    coturnix quail: will an older rooster mate younger hens?

    i ask this because i need to cut down on the number of hens i have since i only have the one rooster (1roo - 9hens. fertility has been about 60%.) I KNOW i should have more roosters, but its currently not an option, so some hens have to go into the pot. and it makes sense to butcher the oldest...

    Free Rooster (12 weeks old) - West Palm Beach, FL

    Free rooster to a good home. I have 2 roosters, they grew up together, but they are showing signs of competition and I'd hate to see them fight. Plus, I have 9 hens, therefore, 2 roosters are too much for this small flock. I'm giving one of the roosters away for free, but not to be eaten, only...

    Confused Broody?

    Hiya, This is "little fatty" She's a young Cuckoo Orpington Bantam, and this is her first season of laying. She seems to have got herself into a bit of a pickle, as she's been apparently "broody" for several weeks, but isn't actually sitting on any eggs. She lays in the nest box but doesn't sit...

    Hi. In November we ended up with a flock of ducks that had been dumped off at an Animal Control. They went to a rescue that I volunteer for and since we already had chickens, they came my way. We worked our way through the winter getting to know about ducks and we're thoroughly enjoying the...

    12 week old roosters fighting

    We have 3 12 week old roosters. 1 rooster attacked one of the others twice. Do we separate the attacker? Or do we keep him and find new homes for the other two? Looking for guidance.

    Broken Neck? Sick? Or just retarded?

    My wacko cockerel was "fine" yesterday... but today my sister picked him up and he stretched out his head on her lap and just lay there. He's an active little thing and has never done this before. Never been sick before, still eating/drinking/pooping. Still barely over a month, but his face is...
