    Coming soon... to my house!

    Building my dream chicken coop. And although it’s a crappy time to build with lumber prices being so high, I’m rather excited for the finished product. Stay tuned. I will post pictures as I go along. Some may say the finished product is over the top. If you’re one of those people, move along...

    Food for Flock

    As I am starting my own flock, we had added Cockerels. We know the hens NEED calcium, so we provide them with Layer feed and offer Oyster Shells in a dish 24/7 access, BUT now that we have Roosters, what do we feed the whole flock? We have Layer Feed, Scratch Grains, and Oyster Shells. Do we...

    Rooster Advice - Rooster injuring hens

    I've got a rooster (almost 1 year old) that's overly enthusiastic with his mating and based on the location of the injuries to the hens he's gouging them with his spurs, either because they're trying to get away from him or he's just clumsy. In any event, I'm getting too many injuries too...

    My roosters got in a fight- PLEASE HELP

    I have two roos. We are breeding one. I know that they can never go in the same pen again so one is with the hens and the other is usually free ranging. The free ranging one got into the coop and the roos started fighting. There was a lot of blood. One is panting really hard and won't calm down...

    How to protect hen’s head during mating

    I have one macho rooster and a couple little bantam roosters that have all but plucked all the feathers from the back of my hens’ heads when they’ve mated. It doesn’t seem to bother the girls and they’re not being pecked at by other hens, so should I just let it be? Is there something I can do...

    No more eggs

    Hello! I have a flock of about 12 girls. A couple Roos. I typically get between 9-12 eggs a day. But the last three days I’ve only gotten one egg. Is this normal? I know it’s normal to not get as many, but will some of them just stop playing completely In the winter? Or do I need to check them...

    My MPC Hen is a Roo

    Welp, I bought all ladies and sure enough the EE is a roo. He’s only 6 weeks right now but it’s pretty clear by his feathering/coloration and bright comb she’s a he. Is anyone in Texas looking for a EE roo. He looks like he’s going to be beautiful! He has a great temperament thus far as d let’s...

    Maran Roosters and others for free!

They're about 6 months old. 3 Marans but 2 are beautiful breeds I'm not 100% sure of. Both hatched from...

    Rooster aggression

    So we have 14 chickens and ended up with 2 roosters (roos hatched on 7/1 so they are about 4.5 months right now). So far both of our roosters are very nice to people (they don’t necessarily want to be “cuddled” but they let us pick them up and love coming in every day for their grapes 😂. I am...

    What's the Optimum Happy Flock Size?

    If space isn't an issue (i.e. lots of acreage), how many chickens make a happy flock? I'm not looking for a minimum or a maximum, but rather what is the optimum or sweet spot? I'd like to buy some acreage to plant a food forest. To build up the soil and generate income while I wait for the...

    How many roosters are too many?

    I have a flock of 12 laying hens and 5 pullets, 1 mature rooster and 4 cockerels. The young ones are 20 weeks old and should soon start reaching maturity. I would like to keep all of the roosters since they free range most of the time but due to local ordinances, all chickens must be held...

    Rooster Conundrum

    Hi All, I have a conundrum. I started a meat flock last spring with 5 hens and a rooster. They are Rangers that I held out from a batch I got in the spring. My goal is to have a self-sustaining meat flock. Everything is going fine, except for the rooster. I've never had a rooster that crows...

    Hi everyone, I’m new here to the chicken community. We’ve raised 5 silkies and a couple of others breeds since we got them the end of May and somehow all 5 of our silkies ended up being males. We can’t have roosters in our town and they are starting to crow now. Is anyone out there able to take...

    Roos saved the hens from hawk!!!

    I'm so proud of my two roosters, Peter (silkie cock) and Picket (silkie-OEGB mix cockerel)! I thought I'd make this thread to share their story! Yesterday in the late morning, I looked at my window and saw...a chicken flying (in my defense, it looked like my EE hen! :lol: )! Then the...
