Hello,
I have one of my chickens who is around 5 years old and it stopped laying, except it rarely does lay an egg. This hen always used to come to other hens who are broody and force them to leave then sits instead of them for a few days then also leaves when it was younger. Anyways, now it's...
I tried to search information about roosters injuring themselves, but couldn't find anything...
I trimmed my little bantam rooster's spurs today. It was overdue, but didn't seem too bad. He's been holding up one leg lately and I thought while I had him held down to trim his spurs I would check...
Hello, our neighbors in fort myers ( 33908 zip code to be specific) have 2 roosters that make noise starting at 530am. These neighbors also have chickens which we don't mind but the roosters are making my life he'll. I have tried talking to my neighbor about this and he was not willing to have...
Young Serama I found and am nursing back from the damage the big bullies have done. He just started growing a few days ago so I know he’s young probably two maybe three months old.
I’m not sure how Seramas mature. I have silkies and him alone will not mix with the flock as they are much larger...
Hi all - asking for some help ID’ing whether this bird is a hen or rooster. Bought four birds from the local feed store back at the beginning of July. They’re almost 19 weeks old now. No eggs yet but must be getting close.
Heard some distinct crowing coming from the coop the last couple...
I am an amateur poultry keeper, keep ducks of various breeds, chickens of various breeds, and some pearl guinea-fowl.
One of my guinea-fowl pullets just got nailed by a hawk whilst the others were sounding their alarm and hiding in the bushes. My giant cochin rooster & other roosters couldn't...
Hello hello! Who wants a couple of pet roosters who are very good to their humans and hens of all ages? Come take a look at the combo known as Fluffy and Waffles!
We did the chicken math, and even if we could hide both of them from the chicken police, we don’t have enougn ladies for the two of...
Hello everyone! I live in Pinellas County where roosters and flocks larger than four aren’t allowed. Well… I have six chickens and I think two of my three buff Orpingtons are sweet, funny, friendly roosters.
Fluffy was born around early June. He is gorgeous, smart, great with my kids (4yo and...
I got 2 suprise roosters along with my flock of laying hens that are about to be 6 months old. They've both been pretty respectful roosters so far as they've been going through puberty and haven't been attacking me. As my flock is supervised free-range, I've made sure to work on calling them...
7mo old rooster, returns to coop each night, protective of flock. Non aggressive to adults but slightly protective to kids that may chase chickens. Free to anyone in Maryland or DC area.
Hey everyone, just wanted some assistance please. I have a new D’uccle rooster but he has been only using one foot from day one. No sign of bumble or any infection I don’t think foot is nice and clean. But at the base of one of the foot feathers that’s still in its casing there is a black growth...
I have a 7mo old satin silkie rooster who about a month ago stopped crowing. We had to remove the 5 silkies from the big coop because the big ones started attacking the little ones. So we moved them to a smaller coop near the other one. Since moving he’s been kinda mopy seeming and hasn’t crowed...
I have an 18 week old gray Green Queen rooster in need of a flock to protect/lead. This is Graybeard. He’s a little timid and has never tried to hurt or attack us. We hatched four chicks this summer and three were roosters so unfortunately we need to find them homes. I’d like to find him a...

+ pretty coloring
+ softer crow
+ gentle
- over mated all the hens last year
- not a great defender of the girls
- feathers on feet...
What breed is the roo and the hen in this video? My friend recorded it in the Caribbean, in sint Maarten. I have no idea what it is, the hen looks red junglefowl-ish.
I have a chick that we're 90% sure is a rooster. I was told to not hold him as much so he stays friendly but I want him to be a show rooster so he needs to be used to being held and touched everywhere. What do I do?
