I have ten-week-old chicks, and I saw that tsc feed is bad. I have been using cluck & co from tsc. Should I switch feeds? Or is it just layer feed that is bad from tsc? My goal is not just good eggs, but also healthy chickens. Also, is it bad to expose a rooster to layer pellets? I have three of...
My Starlight Green Egger, Buttercup, is 10 weeks old. I bought her from Tractor Supply and they were labeled as a “Premium Pullets, sexed chicks.” Since a chick she’s always been more aggressive and pecking at all the other hens. With the aggressive behavior and her comb growing larger/redder...
Hello!
I'm new to raising straight run chickens so have never had a rooster before. I have two 10-week-old Ameraucanas (supposedly one is Blue and one is Splash, but they look the same to me) whose gender is in question. Can you tell me if they're hens or roos?

I have a couple of issues going on, and I'm not sure if they're related. I have just a year's worth of experience with my flock. I have 4 hens about a year old, and just introduced 3 new pullets who were about 8 weeks. They were outside of the henhouse at night in their own open air cage, but a...
Crunch is one of three SP Cochin Bantum roosters that we got from our chick shipment. A very sweet disposition, kid friendly little guy. His little crow is getting stronger by the day.He is free to a good time. Not for food! Located in central Massachusetts.
Basically the title. My neighbors are too close, and this guy can sometimes be noisy, so unfortunately we have to let him go. Hoping he can go to a great home!
Hi everyone!
I have a lovely Black Australorp rooster that came with an order of pullets and I need to find a home for him. He is 10 weeks old, friendly, quiet, and takes good care of the girls he was raised with. I had a backup option when I purchased them in case I received a roo but they...

I’m trying to decide if its a good time to rehome my little guy.
I have 4 two month old chicks that I’m working on integrating into a flock of 4 year old hens. Turns out 1 (maybe 2) of my chicks is a roo. One has definitely found his voice. Unfortunately, I can’t have Roos in my city so I have...
We took in a stray/abandoned baby rooster but cannot keep him. I'm unsure of his breed but he's in good health and a happy little guy. I would guess he's around 10 weeks old.
Please reach out if you're interested or know anyone who may be.
We're in Austin, TX.
Thanks!
My hens are 12 weeks, but my rooster is 10 weeks. my drake is 12 weeks too, so my rooster started to crow and seems to be at a mature age. My rooster however doesn't go after my hens, but instead goes after my drake. Should I worry about my drake getting internal injuries if I don't catch my...
our rooster keeps jumping on my shoulder and sits or stands there what does this mean? At first, he didn’t do it but one of the chickens did it (she does it because I took care of her when she was a chick and had broken her leg so she spent time away from the flock so I get that, but the rooster...
Hi Everyone! I have a pet quality Blue Ameraucana rooster that I need to find a fabulous life for. He was hatched 3/25/22. He was hand raised and handled everyday. Quite frankly he thinks he is a parrot. LOL. He is very laid back and very sweet. It breaks my heart that I can't have him here...
Hey there! Quick question :)
so I have two 2 y/o polish hens, one 1 y/o naked neck hen, seventeen 8 week old RIR hens… my husband just picked up a 9 week old Ayam Cemani rooster a few weeks ago.
I’m trying to figure out the best way to integrate him. Should I keep him inside the house until...
My first chickens and my girl might be a boy??? She/He is almost 11 weeks old. As seen in photo has much larger red comb, waddle, pointy feather tail and bigger feet...My other Rhode Island Red has just little bit of a comb and rounded tail feathers. So my Ruby might be a Rubio???
Cockrel...Cockrell - either way, they can be lil hormonal beasts!
PLEASE share your lil cockrels here with us and any wisdom too!
Ya get your chicks...not knowing for certain what sex they'll be. Oh the excitement as you watch, wait and hope! You spend time with them, care for them. They get to...
i was sitting in the coop and suddenly, out of nowhere, for no reason, our 4 month old silkie hen and a silver sebright rooster started fighting. they’d face each other, walk in a circle parallel of eachother for a bit, then attack, and repeat.
they stopped for a bit and then started it again...
One in pictures above is a 10 week old chick. I think it’s a rooster. I incubated some eggs for my moms mixed rooster and her her barred rocks. Her brother is below he was crowing loud and proud this week. I was hopeful that one of the lighter chickens would be a hen but I’m not sure.
