roosters fighting

The big rooster has been away from the flock for 10 days. He was walking wobbly and couldn’t keep balance. Happened practically overnight. Not sure what happened but I was in the hospital for 2 days. Not sure if human caused the injury or he ate something bad. There is a tiny other rooster in...

We finally were able to introduce our two groups of young birds this Easter weekend. But we had a fight! What should we do? We live in Canada and it’s been too cold to build anything outside so we have two brooders separated by glass with chicks quickly outgrowing their space. We’re working on a...

My lead rooster, Silverwings, about 3 or 4 years old, showed signs of leg mites so I isolated him for treatment. I put him in the bachelor pen. This evening my kid accidentally opened a gate, releasing him to the area where the flock, including the (formerly) submissive yearling BJG, George...

Hi! I currently have four roosters and eight hens. Three of the hens are silkies and they are tiny little girls. The roosters seem to become aggressive toward each other and the hens and literally fight over them! Some of my hens have sores on their necks and missing feathers. My silkies get...

First of all, thank you to all who reply. I am fairly new at raising chickens from birth (I purchased my "older" chickens at 6 months old). Anyhow, at the end of January I received a shipment of chicks, which included 7 pullets (various breeds, one Jersey Giant Rooster as well as other white...

Please give me your feedback about your experiences with those beautiful, protective and zany Roosters - having more than 1, adding more, what you've done and how you've managed. Although I've had experience with various birds, I'm fairly new to the Chicken World. I love my Roos dearly, they...
