Hi there, we have a 10-week old Buff Orpington rooster that we need to rehome. We’d like to keep him but unfortunately, Seattle does not allow roosters and he just started crowing a few days ago, and has been consistently around 1pm.
Please let me know if interested.
I have a 4-month old serama rooster who crows for long periods of time throughout the entire day…is this normal? When he crows, his brother crows, but my two Indio gigantes (same age) don’t crow at all. I have 4 hens (8 chickens total) who all get along great, very peaceful. They are free range...
I posted recently about needing to rehome 2 roosters.
Question - I have a hen and a rooster, both 6 months old. They were brooder mates and very bonded. Can I rehome the rooster without her? Will she be heartbroken? Should I try to rehome both together as a bonded pair?
Hello lovely chickie farmers! I am quite baffled and would like to know if anyone heard of this or something similar. My partner and I got a small flock of three Swedish flower chickens (two hens one rooster), mix between Swedish flower and Barred roc, and a Barred roc hen. We finally got...
I have never had a rooster before, but someone in the neighborhood needed to get rid of a little family, hen rooster and 7 chicks ask bantam, so now I have a little rooster. They haven’t figured out to go in the coop yet, preferring a rung in the enclosed yard, but look at how he covers the...
Hi everyone!
I need find a new home for my 1-year-old Black Australorp rooster. He is hand raised and used to being handled if needed. He's very good at protecting his girls. I've had great success with him. The only reason I have to rehome him is I need to downsize my flock due to chronic...
Hello everyone,
So I'm looking for some advice about how I should house my rooster. Currently we have 1 rooster and 10 hens.He's a Ayam Cemani. He was one of 4 cemani we bought and I'm not 100% sure what the best way to keep him is. I've read lots of information, and I've seen some articles...

I am looking for a home for two silkie roosters. They were supposed to be sexed Olive Eggers! They are about 4 months old and, as of right now, get along famously.
One of them is a solid guy, hefty and majestic. The other, that I was...
I am looking to rehome my sweet boy. Unfortunately, I cannot have roosters in my neighborhood. He is 17weeks old. Very calm and sweet. I live in New Braunfels, Tx and am hoping to find someone kind of close.
Our little cockerel’s poop looks like this, it looks mousse-like, airy and light almost and this light brown/yellowish color. concerning? I looked at the chicken chick poop article but I can’t decide if it’s cecal or could be worms/infection. it’s also really hot so he’s drinking lots of water...
Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...
Hello. I am having trouble finding a good soy free, corn free all Flock feed that is safe for roosters. We have two flocks and one rooster with each flock. We do have our hens on a soy, corn free layer feed but we need a good and healthy soy, corn free feed that is safe for roosters too. The...
Hello, I'm just wondering if I should evict my rooster from the coop? He's 1 year old this July and so are the three hens that he lives with. He's always grumpy with me and does that side-step at me when I bring fresh water and food into the coop each day. Sometimes I have to hold up the empty...
Hi there,
We have a 10.5 week old chicken that is so pretty, I am hoping it's a hen. (Our neighbors turned us in for our roosters a few months ago, so we hatched out a batch to keep some of their babies.)
The bird in question is a Brahma/Production Blue (black austrolorpe/RIR mix). We are HOPING...
Hello I am in need of help as soon as I can get it!
My favorite Rooster Zelda, (<--it's a long story) has a history of getting respiratory diseases in the past but recently despite giving him respiratory meds often his mouth still hangs open. I have checked the inside of his mouth and there are...
Hello,
We recently took in a 6 month old Housman rooster maybe 2-3 weeks ago and he has it out for our legs. He will attack and peck our toes and legs like they are personally offending him. The weird thing is, if I squat down or sit on the ground he will graze and hang out like we are buddies...
