    What to do with my who*e of a rooster

    I have an ameraucana roo who’s just about a year old. I hate him, I want to cull him. But, my husband loves him and doesn’t want me to. He’s super friendly and follows him around when he goes in there. But, all I see him do (I spend more time with them) is over breed all of my birds. Nobody’s...

    Boys need a new home

    I have two beautiful pekin ducks that just lost their loves - needing a new home. I also have a rooster - who does the job - but has now targeted my youngest daughter. She won’t even want to interact with him and he will go after her. Going outside is scary for her - he needs to go.

    Changing Roosters / Genetic Diversity in Closed Flock

    So for going on two years I have kept a closed flock. My decision was in part due to the fact that my first set of birds had some disease that eventually wiped out everyone by year two with my rooster being the only exception. So I restocked from a more reputable hatchery (Mt Healthy) and had...

    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    Can you help me ID my roo?

    I’m just super curious … This is Mean Bean, he is 1 yr and 4 months old (I’ve had him since he was 2 days old). I was told by the local farmer where I adopted him from that his clutch was Novogens. Obviously a barnyard mix 😬 And yes, there were other breeds running around at the farm but none...

    Rooster aggression questions

    Hi all I’ve had my rooster for about 6 months now and raised him from an egg and have always brought him inside, pet him, held him, and he never fussed. But recently he pecked me for the very first time and has been asserting dominance on me, like running at me and flapping his wings. I am...

    Abanded Rooster

    Hello. I live in central IN and someone abandoned a Rooster at my house the other day. I have called every agency I can think of to get it rehomed as I am not equipped for chickens. Does anyone know who to contact to get it rehomed?

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂

    Rooster acting strangely after predator attack

    3 weeks ago my 2 yo rooster was attacked by a skunk which also killed a hen. Most of his injuries were to the face but have been healing well. Since then he’s been eating like it’s going out of style and doesn’t crow anymore. I don’t know what to think. Could his voice box have been injured or...
