Show off your roosters

Small zip ties work great! Come in lots of colors. I use different colors and take pics as they grow, and the colors help me watch certain traits on particular birds. Especially the breeds that look so much alike!

Another thing to try with the one you can't catch is just to walk normally when you are near him. Walk straight at him and make him move for you. Do not move around him. You own him. Not vice versa.

thanks! only problem, i can't find the small zip ties ANYWHERE! not even on amazon.com! any ideas?

I'll make sure to update. Right now I still have them with my grown hens. For they were in a temp coop alone but this week our temps are supposed to be close to 107 degrees. I wanted them to be able to get cool in the big coop. Hopefully it will be cooler next week. My husband and I talked and as soon as they get a little bigger we are going to let the extras free range our property. We have wild guineas in our neighborhood. A whole flock. Nothing bothers them lol. I figure our roosters should be ok in our yard as long as we lock them up at night..

A whole flock of wild guineas running the neighborhood!! How cool is that!

Yeah its funny cause when we first bought our house we thought they belonged to the neighbors but after awhile found out they were wild. They just had babies so it's cute watching them run after their mama..

This guy is my keeper from my spring hatches. He's not the right shade of bright red that I'm hoping for, and he doesn't have muffs; but everything else is exactly what I want. Only 14 weeks old, but his temperament is outstanding with the rest of the flock. His name is Goldilocks...

He looks very nice!
