Haha, yeah, my roo does the same thing, just stands there watching me all day. I've caught him on girls while watching from a second story window but never while I was outside with them. He must be doing something right though... he's the father of baby chicks!

If she laid 1 egg, I can also assure you she's not a rooster!

She's at that age for sure, give her a couple of weeks to get it right.

Remember, she's not on your schedule!

I guess, but ya know how it is. My rooster is very polite when I'm outside, he'll come up to me and eat the treats I give them. Oh yeah, will giving them to many treats keep them from laying?

 

[rooster-red]

No, treats won't stop laying.

Be glad your roo isn't one of the nasty tempered ones.

Oh trust me I am. My cousin had two very mean little white roosters that would attack you for no reason. I finally had to start taking a stick with me, I know it sounds awful to hit them but I couldn't just let that go on forever. Anyways those roos are dead(something ate one of em and the other one just died).But your right I'm glad my roo is a sweetheart and not a demon.

P.S my cous named her white roos satin and Lucifer, that's how mean they were.

 

[rooster-red]

I would have named them stew & roast.

 

[peeps7]

LOL!

That is hilarious. I told my cousin that she needed to get rid of them but the whole time she kept saying "their not mean". Finally she realized that they were mean and I hated them. But I will let you guys know when my hen is finished taking her time.

 

[peeps7]

I was just wondering, you guys said that a roo has nothing to do with egg laying but if he fertilizes the hen doesn't she have to lay?

 

[rooster-red]

Nope.

 

[peeps7]

Wow that is very strange. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Chickens are addictive yet so grrr! I love my chickens and can't wait for them to start laying big time.
