A brief update here. No further rooster fiascos, seems we have a system (aka as distract and bribe with treats when Es is with me 😂)for dealing with the big guy till his hormones calm back down.
Integration is going slowly. I had one challenging evening when I brilliantly decided to let the...
@Pastel the Rooster
Thank you for posting the video. As someone who is also having issues with a rooster at the moment, I found this video very helpful. It allowed me to look at your interactions and compare it to my own and my daughters to see what I could change to improve the situation here...
Thank you for this post. Very helpful information.
I think the babies may well have something to do with the behavior change. Why he has choosing to target my daughter specifically, I am not sure except that she spends less time with them then I do and is smaller and therefore an easier target...
I was upset when I posted. I am gonna try and see what happens. If it escalates then I know my answer. If stays the same then perhaps he will mature out of it. In the meantime I will “arm” Esmae with snacks when she is ready to try again. Hopefully, that will distract him and he can see she...
:goodpost:seriously, I really do not wanna know the bacterial load on a chickens beak, they peck everyyyythinnngggg! Just like toddlers wanting to touch everything wherever they go and then put 90% of what they touch right in their mouths 👄 🤦♀️
I honestly have no idea why. Both of them have been just fine with everyone up until about a week and half ago. The only thing I can think of is age. I have noticed since hatch with all the English Orps they are very very slow to mature. Perhaps he is just now truly hitting that teenage jerk...
Well, some updates here.
I think I have two rooster babies, one of the Amerucana’s and the normal eyed Jubilee but tbh I am not 100% sure on either yet.
I took the little one’s tent out to the big coop after giving the coop a spring clean. They spent last night out there. The big chickens can...
Oh goodness!
On a serious note I am sorry they and you are dealing with this. Seems like it’s a matter of time thing, all of us are likely to have to deal with this or a similar issue at some point be it mites, lice, or worms. :(
On the pictures, those are funny and priceless 😂 and it’s because...
I did it way back when, and I've seen pictures of Ponypoor doing it too. That said, it is inherently dangerous—not just for you, but also for your horse. Both of you need to be strong and confident before attempting it.
Start with lots of trotting over ground poles while in the jumping...
Tween pics, get ready for some funny looking cuteness.
Ryka - I think she is a girl but her growth is so stunted I am far from sure.
Flynt says outside is hot and a bit stressful but bug hunting is fun.
The whole tween crew:
Sun bathing is so nice!
In this picture you can see Granite...
Of course, I did not mean to imply he would. The relationship you have with this new little man will be unique and special in its own right.
I am sorry if my post upset you, it truly was meant with positive intentions. 🤗
May this handsome little fellow grow up to be his own brand of awesome...
