    New chicken mom here—I have a beautiful 6 month old frizzled Easter egger rooster. I wasn’t SUPPOSED to have a rooster, but here we are. I am struggling with him, as he is pulling lots of feathers off of my hens’ backs. To be transparent, he does not like my husband ( lol, competition?), but...

    Rooster FREE - Gaston County NC

    We have a rooster that needs a new home. He is not mean at all, in fact our older hens keep him running all day. Our hens are kept in a closed run and we have no desire to raise chicks, so he is really just another mouth to feed for us. We purchased him from TSC back in July so he’s about 6...

    What breed is this rooster?
