New chicken person here, so I could use some help! I recently rehomed my 3 1/2 month FBCM Marans rooster. In the two days since he’s been gone, my same-aged White legbar rooster has assumed his role as top roo. I only have 7 pullets for him and have no plans on getting more. I have silkies as...

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...

Question- I have had an English Orpington (so big) rooster with a silkie rooster (but a sassy one) and five large hens (eng orps and brahmas) free ranging for 4-5 months now. They’ve been fabulous and we’ve had zero issues. The silkie was about 7 months old when we introduced them and the eng...
What are the must needs for keeping long living healthy pet chickens (15+ years of age) besides a secure cage? Are there any medicines they should have on a regular bases besides just food and water?
Hello, unfortunately our feed store sold us pullets in the spring and it’s looking like two of them are roosters. They’re unwilling to assist and sadly I cannot keep the roosters. Any assistance on finding them a good home located near or around western Pennsylvania would be greatly appreciated!

Hey chicken keeping community!
I am popping on her to ask some advice on my ugly hens...
Lately my flock has been quite raggedy looking, broken feather, missing feathers, dirty feathers; this is mostly just a feather issue.
I have 4 different pens all varying in ages: one maybe 3 years old...
I have only ever kept hens with some roosters here and there but I have been offered a bunch of free male chicks. Currently I have no chickens and have been itching to get back into keeping chickens anyway. Is it possible to keep only roosters? 20 or more say all together with no hens?
How accurate is this? Based on the feather growth I'd say I have 3 hens according to this so if you have any experience with this let me know if you think this image is accurate.

HELP! I know that it’s normal and can happen but we have at least two ladies in our flock the are turning into roosters. We have two full grown roosters that were male to start with and we have at least two recently hatched baby roosters. Is there too much testosterone??? They aren’t older hens...
