Hello, everyone. I got a new batch of baby chickens back in April for our pet flock and I'm loving them. We got a lot of light brahma's and one of them we can't tell if its a rooster or a hen. The evidence for it being a rooster is when it was a tiny baby it would jump and kick at our hands. It...
Last night I made a decision to cull my first rooster. He was about 2 1/2 years old and I hatched them from eggs to start my first flock. I made the decision because he wasn’t backing down from fighting with his brother (same age) and another rooster who is just over a year old. They got along...
Can you guys help me sex some of my chickens that im confused about? First one is an ameraucana, 6 months old. Second one is a silkie buff Orpington mix, 3 months old. Third one is the same as the second one, also 3 months old.
Nugget is a super friendly 14 week old Easter Egger rooster.
Unfortunately we are not allowed to have roosters in our county, so we need to find a new home for Nugget!
Free to a good home…he loves snacks and attention!
I have a sneaking suspicion that I know the answer but… rooster or hen? Around three months old. The others have no where near the size of comb this one does
i want hatching eggs and i have the incubator already, but i'm afraid of having to rehome roosters. there's a few animal sanctuaries near me, but it depends on their capacity whether or not they can take them.
but there's also just no sexed chicks near me at this time.
i also don't want to...
This is an update on my last post I made regarding my chicken Trisha who is apparently a rooster. Unfortunately I can not keep him since I live in a neighborhood. Thankfully he will be going to a good home, my brother in law who has a small farm and lots of other chickens. He will continue to be...
One lavender ameracauna and a lavender maran both Roos….. can’t decide if I want to put the maran to some black ameracaunas and the ameracauna to the splash marans and getting some olive eggers or to keep them true to their breeds ….
I have a 5 month old Orpington chicken who has suddenly changed several behaviors. For context Trisha (Trisha Paytas is her name) has always been my sweetest chick. She has always been very smart loves people. I raised her well, giving her treats everyday, picking her up, singing with her...
a young rooster i have has ended up with a facial injury (a pretty nasty cut , otherwise fine, he’ll heal) and a closed up eye
he can open it now after i gently pulled it open as it had some yellow crust around it but theres a very small gash in his eyeball under his lower eyelid
his pupil has...
Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins.
And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?
I have a four and a half month old serama rooster and this morning he looked bad, hes been eating and drinking, his body feels fine. Hes been hunched over and NOT running around with his brother(like normal) he doesn’t have any injuries, but he was attacked by a dog a month ago could it be that...
Hello friends,
I was hoping someone might help me identify the breed.
This is my mom's rooster. He is 11 years old, maybe more. That's why he looks ... the way he looks :D His name is Gargamel. Mom can't remember what breed he is other than he is a liliputy chicken. I love him, he's so...
I have 2 lavendar Americana roosters that I need to absolutely 1000000000% need to remove. Genesee county, Mi. Local public meet only. If interested let me know.
My Rooster(Red Sexlink, name Sir Henry) is about a year old and I think got into a fight with a rat. He is huddled in corner and wont let me clean his face. I see no visible wounds/gashes but I do see caked blood. It seems the ploomage is caked with blood and dirt. I looked around the run...
Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.
Hello!
For the past two days, my rooster has been holding his neck in an odd position, I will attach a picture. He is unsteady and is very slow when walking. He’s not drinking on his own and he doesn’t seem to have much of an appetite either. He seems reluctant to reach down or groom properly...
Hi! In my last order I received a cockerel on accident. I was not planning on getting one originally as I've got two roosters already and 18 hens now. However, he is starting to grow on me and I was wondering how RIR rooster temperaments generally are.
Obviously I do know that temperaments do...
