young rooster

I have Cockerels/Roosters that have a darkened comb. When I go to feed in the mornings there are three with larger combs that are a little dark. One (the oldest by a month or two) has been having this issue for a few weeks or so and the other two I noticed for the first time this morning. There...

Good Afternoon 🐓 One of the 4 chicks we purchased from a farm store June 18th turned out to be a roo so, we need to re-home him since we live inside City limits (roosters are not allowed). We call him "Glen", he's a bit over 2 months old, and is a Sapphire Blue (Gem) Plymouth Rock. Glen is...

I have a 12 day old chick who i’ve been kind of suspecting is a rooster based on his behavior. But of course, only time will tell. Today, I heard a weird noise coming from the brooder, so I went to check it out because it sounded like maybe a chick was getting pecked? But once I got over...

My rooster Bateh has something wrong with his eyes. I don't know when it happened but he has foamy eyes and discharge from them. I haven't visited him for a while so I don't know how he's been acting, but I need help. He keeps closing his eyes and they're really watery. His foot also looks...

Hi! I wonder if anyone could give me advise here... We recently rescued a young cockerel who was unwanted and going to be killed. He joined the flock (6 hens) one week ago. They won't stop bullying him, won't let him near food/water unless I stand in the pen, feather pulling etc. I have...

Someone dropped three very feral roosters off at the end of my road. Animal control was able to catch two and take them to a no kill shelter, for three weeks no one was able to catch the remaining rooster. Today, I finally caught him. He is very scared and doesn’t want to be around humans but I...

He hasn't started crowning

Hello, I have a 4 month old bantam frizzle Cochin rooster mixed with my flock of 11 4-5 month old chickens and one other rooster that is extremely docile (standard breed size). Now the bantam bites the hens in the neck and tail area. My mother in law wants me to get rid of it but they’re my...

So my nubby little girl is looking more and more like a little boy every day. I'm about 90% sure this one is going to crow. Notice the reddening of the crown, the wattle development, pointy wing feathers, and undefined tail feathers which seem to curl downward. All the signs of a cockrell. Such...

hello! I have a 13 to 14 week old rooster (barred rock) who lost his left eye due to an infection. (We went to a vet and he was on antibiotics, drops and oral for around 20 days .We kept him separated from the rest of the flock.) The infection is gone but his left eye is gone. I am beginning to...

A few months ago I got a three month old Rhode Island Red rooster, we named him Reggie. He isn't human aggressive and is gentle with the girls. He is around the six month mark now, he hasn't crowed yet, however he does quite frequently mount any hens lower in the pecking order then him. Recently...

Alright so this is def not my first time raising and caring for chicks. I ended up getting some chicks from tractor supply this year because the last batch of chicks i incubated destroyed the poor thing so now i cant hatch out eggs anymore. So i had picked up six chicks and one of them was a...

Hey all! So my lastest batch of chicks turned out to be almost all male! Besides this they are still coming along well. I already had 3 roosters and now have another 3 young roosters who are starting to mature. One of them recently started crowing! Super cute! They are all still coming along...

My young Polish rooster, he's about 5 months old, is starting to get pretty rude toward my other birds. He acts out against my polish hen, my brahma hens, my little Cochin hen and my sebright hen. He's a sweet, but skittish bird with me, and I really don't want to get rid of him, but if he hurts...

Out of the four baby chick we got in mid February, one has turned out to be a rooster. Unfortunately we cannot introduce him into our current brood and are actively searching for a new home for him. We are located in Evergreen CO and are willing to meet up.
