rooster

Any ideas? It is a four week old Golden Laced Wyandotte and I thought it was a pullet but now I’m thinking maybe rooster?

Hey everyone. I have a sweet little polish rooster (Named Rod Stewart.) and he is constantly having problems with his head. The hens constantly pick at his sweet little head and i'm not sure what to do to stop it. I bought this chicken lotion that is supposed to taste bad to stop the pecking but...

Hello! I’m new to chickens, and was wondering what this noise my rooster was making? Is he scared of the dog, or is there something else going on?

When we got Batman he was just a little chick. We brought him with his sister which unfortunately passes way and Batman was devastated for a few days and then became a boss. He watches out for the hens and chicks, he crows in the mornings and flaps his wing to "assert dominance".

This is the story of my Barred rock rooster, Rocky. We first got Rocky in 2023 of October, he was a very VERY small chicken, We had 2 ducks (margarito and patitas) before my Uncle just completely purchased 3 barred rock roosters and Brahma hen for some special deal he got (3 chickens get one...

Hi All. First post. Forgive me if i do not incldue all the information. We have 6 Five-Week Old Chicks from TSC. We got them under the guise of Calico Princess Pullets (They were not labeled as straight run). In the first picture you can see the ones that actually are Calico Princess but we got...

This is Bean. Bean is my first rooster, so I’m not really sure what they are like developmentally. I’m just a bit concerned by how he is shaped. He is also extremely heavy compared to all of my other chickens. I know his dad is very big, so I understand that he may just be a very large...

Hello! I have a single bantam rooster. I've had him for 5 years. He was originally with 2 other hens who passed away unfortunately. The last hen passed away about 3 weeks ago. I was scared that my rooster would become lonely, he had started roaming a lot less and eating less. To hopefully solve...

:hmm Hello, I'm new here and have been looking for some help with my new lavender Orpington rooster. He has took a hammering off another rooster and I immediately separated them. I brought him inside and gave him glucose water and cleaned his wounds. My problem is he's raspy when he is...

Hello! I am new here and this is my first question. I purchased 13 chicks and I have 3 roosters among them. One has crowed at 6 weeks, which is very early I might say, and the others have bright red combs . I have been convinced to keep one rooster. What do you recommend I do to remove the...

I just wanted to take a moment to brag on my wonderful rooster, Mr. Wes Anderson. But also I’d like to open this thread to anyone who would like to share a story and pictures of their own wonderful rooster. Wes came to me, along with his 14 Columbian rock bantam siblings, on the morning of...

I've got suburban Los Angeles chickens, so this is another one of those questions that real farm people will probably laugh at. But we have 4 hens and an "accidental" half-bantam rooster that we took a liking to and decided to keep. But out of consideration for our neighbors, I take him out of...

Recently I woke up to clucking and I thought one thing, "That darn hawk!" I put on my shoes and rushed outside, But it was too late, My rooster, Rocky, Killed that hawk. Blood was over the coop, and our ducks and chickens, Especially our duck Abigail were quacking, My rooster stood on the body...

We have a purebred Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Rooster to rehome. He's 9-months old, mild mannered and shows no aggression. He keeps the hens in line and friendly with our children. He free ranges with our hens and sleeps in the coop every night. Free. Located in Basking Ridge, NJ.

Recently my Rooster prevented a hawk attack against my ducks when a hawk landed down and tried attacking them, Unfortunately, that hawk did not take that kindly and came back for round two, This time coming for one of our chickens, It was the same hawk (It has some marks and feathers lose when...

I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

so about a little over two weeks ago, I noticed my rooster limping after two days of him limping on and off I decided to check his feet and his legs and didn’t notice anything. so I originally thought he may have just jumped down and landed wrong but I’ve still been noticing him limping on and...

I’m getting a new rooster for my flock, what I want to know is how long should I wait for the new rooster to have definitively fertilized all the hens, before I try incubating. I currently have a gamefowl rooster as a protector but he recently became aggressive, so we’re rehoming. I definitely...

Hello! So about 8 months ago i bought 2 porcelain d’uccle chicks. They both turned out to be roosters, lol, and i rehomed one. This one, i thought was a hen for the longest time until he started crowing. He only crows once a week or so, but he has the big red comb to prove it’s a boy. I’m...

I bought what was supposed to be BO from TS: then it dawned on my that their wing feathers are black and white. Is this a mix breed or even an Orpington at all?
