I’m getting 2 female African goslings in 2 weeks
I had a huge flock of roosters for a while and they only respected me because I was the only one that would stand up to them. My grandma ( only 60) took care of my boys while I was gone for a few weeks and my best...
mean roos are scary. I start shaking when I am about to go deal with a new mean rooster.. I just got a new one last week and he scares the crap out of me I dressed up in "battle gear"(2 pairs of pants, dish towels and ace wraps around the top of my rain boots,2 sweatshirts, a leather duster and...
Well you might not be armed but your legged
You have to watch his body language. He will start pecking at the ground like he’s not paying attention to you and he might move sideways at you slowly before he attacks but he is trying to catch you off guard that’s his goal. Just don’t turn your...
I know your a long ways away from me but if we can figure out a way I can take him if your scared of him. I run a rooster rescue and I am used to dealing with mean roosters and I can usually train the mean out of them. maybe not completely but enough that he wont attack often.
I have been having problems with predators a week before the massacre my hen that I got with my LA roo was attacked by a hawk but she somehow lived even tho she had a huge deep 3 inch gash on her back hip and tons of deep 1 and 2 inch gashes on her back and puncture marks on her ears and face...
well it sounds like racoons are becoming more ballsey because my grandparents have never heard of a racoon attacking in the day and y neighbor saw one about 5 miles from me in brod daylight too
maybe the racoons know the end of the world is coming so they are trying to warn us XDXDXD
I have close-ish neighbors on either side and forest in the back. I will set up a camera I think. We do have some dogs that get loose in town and run through that forest. The neighbors’ dogs are tiny, & old & slow. I can’t see them doing this kind of damage.
I can understand how a coon could...
the one I couldn't find the body of was a HUGE Lavender Americana rooster that probably 10-15 lbs and really protective. how he got killed is way past my expertise
I know it was a raccon because there were little raccoon hand prints next to the trail of his feathers raccoons are very strong...
im sorry for your losses, I just had a coon come in and kill 5 in BROD DAYLIGHT it took one ate half of one and the other 3 didn't have any wounds on them that I could see
one of the 3 I did an "autopsy" and found that she had a shattered femur a huge puncture wound that went probably a half...
I know this post was a long time ago but when my babys refuse to stay in their pen I clip one wing back and that slows them down
if you put them on their back in your lap and spread one of their wings there will be a row of smaller feathers close to the base of the big flying feathers I clip...
I run a Rooster Rescue in Boring, Oregon. I have a ton of different boys to pick from I currently have 2 selkie boys and I have 3 or 4 coming in the next couple weeks
I run a Rooster rescue(I take hens too and chicks) in Boring Oregon
I don't know where you are located but if you can figure out how to get them to my rescue I would gladly take them. I can send you pictures of my property and all my birds if you would like. I take very good care of my birds...
I need to build an aviary soon for my doves and pheasants that I have rescued and my bantams. I am having a hard time with predators. A raccoon came in the middle of the day and took 5 of my chickens including the first chicken I ever got yesterday. And last week I almost lost my hen that I got...
