I thank you so much Mrs K. What should I do when he behaves this way? shoo him away? Also, Hes young and has crazy energy and chases the 4 girls all around and mounts them. I usually break it up and pen him when he does this. Is this wrong? Thank you. Is it realistic to keep him see but no touch...
My 13 week old male Americana has a specific behavior that just started today. He will kinda run along side of me, and then do a behavior I gather is wanting to fight; getting in front of me and sideways; a little 'I wanna get you' stance. He pecked my foot when I let him out to freerange today...
Thank you for all your help everyone. I want him to thrive. Im on my way outside to let him go roost with his flock. I pen him during the second half of evening free range because thats a time i notice he becomes a little unbearable. I'll go let him up the ramp now that the girls are roosted...
i have no experience with roosters so his behavior now, is a freshie. I dont know if it will continue? I moved him and 2 brood mates into a coop with 2 hens that are 3years. One is a bit disabled and I fear will be unable to ward him off. The other 3 yr old is the sweetest Sussex ever. He...
Hello, is anyone interested in taking my 12 week old Americana roo?
Purchased at Lock Stock and barrel in CT. Vaccinated, unmedicated, non gmo feed, healthy, ready to be delivered. I purchased 3 female chicks and he is here. Thank you

He has 2 girls his age brooded together. The 3 moved in with 2 3yr old hens. One cant hold her own well against him...... i have a pen within their coop.....has everything....temped to keep him in there away from the girls until free range. can this work?
Listen, I havnt said anything about these 5 Wyanottes, but they are MONSTERS. They attack together and tag team and are amazing. I keep them away. They have got to him a couple times and set him straight with me there for a count of 3-2-1 before i broke it up, but the 5 GLWs avoid him or at...
Hello, I have added three 12wk olds to a flock of two, 3yr old hens. One of the 12 week olds is a male. one of the two 3yr olds is a bit disabled. Today the male and her fought. jumping, kicking, biting, the whole thing. she cant defend herself too well so hes singling her out. I have a very...
