One of our hens, who seems to be a favorite of his, has a bald spot on the back of her neck we are almost certain is from him. There doesn't appear to be...

    I've posted my chickens before to see if anyone thinks I have a rooster. I think one of my light brahma ( 3rd and 4th pics) is a rooster. I'm unsure of my other brahma which is the last two photos

    🌙 Possum Drama at 4AM – Meet Ray Ray

    So here’s how my early morning started... Around 4AM, my rooster loses his mind, crowing like the world’s ending. Then I hear my 6-week-old goose honking like it’s being chased by a ghost, Ducks quacking, chickens flapping — the whole farm is losing its feathery mind. So of course, I fly out...

    Rooster is bleeding and has black parts on the comb

    We're in the process of adding birds to the flock. We have an old rooster and hen, plus two we added almost a year ago, and then we just added 6 more, who are just starting to lay.

    I know, another rooster question thread. I've read a few of the others posted and have determined it mostly comes down to preference and rooster personality. I'm hoping, though, that by posting my specific question I may get more specific opinions. This is my first backyard flock. I have a...

    What to do with my who*e of a rooster

    I have an ameraucana roo who’s just about a year old. I hate him, I want to cull him. But, my husband loves him and doesn’t want me to. He’s super friendly and follows him around when he goes in there. But, all I see him do (I spend more time with them) is over breed all of my birds. Nobody’s...

    Boys need a new home

    I have two beautiful pekin ducks that just lost their loves - needing a new home. I also have a rooster - who does the job - but has now targeted my youngest daughter. She won’t even want to interact with him and he will go after her. Going outside is scary for her - he needs to go.

    Changing Roosters / Genetic Diversity in Closed Flock

    So for going on two years I have kept a closed flock. My decision was in part due to the fact that my first set of birds had some disease that eventually wiped out everyone by year two with my rooster being the only exception. So I restocked from a more reputable hatchery (Mt Healthy) and had...
