    4 month old Sebright Bantam Rooster in need of re-homing

    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.

    Two Roos to Fight?

    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?
