    Roosters touching each other's beaks

    I have caught my roosters doing this a few times. They put their beaks together and stand there for over 5 minutes. They don't make noise or show any aggression. It is winter in Michigan so I'm not sure if they are cold? Bonding? Sleeping? Has anyone seen this?

    Clean Chickens vs. Dirty Roosters??

    Hi! Still learning the ropes here so forgive what might be kind of a stupid observation and question. I welcome your thoughts! In my limited experience, chickens are normally pretty clean. I know they have feather dander, take dirt baths, and poop everywhere (and step in it a lot, eww), but...

    Roosters

    (I didn't know what forum to use for this, sorry if it doesn't fit with 'managing your flock') Is it okay to have only roosters in a flock? We've been getting alot of males recently, and I really don't want to rehome them since I get attached way to easily to these babies. So I was wondering if...

    Non Emergency. Please can someone clear up HOW a rooster crows?

    Hi all. I am trying to understand how exactly a rooster crows but I’m running into contradictions. … an intake of breath fills the air sac above the crop, this breath is used to crow, the more breath, the louder the crow? I have no idea if the above is correct, but I do not believe this is...

    2 roosters need home, 7-8 weeks of age

    I have 2 white roosters with pea combs needing to be rehomed to a good home or farm. They are beautiful and sweeties. They come from a small farm, not a hatchery. They are not vaccinated, and have been fed non-gmo, non-medicated feed since received in the mail.

    To Roo or not to Roo?

    So we ordered 10 Australorp chickens and they all turned out to be pullets. With a potential food shortage coming we don’t like the idea of not having a rooster so we could grow our flock if needed. However we also have young children (7 months old and 4 years old). We learned we can order...
