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...

I have two roosters and only space for one. I’m leaning toward keeping the OE, but I’m not sure if I’m making the right choice.
Profiles:
BCM:
+ 1.5 years old
+ 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?
I need find a new home for my 1-year-old Black Australorp rooster. He's very good at taking care of his hens. He is great at finding them food and protecting them. The only reason I have to rehome him is I need to downsize my flock due to chronic shoulder/feet problems making it difficult for me...
My rooster has been pretty pitiful for a couple weeks now. Noticed his comb was quite pale, but still eating and drinking fine. Doesn't have as much energy lately. No obvious clues as to what was going on initially, but then discovered a mite infestation. Everyone and everything has been treated...
So I have had the occasional predator come through my electric fence and kill something. The first time it was something that came in and took off the heads of 6 quail. I realized it was because I left a tree standing that was accessible from the other side of the fence. I removed that tree and...
Hi! It's been forever since I've been on here, and I wish the first post back was for fun, but I noticed one of my roosters, Cheeto (a Whiting True Blue, around two if I remember correctly, seems to be an okay weight but he is currently molting) is sick and I know that respiratory things can be...
Hi I bought 2 cuckoo Orpington hens that were sold to me as POL around 5 months of age.
I’m new to chicken ownership and would really love some help.

Hi,
Im a first time chicken owner and one of my flock ended up being a rooster. I live in Scottsdale, which doesn’t permit roosters, so need to rehome him. He was hatched on March 18; and I’ve raised him since March 19th. He is vaccinated for Mareks Disease. I feed him organic Scratch & Peck...
Do dominant roosters suppress other rooster's growth? I debated which category to post this, but landed here. I do apologize if I chose incorrectly. This is DCB. Dirty Cotton Ball. DCB is a now 20 week old splash silkie. At about 12 weeks, DCB grew wattles and a small comb. By 16 weeks (this...
Hello! I have an 8 month rooster who needs a new place to call home. Black Copper Maran, good to hens and people. I really want to keep him, but a neighbor complained about his crowing (which isn't constant). He's in good health--he's alert and becoming a great companion to the hens. Please help...
Hello everyone. I have four roosters that are 4 months old to rehome. We have no room or capacity for more roosters for our hens.
They are hand raised and very friendly. 3 are leghorns and 1 is a Wyandotte chicken. All in great health. I am in Monrovia, MD location. Let me know if you would be...
Hello all,
I have a Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster that I need to rehome. I bought all pullets from Tractor Supply in April and ended up with 1 rooster. He is too noisy for where I am located and we need to find him a new home ASAP.
Hello,
I have two questions. First, I found a pair of game bantams and was wondering if it is alright to keep a male and female together. I knkw generally you want a ratio of one male to a bunch of females depending on breed, but would it be okay to just have one and one?
Also, is there...
My cousin just sent me this of her young rooster. They live in East Texas and he is about 24 weeks if I’m recalling right. They say he is limping and sent me this picture because I’ve had chickens for years. However, i do not have any feather feet breeds. To me it appears an inflamed erupting...
Good morning! I’m a new chicken mom! I got 8 silkies as babies in the Spring. One passed away. That left me 7…..and 2 turned out to be roos. They’ve been getting along fine until my hens started laying. I have Morton (named after Morton Salt because he’s salty) and Benny. Morton is a great...
I have a beautiful rooster that I am just heartbroken over that I have to get rid of. He is a wonderful bird friendly but I don't want my eggs to be fertilized what am I going to do?? Is there anyone in my area, Green, Ohio that is willing to give my Herman a good safe home? I've accidentally...
