    Bachelor Pad next to the hens?

    I am in the process of planning a "poultry palace" for my chickens and ducks. We have one rooster now, but I want to be open to the possibility of having more than one rooster in the future. (I probably couldn't bring myself to kill any chicks that turned out to be boys.) I was hoping to...

    What should I do for my antisocial roosters? Are there any other types of bird that could provide better enrichment?

    Hello, I’m not sure if this is the right spot for this question but I figured it was my best bet. A while back I bought four straight run bantam chicks at my local feed store (complete impulse buy, they were very cute), and as luck would have it, all four ended up being roosters. I posted...

    Legbar? Leghorn? Mix?

    Does anyone know whether this is a mix or a pure breed of legbar/leghorn/cream crested legbar? On the Internet I can't find exactly similar roosters from these breeds, is it a mix?

    How to handle my roosters fighting?

    Hello, I need some advice with my two roosters. I've had the Brahma for two years, and then I bought pullet chicks last year ; one of the Amerucanas grew up to be a rooster. Go figure, lol. They grew up together and lived in harmony for a year, except for the Brahma chasing off the Amerucana...

    Pros and Cons on a Golden Sexlink Rooster?

    I am being given a Golden Sexlink rooster. I currently don’t have a rooster for my flock, but I think one is needed for protection. Research shows they are very gentile and docile. I’m wondering if this is not a good breed for protecting. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Rehome One Rooster or Two?

    We have raised chickens for several years, adding to the flock by buying newly hatched chicks from various sources. We made a decision from the beginning that we didn't want any roosters, and so have only purchased sexed chicks. But, as was bound to happen eventually, our recent batch included...

    Chickens, chicks and roosters in need of a new home

Upon arrival at the complex we quickly realized that there are 40-50 chickens running loose at the property. I'm looking to see if anyone can help in finding them a new home as we cannot have...

    Can I keep multiple roosters in a small flock?

    I have 5 week-old South African indigenous layer chicks (not quite sure of the exact breed) that I got from a local farm. They weren’t able to sex the chicks when I got them but I just rolled with it without given it the consideration needed. I’m hearing that it may be difficult to keep a small...

    combining young roosters with established hens

    Looking for advice and shared experience. I need to combine three young roosters with three laying hens. A little background: I raised three chicks that I got from a guy on FBMarketplace. All three turned out to be roosters. Sigh. They will reach 20 weeks at Thanksgiving. I recently took my...

    Integrating new hens or keeping a separate flock for my second rooster

    I have a flock of 12 hens and 2 roosters. They are all roughly 8 months old. One of the roosters is clearly dominant. The other spends his day on the outskirts of the flock or with the occasional hen if they can find privacy. The only time he seems to have much company is in the evening when 3-4...

    Opinions on sex of Easter Egger

    It is almost 12 weeks and has been significany larger than all of its flock mates since about week 6 or 7. The rest of them barely have any comb to speak of that are of similar breeding. I’m thinking it’s a roo but curious if anyone else could weigh in from these photos. Thanks!

    Places where roosters can crow

    Hello all! I would like to count on your knowledge to make a list of all places in the USA where, simply put, roosters can crow. I will move to the US, and we have decided that we will only live where the roosters can crow, no invasive complaints, no irrational laws, no whatever. Anywhere, any...

    Too-la-ROO-la-ree?

    I've had chickens for almost a decade now but have always ordered strictly pullets direct from the hatchery & have been lucky enough that the sexers got it right 100% of the time. I ordered Easter Egger pullets for the first time & the hatchery did advise me that their sexing for them is only...
