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...

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 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! At least this community might appreciate them, we have just brought the first araucana roosters to our little backyard flock. We don't have names for them yet, and the previous owner didn't name them. They were free ranging on 7 hectares, let's hope our 2700 sqm open run and the 15...
