Hi all!
My 9 month old rooster is showing signs of aggression towards me. It’ll be sudden or when I have my back turned. He has 6 ladies that he’s a total gentleman for. I have more younger chicks in the nursery still and aren’t ready to be introduced. He is a Rhode Island/ Buff Orpington mix...
I'm planning for next spring already because I am impatient and like to get all my ducks (chicks?) in a row before I do anything. Currently doing some looking around on where to source some nice brahma hatching eggs and/or chicks.
Some backstory. I have a medium mixed breed flock of 49 (working...
I have 2 boys that are 4 months old. They are Japanese silkies about 4 months old. Clumsy and goofy like babies, but crows like an old ford truck and is starting to mature. I took them in from a farm where its illegal to have roosters. I thought theyd be ok with me in the meantime but they went...
There is a real need for surplus rooster butchering in my area. The city limits allow hens and I was thinking about offering to butcher unwanted roosters for those who ended up with roosters from their spring chicks. I'm in the county and breed my own so I also have some extras so I'd be doing...
Hello!! We have been raising these chicks and they are now a few months old. I am very new to chickens and our two golden ones got bullied and had to be removed into a different coop a while back. Now wondering if our one coop is all roosters and the two are girls? Could someone help? Thank you!
I have two 9 week old roosters/cockerels in need of new homes. Purebred gold laced polish and purebred lavender orpington purchased from a local breeder. I adore them both but have too many roos.
We have 3 roosters needing a home as we are within city limits and can’t have them. They were hatched around 3/15/2025. I don’t know the breeds but they are beautiful! We’re located in Colorado Springs.
Hi! New to the forum! Soooo we have 20 young chickens of all different breeds from tractor supply. 8 of them ended up being roosters and we just won’t be able to keep all of them since we have very close neighbors 😬 Anyone in or near Northport, Al that would be interested in giving them a good...
I need to re-home my Sebright Bantam Rooster. He is so beautiful and super sweet but he is attacking my ducklings that share the coop with my hens. I’m hoping someone can give him a good home and love him as much as I do.
Hello, my girlfriend and I have kept chickens for quite a while, but I'm a federal worker and now that I am back in the office full time we are looking to move closer to my work but are unable to do anything until we can find a home for our roosters. We have already found good homes for our hens...
Situated in Huddersfield UK, as you can see they are pretty friendly and warm up to you fast if you spend time with them!
Rehoming as we’re downsizing flock after our goose hatched some goslings - it’s been pretty easy to rehome chickens on Facebook but nobody wants to take cockerels 🥲 and I...
My name is Holly Campbell. I live in Starkville, Mississippi. We have 6 8 week old backyard chickens. 3 speckled Sussex and 3 barnevelders. We suspect we have 2 barnvelder roosters. Anyone interested? Adding pics of my setup and a few of my chickens. Can add pics of the roosters when I get a...
I have at least three 6(ish) week olds that are clearly roosters. How long should I wait before moving them to my bachelor pad? Said bachelor pad only has one rooster currently. When I do move them, how do you introduce young roosters to a year old rooster who has been on his own for several...
Hi yall!
I was hoping I could get some help on picking out some different rooster breeds to choose from!
to make a long story short my very Alpha-Big-Boss Barred Rock Rooster, Doc, lost his brood-mate, Hermes. Hermes was a Welsummer rooster who was a little flighty and wasn’t super interested...
To give context, this morning all the hens and roosters were perfectly fine (as far as I could tell) and I hadn't noticed anything up until today either (I check them over daily).
However, I went out this afternoon to find one of my broody hens laying on the floor of the coop. I didn't think to...
Hello! I have two confirmed roosters in a flock of 31 five-week-old birds. I was told that two roosters will fight until they kill each other so you needed one or three, is this true? Would the size of the flock make it okay to keep two? The flock will be housed in a large coop with a large run...
Hi everyone,
My fiancé and I will be receiving 3 cockerels as Emotional Support Animals. For a few months they were kept in a coop with their father, hens, and 2 ducks. For the last month they have been kept in their own coop without any complications.
So, I am here as a new parent of...
I have a RIR Jersey Giant and a Barred Rock x Jersey Giant. and since it's been so cold their combs are frostbitten, the combs look kinda yellow and black in some spots. what should I do? and how do I prevent it?
