    Housing breeding pairs?

    Say you have 5 roos & 9 hens. After they’re done with the breeding season (let out of their breeding pens), would you separate roos from hens or keep together? If you’d separate, does there need to be a wall to keep the roos from seeing the hens? I have a 40x20 outdoor space to work with...

    Silkie Hen to Roo Ratio, EEs & Broody Eggs

    Hey there, We're thinking about moving to a new town with no restrictions on owning roosters. Obviously, the first thing I think about is chickens! I love silkies and easter eggers, and while I currently only have 4 silkie hens, I want more! I'd love to get some roosters too. This is where the...

    Rooster separated from hens?

    Hi everyone! So here is my dilemma, I live with my parents while going to college and I have 4 younger siblings all under 8. We used to own a rooster that was friendly enough, but he'd attack the kids when they got close to him which made them never want to go outside when he was around. I...

    Injured Rooster. Separated. Can he go home?

    So, I’m new. I apologize if this is unnecessary or in the wrong spot! I have 5 Roos. Bawk Bawk is my big Australorp and he is the oldest and Alpha, while frostbite during this NNY winter hit my boys hard and I went into the coop to find Bawk Bawk covered in blood and comb tore up! So I’ve...

    I am completely new to chicken keeping, I have 4 hens and two roosters. All my chickens are a little over 5 months old and acting completely normal. Still eating, laying and running around like normal. Over the past few days I noticed one of my roosters developing these scab things on his comb...

    Neighbor’s Chickens

    Over the course of the past 5 months, the neighbor’s roosters have integrated into my own flock. They stopped caring for the boys when their hens died, so I took up to feeding them and they’ve grown comfortable with me. They come over every day and stay until the last few minutes of daylight...

    Need to thin my roosters, but who should stay?!

    I hatched these roosters this spring in a large hatch of a mix of black copper maran, Americauna, black silkie, leghorn and Brahma from hatching eggs I bought from someone else. I’m wanting to keep the roosters that’ll help color up my egg basket! If you have any ideas on who would be best or...

    2 Roosters in Granville, OH

    I have 2 Ameraucana-mixes (I'm not sure what the mother/s was/were as there were several different breeds in the flock) that I'm looking to re-home. They hatched 6/21/2021 and were hand raised, so they have been as decent as a rooster can be with people so far. They are really beautiful birds...

    ASAP - Questions About Early Egg Laying

So far no issues with aggression between the roosters, one rooster is mating with the hens however. My hens are only a little over 15 weeks and I...

    Mildly urgent- one rooster if three is picked on and I’m going away next week

    Hi, hope it’s ok to post here. Have three roosters, silkies (plain silkie, frizzle silkie and showgirl) raised from chicks hoping for at least one hen. I’ve put two up online for new homes, and will get hens for the remaining boy. The one I’m keeping is picked on by the others. I only found out...

    How long should I isolate a breed to make sure their babies are of that kind?

    Hi! I have 2 breeds of chickens: Lavender Orpingtons and Black Marans. They all commingle together as a big family. Each of the breeds have a rooster so I have 2 roosters total. I'd like to know how long do I need to isolate one breed to make sure that the fertile eggs are of that specific...

    Caging the Roosters

    Hello! I have two sets of chickens that I hatched. One batch the end of June and the other in July. I recently separated all the roosters we are going to butcher from the rest of the flock. There are still two roosters with my hens but now they will not free range like they did before. They just...

    2 Roosters in Need of Re-homing

    Hello! So we have 4 roosters, and not enough hens. So as much as it kills me, we're going to have to get rid of 2. They're both good roosters, one is a black Silkie, and is about 24 weeks old, and the other is about a year and a half, and is a Silver Duckwing OEGB. (Both are bantams). Einstein...
