rooster

Hello fellow chicken friends. I have grown up with chickens my whole life living at my mom and dads and recently became married and bought a house. We had an existing coop with a small run that was already on property. We ripped out the old run and built a 15’x20’ run. We purchased 20 chicks...

Any idea what breeds these 2 roosters are?

So lately all of the hens were broody, I know crazy... They all broke from their broody phase after not hatching any eggs (we used fakes since they were all broody, after they all left their nesting boxes we noticed that the rooster was a little overwhelmed with all the hens back and active, I'm...

Our 10 week old blue austrolorp, Blue. I want to believe she is a hen... Help me out please.

Hello. In the afternoon, I have noticed one of my roosters - Rocky - has a nostril cut in half...!! Here is a picture : I actually don't know if I have to do something for him : Rocky is not in pain, and his cut is not bloody or nothing... ...I am afraid he would hurt himself - because...

I have 7 splash laces red Wyandotte chickens, it’s my first time having chickens. They are a little over 2 months old, and I have one that has more developed facial growth and is much bigger and aggressive then the others, did we get a rooster? I have attached two pictures of it and a third to...

Chicken showed up on my door step few weeks ago and was taking care of it. Turned out to be a rooster and needs to find a new home.

This rooster has 10 ladies in play & 5 have raw backs? i need to decide whether or not to eliminate him from the flock. Right now he's separated. 1 is in currently in home hospital because of weakness.

Our son was checking on his flock this morning when the rooster attacked him. He kicked to keep him away. In doing so the rooster seemed to dislocate his leg. Our son feels just sick about it, even though he was protecting himself(the rooster still got his claws into him). He’s not sure what to...

Hi all, about a week ago i noticed one of the neighborhood roosters in my yard with what appeared to be black gunk all over his head (my first thought was someone did something cruel and dumped something hot on him but honestly idk). he looked wretched, but at the time i was not intending to...

Hi all, I’ve had backyard chickens for 3 years and had my third hawk attack last night. Lost one of my 8 hens. When I found my rooster, he was tangled up in the fence and appeared to be dead. I realized he was breathing but called a neighbor to come put him out of his misery. But when my...

Hi there, I got a 3 year old serama rooster with a heart murmur diagnosed when he was 1 year old almost. He has been doing well with it just needed more care an attention then any other animal I had. But lately it has been getting slightly worsen, he lost sight in 1 eye and really can't not...

Hello, all! I am a first time chicken keeper. I had a question about my rooster. He is a 9 month old, 7 lb. Speckled Sussex named Alek Ross. In the past two days I noticed his feet were very red. His feet have always been redder than the hens, but it wasn't enough for concern. It just struck me...

Weird question that probably is really dumb - I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself. It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...

Just curious on these NN. Thank you.

Hey there, Going on my third year of raising chickens. I have a rooster that we hatched nearly a year ago. I was out of town for the weekend and upon my return, I noticed his crow sounded different. His usual strong and loud crow now sounds weak, similar to when he was learning to crow, as if...

A short video about how I solved our hawk problem!

Hi! I have at least 4, possibly six young silkie cockerels to rehome. They’ve been hand raised and we spend a LOT of time holding them and cuddling with them. I really need to find them homes quickly, they’re starting to get very annoyed with each other! One of them has a curved beak, but he is...

Hello first time poster here! I’m a new chicken owner and am unsure if we have a rooster. 7 week old lavender Orpington (on right in picture). Slightly heavier and larger, redder comb and displays dominant behavior vs other Orpington and 2 Easter Eggers. Any help is appreciated!

Any idea what comb Type my game rooster has? Thanks a lot! These are the best pictures I could get so far.
