    Cockerel being a jerk or just normal behavior?

    This is my first time raising a cockerel with my egg hens because one of the lavender orpingtons turned out to be a cockerel. They are all five weeks old and from what I can tell, he is the only cockerel. He is honestly starting to be a jerk? He's chasing quite a few of the girls around, but...

    Which rooster do I choose??? Any and all advice welcome!!! It's an unique situation!!!

    Hi all! TLDR; I like the idea of keeping a rooster because it was an accident in the first place so I want to give it my best shot and I have a lot of predators in the area and I like to free range whenever I can. Both cockerels are not really aggressive with each other, they coexist fine...

    Why do my cockerel crow at me and also when I'm not around??

    Hi, guys! I hope you could help me to understand my big baby. I have 3 4 months old chickens. Auri grow too much bigger (3,2kg) than Sol (1,6kg) and Ébano (1,6kg). Auri crows every morning until I let him out. He tries to bite me and stomps his feet at me. He makes a strange sound as if he's...

    Flock dynamic if I remove the Cockerel

    I have a New Hampshire Red style Rooster that's just coming up on a year old, I raised him from a chick, but he's tried a few times to flog my partner and recently he's started to try and flog me too, but his spurs aren't sharp thankfully as he's only a year old. Despite these negatives, I have...

    Early signs of agression in Roos/Cockerels

    I have my first ever flock, we kept one rooster out of all the chicks I raised. He seems really sweet so far, does a dance for his hens, does a squat when I pet him, will let me pick him up and generally is a gentle boy when mating with the hens. He's fine around humans and our dogs currently...

    cockerel not fond of chick

    It seems to me that my cockerel, 10 months old SilkixPolish, has it out for one of the chicks. The chicks are 6 weeks old, SilkiexPolish. The chick, the youngest so perhaps it is 5 weeks old, seems healthy to me. The chick is generally fine within the flock. This happened this morning: I...

    Cockerel Help - Aggressive towards pullets?

    Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that my one cockerel Artie, second in command (I think) of my flock, has been agressively pecking my pullets necks. I don’t think he’s trying to mate them as he will “dance” for them and tidbit as well any other time (even when he always gets denied like the other...

    Pullets Scared of Cockerel

    I have eight, 16-week-old chickens, various breeds, all raised together. None laying yet. I have one unexpected SL Polish cockerel in the bunch, and besides crowing non-stop, he constantly herds the girls into the coop (even when it’s daytime and there are no perceived threats) and chases them...
