I visit my hens every day since I got them two weeks ago. At first everything was great but now I have an issue with not collecting any white eggs for the last 4 days. The Amber star has been Queen royalty while the white leghorn - who's also a bully - demonstrated her amazing laying prowess and...
Hi, i have two ameraucana chicks, im thinking cockeral but im wondering if anybody else had similar looking ones that turned out female.
Black one charges at my gfs hand and look how pink he is 😭😭
I know some pullets wait for spring, but my cockerel still doesn’t crow, still doesn’t hump the girls, doesn’t court them or does anything cock like other than biting my fingers when I offer him snacks.
I was hoping to make chicks out of him in the spring…
Hello
We recently gained a cockerel after a neighbour found him on a dog walk.
We separated the cock from chickens before introducing him overnight after a week of them being separated by a netting so they could see each other but not get to.
The day after introducing them, the cock had black...
Spent all day at my local fair, and here was my favorite moment. I hope it makes you laugh too! :lau
A couple walked up to me and asked, "Is that bird a rooster or chicken?"
I checked the tag on the cage. "This is a rooster. But a chicken can be both a male and female chicken. We call the girls...
Hi all,
We have a 2 year old Rhode Island Red cock. Last year, we watched him strip feathers off the hens during his roughhousing. We also noticed the eggs were fertilized when cracking them open. This year, however, something has changed. We have tried to incubate eggs, but the ones from...
Hi my 3 months old cock pants in the summer heat but yawns a lot under the fan, but when i hand fan him with paper he stays cool what to do?(sorry for bad grammar)
I banded my six hens and one cockerel Sept 12th at 20 weeks old. On all the birds, I used the 3/4" diameter (B) of the Aluminum leg bands for chickens from Pinnon Hatch. They are all Partridge Plymouth Rocks, too give an idea of sizing.
The bands on the hens are doing well, but I'm concerned...
Hi everybody
I’m searching for a Wheaten Ameraucana cock/cockerel and hen/pullet.
I’d prefer a splash wheaten male and a regular wheaten female but that’s not a dealbreaker. I’m also willing to pay for shipping if needed.
I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Thank you
Roosters are a beautiful (and loud) addition to every flock. But fear of an aggressive rooster can make many people back down. Don't worry, with a consistent method and patience you can avoid this problem.
First, check your area laws to make sure roosters are legal...
Can we tak about the awkward version of puberty my ameraucana cockerel is going through? 🤣 he’s got 2 fully grown tail feathers and the rest still have that shaft cover and are short so he looks like a bit of a derp!
Hi all!
Here are some of my babies that I hatched. I've started to hear the beginning of crowing, and I think I know which are males, but was hoping to get a second opinion without influencing anyone here. Thanks so much for all of your help! Click image to enlarge...
