rooster

Hello, second ever post here. I’ve got three chickens, and they’re about 9 weeks old. After realizing I had a cockerel, I wanted to make sure neither of my other ones were as well. Now comes the issue of swapping him (he seems to be the top of the pecking order, considering my hens follow him...

2years bym ‚he eats vegetables, grass in the yard, wheat, and compound feed, we add vitamins to the water ,at night he sleeps warmly on hay with hens, during the day he can walk wherever he wants in the yard but rarely leaves the house.

why has my rooster become sleepy, he no longer makes rooster sounds, his face turned pale".

Two cockerels for sale Southwest OKC area. $5 a piece. They are 5 months old. We have more than we need.

Has anyone ever kept a rooster completely separate from the hens? I introduced a 20 week old black Australorp rooster to my 8- 4 yo hens and he was doing great. It's been about a month he's been with them. Usually does the kittle wing dance for them to "ask permission". I have been introducing...

Hey. I have the opportunity to get one of these boys to go with my ameracauna splash and blue hens and hopefully have more splashes, but it’s so easy to have people post as pure Ameracaunas when they’re actually Easter eggers so I was hoping I could get some second opinions?

I got my beautiful birds from a local farmer who guarantees hens. I’ve always had a feeling that this was a sneaky rooster, who has been growing bigger and faster than their sisters. I wanted to ask your opinions before I bother the farmer, do you think this is a rooster?

We treated our rooster for mites a few months ago when we noticed he started limping. We kept an eye on him to make sure all the mites were gone. He kept taking turns on each leg, skin and comb looked healthy and he still seemed strong so we hoped he would improve. Unfortunately he didn't...

I have 2 Easter Eggers in my mini flock. They’re about 7 weeks old (I know it’s early), this one is substantially larger than the other one and its coloring is different. The hatchery I bought them from only guarantees 90% are sexed correctly. Is it possible this one is a rooster? Or do I have...

Hey guys, We have a gorgeous rooster that we can not keep due to our neighborhood policy. He is a 12 wk old EE splash rooster. We live in Marietta Georgia and we’re hoping someone would love to take care of him since we no longer can. I have pictures attached that were taken when he was 11 wks...

We got 6 'sexed' baby chicks in April and 2 turned out to be roos.. They are both smaller than all the hens that were in the group and I have included photos... If anyone is interested in 1 or 2 happy to meet you somewhere... They seems gentle so far but have also not turned into large birds...

I’m a newbie in the chicken world, but we bought this baby from one of our local feed bins this is Nyx and the guy who sold her to us was unsure of the breed but I am thinking either a Ameraucana or EE? Hoping someone with more experience would know lol also is it still too early to tell between...

My rooster has been limping and sitting down alot without moving besides going to get up for water or food. i noticed whenever he got up he would have a hunch back and his tail very limp, legs waddling outwards. his comb has black spots and hes turning pale on the red on his face, he sprawls out...

Hi folks! My accidental rooster started crowing last week and it was super cute at first as he was learning. Now it’s developed into a full/blown very LOUD and FREQUENT crow. Like sometimes of day he’ll crow every few minutes!!! We work from home and the coop is right below our bedroom & our...

I am freaking out. I’ve had my doubts from the start, but I cannot own a rooster in my neighborhood. Is this in fact a rooster? 17 week old “pullet” has been highly aggressive and mounting other hens. This morning has started full blown crowing. I will attach some pics and hopefully a...

I currently have 3 Brahma Roosters (2 dark 1 buff) that I am looking to rehome from my group that are going on 15 weeks old. They have been pretty good around each other except the dark ones kinda worked together keeping the buff one at the bottom of the pecking order, pecking his rear big...

I picked up a rooster with a pretty bad looking broken leg but I’m not sure how to tell if he can live with it or if he will need care. He moves and can move pretty quickly so I’m not sure if this is an old break that healed this way or if it is fixable.

Can anyone tell me 100% this is a rooster? Roughly 5 months old.

I have two chicken houses. I found that buying from 2 different hatches sometimes separates the pack. I have a lovely rooster. He is in with his two older babes and one is brooding her first clutch. The other female is the rooster's companion for now. I have another pen with six 1 yr old hens...

Yesterday I noticed my rooster limping. The foot shown is the one he is favoring. It doesn't seem to look like bumblefoot, does it? Any advice? Maybe he stepped on a thorny blackberry bush?
