I’m new to BYC and glad there’s a community like this out there! I’ve already read lots of things on his forum and figured I’d join myself.

I got 8 olive egger pullets back in April. Sadly, two of them were killed by a crazy little dachshund. But I still have 6, and they have just started laying!! Their eggs are little, and two of them were double-tolled the other day which shocked me. A few month or so ago I was shocked to hear crowing outside and realized one of my she’s was a he. I had already named “her” Matilda, but now he’s Matthew the rooster.

I love my beautiful birds. My son says “Matthew!” or “rooster!” when he hears him crowing, which to my surprise, is ALL DAY LONG!!! Thankfully my neighbors don’t mind. We told them we were certainly not getting a rooster...oops!

Matthew is getting aggressive, and my first post was a question about how to deal with him without eating him or giving him away!

So anyway, that’s my story!
 
Hi and welcome to BYC

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive. I’m fairly sure there will be a thread on what to do with aggressive roosters.


This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/website-announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3/?prefix_id=3
