    Reducing numbers...hens and roosters

    I will be posting here and there with some hens and roosters to rehome. Our chicken numbers grew from 12 to more than 200. I can support, care for, and love all of them -- but my pastures are asking for a break to recover. At any time, I have roosters available. Some are young - cockerels...

    Can I keep them?

    I had one hen left so I got a new flock this spring. Four hens and 5 straight run mixed bantams. Out of those 5, four turned out to be roosters. So, now I have 4 roosters (silkies, cochin, and idk) and 5 hens total. I've looked into rehoming the roosters. Every time I get close to finding...

Also a red line developing around their beak where the feathers meet the beak. The other chick has the...

    Couldn't find the exact month i bought our 3 black sexlink and 3 amberlink chicks at a Tractor Supply in spring, but they're all at sexual maturity now, though the hens haven't begun laying yet. However as the chicks matured, 2 began to display every male chicken characteristic, and yet every...

    Roosters in need of a home ASAP

    Help! I’m a novice chicken owner. My knowledge is limited and I don’t own any of my own yet. A group of 8 roosters were abandoned in my neighbor’s yard last week and we don’t know what to do with them. They’re good, but we have a coyote problem and there’s not enough room in their coop for...

    Introducing a rooster to commercial laying hens

    Hello everyone. I have two roosters in my backyard flock and I also have 10 Rhodes island commercial layer hens. My question is, if I introduced the two roosters into my commercial layers coup, will they lay fertile eggs that I can incubate and hatch successfully.

    2 month old roos in AZ

    We had gotten five baby chicks from the local feed store and now that they’re two months old, we’ve found that two of them are roosters and were misgendered. One is a Japanese Bantam and the other is a D’uccle Bantam. They’ve been together since week one and we would prefer it if they were...

    Hens or Roosters?

    I recently bought five, month-and-a-half-old chicks of different breeds. The man told us that they all should be pullets, but he wasn’t sure. There are two golden laced wyandottes, two red laced wyandottes, and I can’t remember what he said the last one was. I raise them as pets, and for the...

    Update On Roosters and Guineas

    It almost seems like Bucky, our biggest rooster, has become the "leader" of the guineas. He will attack Molasses, Lily, and Storm and the entire flock of guineas will join in and beat the poor things until they run away or fly into the trees. Ang and Fire are doing just fine with the guinea...

    Rooster Problems

    So, we have 4 roosters and two hens. The store promised a 96% pullet guarantee, but I guess not. Tractor Supply needs to recheck its numbers. So, I love these boys more than anything in the world. Their names are Molasses, Storm, Bucky, and Lily. All four of them are having some problems...
