    Large Rooster, smaller hens, is he going to hurt them?

    Hello! I picked up a rooster (named Copper, a barnyard mic) recently to join my flock. My pullets (red sex link) are about 6 months old, and he is about a year old. I noticed that he's significantly bigger than my hens. I saw him looking to cover one and when he did, he used his feet to...

    Rooster Rehoming in NE Ohio

    Hi all, I'm in a bit of a tight squeeze. My family has a rooster that they just cannot keep anymore. He's a 2 year-old named Oliver. Very intelligent and protective of his hens, but he is a big, strong bird with a lot of energy and he needs somebody who is better equipped to handle him. We love...

    Duccle’s porcelain’s and Millie’s

    I know they are very young still approx 3 weeks old but I noticed 2 are noticeably larger than the other 3. Has anyone that raised these before noticed that the larger ones were roosters ? I’m hoping to have 2 roosters anyways so it won’t be a bad thing! The tail also looks bigger already .

    Gender?

    I have 3 7 week old chickens I need help sexing. I'm pretty sure the brown one is female. The two light brahmas im unsure of. The middle chicken looks different than their sibling. Comb is different and wattles are more red. I know it's still early just wanna see if anyone has any opinions.

    Rooster pecking, need advice

    Hi, I'm having some issues with a rooster of mine. He is the only rooster in my flock of 5 (it was seven but we had some unfortunate losses). 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...

    Gender?

    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've noticed the rooster is bleeding, I think from his comb. When he shakes his head, there's blood drops flying...
