shipping costs if not too high. His sire was a Black Copper Maran rooster and his mother was a Easter Egger hen. We hatched him in an incubator and have been calling him Laurel. He will be one (1)...

Hello, We recently took in a 6 month old Housman rooster maybe 2-3 weeks ago and he has it out for our legs. He will attack and peck our toes and legs like they are personally offending him. The weird thing is, if I squat down or sit on the ground he will graze and hang out like we are buddies...

Hello, I posted a thread maybe close to a month ago wondering if one of my new Olive Egger chicks was a male. I read about the males having a dog on their head, but I’m not sure the parents lineage so I was informed it cannot be determined if it’s accurate or not. Here are updated pics of my two...

I work at a school in Mesa and we hatched chicks in an incubator to educate the students about the life cycle of chickens. I was successful in rehoming 7/8 of chickens, but have been running into a wall in trying to find a home for the one rooster of our 8 hatched chicks. I really wanted to keep...

There is a roo in the flock that has been crowing for about two weeks now, but not a peep from this one. Acts very hen like but I’m not sure…

Hi, I’ve been browsing this forum for a while and learned a lot about keeping chickens. Recently I saw my rooster limping a bit so i went to check the leg and found this strange injury, I don’t know how it happened since we don’t have any predators here and he doesn’t need to fight anyone. I...

18 and 19 week old chicks

Hello everyone m, My young rooster Rambo seems to have an eye that seems a little gray, which leads me to believe that eye might be blind. He sometimes let that eye closed, or like this morning, it looks like his eyelids are sticky and stuck together (1st picture). That eye always looks like...

I feel like I'm starting to see some dark and pointy saddle feathers coming in on this polish chicken. Can anyone confirm if what I'm seeing is saddle feathers? For reference this is a 10 week old chicken.

Discovered our 4-month-old copper black Maran is a rooster. Unfortunately, we cannot have roosters in town. Free to a good home and willing to deliver in the central Wisconsin area. He is a friendly guy and handles well.

I am new to owning chickens and need help identifying this one! 😅 I bought what was supposed to be Starlight Green Egger pullets from TS, and this one they gave me is definitely not that (at least doesn’t look anything like the others)! Wondering what breed it may be and if it’s looking like hen...

Icelandic cockerels from Greenfire Farm, coming up on 8 weeks old. Known as a breed for their great foraging, predator resistance, and high consumption of ticks. They also lay through the winter. When I move to the country, I will get 40 of these because of the ticks here in Missouri. The...

One of our chicks ended up being a rooster. We live in the city or Eugene and can’t keep the sweet thing. Would love to give it a home.

Need advice. We culled our rooster about 2 weeks ago as half the girls had bare backs and shoulders, he put a gaping wound on the side of one and was starting to attack me. Things were going okay. Now there are a lot of side fights going on in the hen population. I have 16 hens. I know the...

These guys hatched April 30th and are leghorn, Rhode Island Red and Orpington mixed with mostly light Brahma, the dark ones are silkie mixes. There are at least seven total, free to a good home or willing to trade for some egg cartons or something. I don’t have facilities for a rooster flock but...

Dear Everybody, due to an ending land lease, I had to get rid of 8 roosters, I chose to process them because I'm in favor of locally raised / home-raised meats. And it is very difficult to re-home them. unfortunately, I did not have the time to de-gut the chickens immediately after killing...

Hi everyone! I need find a new home for my 1-year-old Black Australorp rooster. He's hand raised and good at taking care of his girls. I won't have enough space or hens for him to keep him happy as I need to downsize my flock due to chronic shoulder/feet problems making it impossible to care...

I have two hens and one bantam rooster. Our neighbor just got chickens we suspect that two are cockerels and two are pullets. They love to come in our yard everyday. My family and I are concerned that once these cockerels mature they could steal our hens or kill our rooster. I just want to know...

We recently got two hens for my lonely rooster, and they have finally gotten alone and seem very happy together. The two new ones are silkies, or at least one is. The other seems to be mixed with Silkie since she has the extra toes and everything. But, this mixed one might be a rooster. And...

I got two chicks thinking they were one hen and one rooster. They are 5 months now and I’m starting to believe they are both roosters. :hmm Can you help me? Are they both roosters? :confused:
