Im probing if anyone will want him before i move forward. I have a bantam rooster who I like more, and have decided it may be necessary to get him re-homed.. I'd like him to go somewhere where he WON'T be processed, and even possibly trade him for a hen who someone needs to rehome. what is done...
My rooster, Ted, is coming up on 6 years old now. He’s survived many attacks from animals but unfortunately been dealing with bumble foot and scaly leg mites for 2 years. Me and my mom tried treating him, currently we have been treating him for about 3 months almost every day. This included...
Please help - my barred rock rooster, Tucker, has been out of sorts for the last couple days. Today I found him lying in the shade of birds' water structure. His balance is a little off, he has no energy, he's not eating or drinking much, and he is dragging his wings. I have him inside, and have...
The time has come - we finally have a cockerel! My sweet baby (used to be called Mama's Girl) finally tested out his crow yesterday. He's a sweet boy, and I want to make sure he stays that way.
I've been trying to research, and I've seen the same info circulating. So I wanted to reach out and...
This is a fun story that happened last week
A few months ago I bought some seramas there were supposed to be one rooster and three hens, but it was the other way around three roosters and one hen.
So the oldest one that was 100% a rooster I named him Ajax, he’s vary silly and runs across the...
I bought straight run polish and Houdan chickens and I’m pretty sure they are all girls besides my golden laced polish.? Am I correct… He at the bottom of the totem pole(hence his missing feathers) I also think my ameraucana might be a Male and not a hen.
Mottled houdan-10 weeks
White crested...
Of the 8 chicks we picked up, 2 of them are Rustic Rocks. I was told these are one of the easiest to tell if they are male or female when hatched, like a 2% possibility of being incorrect. I'm 90% sure one of them is a cockerel (5 weeks old). What do we do if it is and do not want it waking all...
So this is my 5 week old barred rock cockerel, he has a little spot of reddish brown feathers around his eye. Is this normal, something that goes away with age?? You can see it in the photo below
Hi all - any guesses at gender on these two. Not entirely sure how old. I think the calico bantam is around 6-7 weeks and I think the blue standard Cochin is maybe 7 weeks. TIA
Hello, it's my third time posting this so I'll shorten it.
My girlfriend and I have been trying to move a while and have been looking for a home for our roos for months across Facebook, craigslist, sanctuaries, rescues, farms etc. We have to get out of our current house within the next week so...
We currently only have one hen and one rooster (slowly lost the rest of the flock over time and lost our 1 of 2 hens yesterday). Our only remaining hen is broody and sitting on eggs that we plan to have her hatch. In the meantime, my rooster is alone. Do i need to get more hens for him or will...
This is my rooster i hatched out about 8 months ago. He is bantam cochin mix. I'm not sure who his mom was. I think he turned out pretty. I love the black with the copper color around his neck. Hes also so sweet and gentle with his ladies and attentive to them. Hes also very sweet to me, hes...
I am told my Gold Star Sexlink “Hen” is a rooster, and unfortunately, due to city regulations I cannot keep him. He is well mannered and can be easily picked up. Fed organic Scratch & Peck Mash. I would keep him if I could and am sad to have to get rid of him. He is not vocal yet, but I need to...
Hey, hey! Remember me? We started to build a chicken coop and it never got finished….. until now. 3 years, a baby, many weddings and funerals, and a whole lot of chaos later, my coop is finally done! The only thing left is filling in the dirt around the edge of the run and extending the skirting...
