Yes it’s a chicken!!! A gorgeous Lavender Orpington cockerel I hatched in November so I really don’t want to off him I’m hoping he’s just feeling his oats and doesn’t do it again lol

I offed my cuckoo Lav Orp. He was tearing up the girls to bad so his head ended up in a feed bag and body went into soup pot. Problem solved

did the attacks just start recently?? my cockerels would only attack me and not dh......I’m starting to think it was my colorful chicken boots and painted toenails.....dh also thought it may have had to do with my ponytail?? have you changed anything like that??

Yeah they only started yesterday and he doesn’t go after my dad. Yesterday I accidentally spooked the chicks and felt him hit my leg/got a tiny scrape. At first I thought it was an attack and gave a little chase. Then later realized no way he would attack me, must have gotten scared and crashed into me on accident. But now I think it was on purpose because today I walked to the coop and he charged me from behind from like 50 feet away. but he didn’t make contact and as soon as I turned around, he took off lol gave him another little chase. I was wearing my purple crocs both times and I’ve been going out there barefoot most of the time lately so that could be? It’s also storming today? But he didn’t charge till I got near the coop and ate out of my hand earlier so I don’t normally feed him like that but did today. Could that do it?

i love my quailies!! i keep around 50 in the aviary and while i’m not getting many eggs atm, my peak last year was 2-3 dozen per day. we typically butcher up to a dozen per month?? so yes definitely worth it

Maybe I’ll give them a go again. What do you figure 2 quail per adult on the dinner table?
should I get a little plucker for the quail? Or do you just skin them?

There have been reports of turkeys attacking specific colors such as reds and blues.

None of my cockerels and roosters even attempt to take me on. But.. I never imprint or play with any of the poultry that I raise.

Funny thing is I didn’t do that either. I read how you weren’t supposed to make pets of them so I barely handled them as chicks and still now. He’s not cuddly or anything and is usually scared of me and runs away when I go near him so

When I think of homegrown I think of stuff like cucumbers not eggs. Just bustin on her that’s all

Mine was great but just to big. Now I am switching over to have FBCM and my current FBCM Roo is great with chicks and he is very easy on the hens.
Seeing how your closer/est to me if you ever want some FBCM just let me know I’ll give them to you. Have stock from 3 different breeders now.

Do you have an incubator?
