Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

@Shadrach not sure this is to your taste, but since you like tunes, here's a favorite of mine from Russia -- an underground bluesy rock version of "California Dreamin'" (originally by the Mamas and Papas) by Mumimy Troll (Anglified spelling). Hope you enjoy.

It is so sad how hens often die fairly young from reproductive system issues and infections. But if Skeksis was a rooster, it's very likely your relationship would have been very different as well.

Yes, roosters require a bit more work than hens.

Does this thing count as a rooster? Can I join the rooster club now? It crows. It also poops every time it is brought inside.

Here's my "aggressive" rooster, don't tell anyone about him

Rodney isn't even outright aggressive, 90% of days I can walk around the paddock and do evening lock up/ feeding without incident. I just need to be aware of where he is, what I'm doing, and how he's behaving. Whenever he is out ranging and not in a pen I am extremely cautious about who is allowed to enter the paddock, I'm ok with possibly being hurt but am not going to allow some else to be and never a child!

I may come back to this. There is an interesting debate to be had on the topic.

how lovely! And how nice to see them all roosting together for a sleepover

There has been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line...
No visiting chickens sleep over.

Nooooo, I rather think not. Thanks for the thought anyway.

That if I am not mistaken is a hen.
