My 7-week old Faverolles cockerel, Dale, already seems aggressive to me, but I’m not sure if it’s just rooster behavior and establishing his dominance in the flock. Never had roosters before. There are six pullets (all 7 weeks as well). He seems to pick on every single one of the girls. Just...

I purchased day-old chicks today to add to my existing flock of seven 6ish-week old chicks (one is a cockerel). I did so because I originally planned for eight hens - one died the day I bought it, I replaced it, a second died the next day, and one turned out to be a cockerel, so I am down to six...

I have another breed question! Lavender EE? Something else?

I recently started my first flock of what were supposed to be all pullets, but it’s looking like two of the seven I purchased are cockerels - a Salmon Faverolles and a Black Australorp (thanks to those on here who helped me ID them!). They are currently 4ish weeks old. I’m planning to get more...

Hi there! I grew up raising chickens, but we always just had 3-4 at a time and even though we did take good care of them, we didn’t know much about them. Now as an adult, I am taking it more seriously and just started my own flock a few weeks ago.

I’m pretty sure I already know the answer, but is this Salmon Faverolles chick a roo? I’ve heard black feathering automatically tells you it is…if so, Laura needs a name change!
