No we live in the sticks and many people have chickens and other animals , but I don’t want any fertilized eggs and I don’t want to annoy any neighbors. If he’s a quiet boy he may be able to stay. I don’t really want to give any of them up.
No what are those? I’m a total newbee! Thanks for your help!
The pointy feathers that are growing near his tail are saddle feathers. As a general rule, roosters will have pointy saddle feathers, while hens have more blunted/rounded ones. Your guy has super cool coloring, he almost looks like 2-3 chickens in one!
Oh wow! Thanks for showing me this. I do see the difference. Yeah he’s super cool looking and he’s actually the one I REALLY wanted when i saw him as a day old chick. I made the lady chase him down because he was so pretty even as a new chicky.
YES! A dying cat! It was a weird bellow sound!
Ha that's what I thought mine sounded like. As for the fertilized eggs, just pull them and put them in the fridge. Nothing will hatch unless you let the hens sit on them. My rooster didn't change any of my plans.... just that I'm an egg a day shorter than I wanted to be. Lol
Ok good to know ! Thanks ! You’re helping his chances of be able to stay
