We bought four “hens”s this spring. Come to find out one is a rooster. We are not allowed to have roosters in the city limits and would love to find someone who needs a rooster. He is 4-5 months old, healthy, Columbian Wyandotte. We are located in the Denver metro are.
a couple months ago my mom got chickens. i was initially supportive of this and encouraged the purchase at the start. i liked feeding them when they were chicks, and when they were growing up. i also always liked taking walks in our backyard, but a couple days ago on the way to one of my walks...
My rooster broke his spur off recently and I didn't notice until he had already dirtied it up a bit!! He's not bleeding anymore but it seems like some dirt dried into his blood. What should I do? For now I'm going to give his feet a soak in warm water(I'm unsure if I should add Epsom salt since...
These are my barred rock chickens. They are about 13 weeks old. I’m beginning to think they are roosters now because of the shiny feathers and green ones starting on tails.
My wife and I are moving, and unfortunately our rooster can't come with us. We have already found homes for our hens, and we are still looking for a home for our rooster. He is a white silkie, not aggressive and easy with our hens. Can deliver in the Forks, WA region.
Okay so A lot y'all helped me with my favorite chicken but I have these other 6. I need to try and decide because next week the roosters have to go. Sorry the SLW hate me and scatter when I'm around. I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 are roos and have no idea with the others.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I live in Bakersfield and have 2 boys that have started crowing. Master Cheif is an Easter Egger and Eggroll is a Hamburg. I would love to trade them for a hen and/or assurance that they will not become chicken nuggets. They're around 2...
Hi! My rooster injured his toe about two weeks ago, not sure how he did it but I’m guessing it was hardware cloth that cut it. I’ve been wrapping it daily, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, drying then spraying a healing aid for chickens on it. It now looks like this and I’m not sure if this is...
Hi everyone,
This is my first post, however I'm a long time lurker! I've only been keeping chickens for a year or so and could really do with some help identifying the breed and gender of these two!
Hatched mid January from dark dark eggs.
They were in a mixed batch and I've not a clue what...
Hello,
my rooster that I hatched myself has been exceedingly aggressive, including hurting my hens during mating, to the point that their backs have a little to no feathers. Also, when letting him out of the coop to free range for a bit, he has been aggressive to me and family members. Some...
Im probing if anyone will want him before i move forward. I have a bantam rooster who I like more, and have decided it may be necessary to get him re-homed.. I'd like him to go somewhere where he WON'T be processed, and even possibly trade him for a hen who someone needs to rehome. what is done...
My rooster, Ted, is coming up on 6 years old now. He’s survived many attacks from animals but unfortunately been dealing with bumble foot and scaly leg mites for 2 years. Me and my mom tried treating him, currently we have been treating him for about 3 months almost every day. This included...
Please help - my barred rock rooster, Tucker, has been out of sorts for the last couple days. Today I found him lying in the shade of birds' water structure. His balance is a little off, he has no energy, he's not eating or drinking much, and he is dragging his wings. I have him inside, and have...
The time has come - we finally have a cockerel! My sweet baby (used to be called Mama's Girl) finally tested out his crow yesterday. He's a sweet boy, and I want to make sure he stays that way.
I've been trying to research, and I've seen the same info circulating. So I wanted to reach out and...
This is a fun story that happened last week
A few months ago I bought some seramas there were supposed to be one rooster and three hens, but it was the other way around three roosters and one hen.
So the oldest one that was 100% a rooster I named him Ajax, he’s vary silly and runs across the...
