roosters

2 Golden Laced Wyandotte roosters (both are 1 year old) looking for new homes (we have too many roos) Located in CT

(I didn't know what forum to use for this, sorry if it doesn't fit with 'managing your flock') Is it okay to have only roosters in a flock? We've been getting alot of males recently, and I really don't want to rehome them since I get attached way to easily to these babies. So I was wondering if...

I have a bantam and barred rock that I need to rehome. Bought pullets, but they ended up being roosters. Located in Vestal, NY

Hi all. I am trying to understand how exactly a rooster crows but I’m running into contradictions. … an intake of breath fills the air sac above the crop, this breath is used to crow, the more breath, the louder the crow? I have no idea if the above is correct, but I do not believe this is...

I have an overabundance of roosters I have 2 Ayam Cemani and 2 Orpington (silver laced) Roosters who could use a new home < 6 months old I am in Bradenton FL and you may contact me 1-941-745-1808 or by responding to this post

I have 2 white roosters with pea combs needing to be rehomed to a good home or farm. They are beautiful and sweeties. They come from a small farm, not a hatchery. They are not vaccinated, and have been fed non-gmo, non-medicated feed since received in the mail.

So we ordered 10 Australorp chickens and they all turned out to be pullets. With a potential food shortage coming we don’t like the idea of not having a rooster so we could grow our flock if needed. However we also have young children (7 months old and 4 years old). We learned we can order...

I’m trying to get a rough breeding program outline down on paper for up to 10 breeding groups. I’d love to hear your feedback! ((note: this is a hobby, but one I’d like to take further in the future.) 1. What is the smallest number of hens you’d put into the breeding pen with a rooster? 2...

I’m in Rancho Cucamonga and found out 2 of my pullets are roosters. I’m not supposed to have any chickens so my roosters are going to bust me. These happen to be the two with the best personality in my coop and I want them to be just as loved where they go. *Im new to the site so if I do this...

Hi, we are looking for Purebred Roosters for our flock of 120 Chickens. Previous experienced that just females is not as peaceful than a flock with just girls. if you have a purebred available, please let us know. thnx

I hope I am posting this in the right place, I have a question about Roosters. This spring I got 4 Jersey Giant chicks From TSC and 2 of them turned out to be ROO's and they are very nice! I noticed that Bruno is the only one that crows he is defiantly the dominant Roo of the 2 poor Antonio...

Say you have 5 roos & 9 hens. After they’re done with the breeding season (let out of their breeding pens), would you separate roos from hens or keep together? If you’d separate, does there need to be a wall to keep the roos from seeing the hens? I have a 40x20 outdoor space to work with...

Hi everyone! My name is Gordon and I am in New Jersey. My wife and I have raised up three children and they all gone. Now we found our new life style here - raising up a flock of chicks, and they are my new babies now, to care about..., since July 2021 of the pandemic, I have raised up 30 chicks...

Hey there, We're thinking about moving to a new town with no restrictions on owning roosters. Obviously, the first thing I think about is chickens! I love silkies and easter eggers, and while I currently only have 4 silkie hens, I want more! I'd love to get some roosters too. This is where the...

Hi everyone! So here is my dilemma, I live with my parents while going to college and I have 4 younger siblings all under 8. We used to own a rooster that was friendly enough, but he'd attack the kids when they got close to him which made them never want to go outside when he was around. I...

So, I’m new. I apologize if this is unnecessary or in the wrong spot! I have 5 Roos. Bawk Bawk is my big Australorp and he is the oldest and Alpha, while frostbite during this NNY winter hit my boys hard and I went into the coop to find Bawk Bawk covered in blood and comb tore up! So I’ve...

I am completely new to chicken keeping, I have 4 hens and two roosters. All my chickens are a little over 5 months old and acting completely normal. Still eating, laying and running around like normal. Over the past few days I noticed one of my roosters developing these scab things on his comb...

Over the course of the past 5 months, the neighbor’s roosters have integrated into my own flock. They stopped caring for the boys when their hens died, so I took up to feeding them and they’ve grown comfortable with me. They come over every day and stay until the last few minutes of daylight...

We live in maine and have 3 almost9 week old silkie cockerels for free. They have proven over and over that they are boys and definitely are acting the part. If anyone is interested in them please send me a message. That we just got up and running, but I'm posting the pictures here too Thanks...
