Thank you, do the oyster shells really help?aw had that problem with one of my hens until made oyster shells available all the time. although im guessing you might already tried that. goodluck with your flock!
yes it worked out well for me. the polish on my profile laid really thin shelled eggs but after feeding more calcium, oyster shell and egg shells, its now thick. i suggest trying it out so you can hatch out some new chicks .Thank you, do the oyster shells really help?
He is 100% cockerel! Here's a picture of my dark brahma pullet for comparison, she's 11 weeks old. They can be sexed by feather pattern. I have 2 males as well but their combs still aren't as pink at all, I don't even see a difference between the boys and girl comb size or color yet, only the different feather pattern.

Absolutely! Calcium is needed to replace the calcium used up in the production of eggs. On occasion I’ll have a hen have a soft shell. Maybe one day she couldn’t get to the feeder filled with oyster shell.Thank you, do the oyster shells really help?
Hi!hey everyone so im raising 5 chicks and 3 of them turned out to be cocks, 2 campines started crowing and my one brahma started growing a comb somewhat early. They are now 6-8 weeks. well i am thinking of keeping the brahma as my roo as my two campines keep terrorizing the pullets, while the brahma will break up the fights, share his food, and let everyone sleep on him. i am going to get 2 brahma pullets for the roo so he won't go for the smaller hens too much. well not i am wondering how to raise a good roo that won't terrorize the hens.
my old roo terrorised the hens so bad they won't go 6 feet near him and is now terrified of everything that moves. He also turned really mean to people (he was raised as a solo chick and was very attached to humans). he will try to peck humans and do the mating dance for them and will also turn agressive to people. im guessing this is because he is trying to mate with people and trying to put us below him in the pecking order... my roo wouldn't even fertilize the eggs just constantly plucking feathers even when the hen submits. when a hen gets near his food he will chase her away just like a head hen.
Well i wanna raise a gentleman roo now. the chicks i am raising are sweethearts that will perch up on my hand and ask for pets, the brahma roo will not complain too much if i pick him up too, and he likes pets on the chest but im not petting him on the back as im worried he might not like it. How do i keep this rooster in line while he still does his job with the hens?
