    Roosters being weird?

    Hi! We have two younger roosters (5months) who were starting to be aggressive towards the others and fighting. We penned them separately while we built them a bachelor pad. Ever since we put them in their new space they are totally different birds. They are almost…melancholy? They have not...

    I am in the process of planning a "poultry palace" for my chickens and ducks. We have one rooster now, but I want to be open to the possibility of having more than one rooster in the future. (I probably couldn't bring myself to kill any chicks that turned out to be boys.) I was hoping to...

    What should I do for my antisocial roosters? Are there any other types of bird that could provide better enrichment?

    Hello, I’m not sure if this is the right spot for this question but I figured it was my best bet. A while back I bought four straight run bantam chicks at my local feed store (complete impulse buy, they were very cute), and as luck would have it, all four ended up being roosters. I posted...

    Pros and Cons on a Golden Sexlink Rooster?

    I am being given a Golden Sexlink rooster. I currently don’t have a rooster for my flock, but I think one is needed for protection. Research shows they are very gentile and docile. I’m wondering if this is not a good breed for protecting. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Rehome One Rooster or Two?

    We have raised chickens for several years, adding to the flock by buying newly hatched chicks from various sources. We made a decision from the beginning that we didn't want any roosters, and so have only purchased sexed chicks. But, as was bound to happen eventually, our recent batch included...
