Hi fellow Arizonians,

Thought I would share my new chicks with you all. I ordered from My Pet Chicken (for the second time) and was again pretty impressed with the quality of the chicks - I am new to this so probably wouldn't know anyways

I received 1 Naked Neck, 1 Partridge Penedesenca and 2 Welsummers. All are healthy, my last order with them I had one DOA (a Buff Brahma).

Just having problems with my 3 month old Bantam Cochin Roo, he turned evil overnight! I am covered in scratches, peck marks and bruises... any advice?

My advice is to incubate another batch of eggs instead.

In 13 years you will know it was the right decision!!

Ain't that the truth!

3 months is pretty young to be a meanie already. I would be thinking of culling. Have you done a search on here?? There are almost as many theories on Roosters as there are BYC'ers.

Congratulations on your new chicks!!

I am going to confess and hope nobody is calling the humane society on me... One of my roosters decided to get bossy and challenged me. I kicked him in the chest with the soles of my shoes in a forward-upward motion. This catapulted him 15 feet backwards but did not harm him in any way

. He has been very polite since and does not confront me, only shows me his side or back, never his front. Hope it lasts. He was 20+ weeks old though.

Thanks, yeah I read quite a few things and you are right, sooo many different opinions, I figured 3 months was a little young to be attacking me too!

Haha, a kick to the chest... glad it sorted him out! I did push my roo back with my hand but it just got him even more riled up and he charged, I was suprised at the force. I am going to give him a few months to change his attitude otherwise he will be dinner
