    Rooster Has Attacked Me. Now what?

    I have 32 chickens: 8 pullets/1 cockerel (8 weeks) and 21 hens/2 roosters. The hens are of varying ages but the roosters are 1 year 3 months. We’ve had 4 roosters before these ones, unfortunately losing them all to predators. I have never experienced rooster aggression towards me before. I...

    Butchering: first time complete ****GRAPHIC****

    So, I just butchered my first quail. I was planning on it eventually, but tonight it became necessary. As my newest hatch was getting older, I moved the hens into a pen with a solo older rooster... Discovered this evening when I got home that the rooster (named Duck) had quite savagely...

    Bullied Bantam!

    I bought a group of day old and was reassured that bantams and large fowl could live together. I got three bantams and an Orpington. Sadly, the Orpington and one of the bantams aren't around anymore and one of the bantams turned out to be a cockeral! The bantam cockeral doesn't seem to jump on...

    If I raise new cockerels with an agressive rooster will they learn it too?

    I have a human agressive rooster and I'm planning on keeping 2-3 of the cockerels out of the chicks I've hatched. I plan to integrate them into the flock at around 8 weeks old. I need these new cockerels to grow into nice roosters. So far all the roosters I've raised have turned agressive at...

    Agressive new rooster

    I adopted a lovely new rooster in need of a home from the humane society yesterday. He seems to be fitting in well and is friendly around me. The only problem is that he keeps attacking my dominant roister to the point that he tries to run out of the barn whenever he gets the chance. I'm not...

    Hemp Calmed My Cockerel

    I had previously written with much detail this post before but for some reason the site shut down and took a minute to reload so I’m going to keep it brief. I have a Cockel named Biggums. At 13 weeks of age he has become really aggressive and his bites seriously hurt. He’s a big bird really big...

    Agressive Rooster Dragging Hens

    Hello! I have a 13 week old flock, 8 pullets, 4 roosters (bad ratio, I know, still deciding which roosters to keep). I have one rooster who is aggressive, but only towards the hens, grabbing them by the neck and dragging them around. The other roosters are not aggressive at all, towards each...

    When do cockerels or roosters hormones peak?

    I have two roosters and one has always been quite mellow while my other one is more intense. He takes his rooster job very seriously and will call the hens over for treats, squak for protection, but is also very aggressive with the ladies. He will run them down to mount, drag them around a bit...

    Cockerel Keeps Attacking Me!

    I love him, but today he poofed up, pecked and flew at me! Usually I can just hold him like a cat, but he was just being a jerk today! Anyone know how to calm him down?

    How to tame aggressive rooster?

    Hello, We have a Icelandic rooster named Dippy. He was hand raised (and saved by us several times). He has been very sweet until about a week ago (he is 6 months old). He started attacking my Mom and Dad by jumping from the roosting bar feet first. He hasn’t attacked me yet as I held him far a...

    Rooster Pecking/Injuring Hens

    My flock consists of a white silkie roo, a barred rock hen, a black star hen, and a bearded d'uccle hen (mille fleur). Recently, I have had issues with my silkie picking on my hens, mostly my barred rock and my bearded d'uccle. I believe he has even drew blood on the barred rock. They are all a...

    Agressive Rooster

    So my 21 week old roo attacked me yesterday for the first time. If this continues, he may find himself being culled.

    Duck, Duck, Rooster

    My RI rooster is beating the snot out of my Pekin. What are your ideas on managing them? Eighteen weeks ago we brought home four chicks and two ducklings from Tractor Supply. Turns out we have two Golden Comet hens (Pixie and Trixie), two roosters [one Barred (Reuben) and one RI (Red)] and...

    Very aggressive rooster

    i have a problem and need a solution. I have a very aggressive rooster he attacks us every time we go into the yard. You need to be armed with a rake or something because he is coming for you. He won’t even let my dog go outside - she is terrified of him. I’ve tried to find him a home but who...

    Roo suddenly aggressive

    My rooster has suddenly become aggressive with me, attacking first my feet, then my legs. Today he drew blood. He has been a really good keeper of the flock until now. We have recently learned our new flock of 7 includes 2 cockerels, and one started crowing a few weeks ago. Could this be a...
