A little disappointing! We wanted to keep a few roosters but not a dozen lol. We will be rehoming to some friends with their own flocks!

We got some straight run chicks in February and we were planning on giving away some of the roosters if we ended up with too many. Just wanting to see if what I think is a roo is what the general chicken public also thinks! Breeds pictured: white/blue/black chicks are Jersey Giant Red chicks...

I went to throw some strawberries out this afternoon for the birds and they all came running over to get a snack. One of my 2 year old roosters, who is the more aggressive one, came running over to eat. He started pecking at a berry then some hens came over to share and he let them eat it. Then...

We started our flock last spring, got all our chicks from the local farm supply store, they were all supposed to be female but we ended up with one roo. He's about 7 months old now. He had been super friendly up until just about a month ago. It started with him charging towards my daughter when...

We purchased a bunch of chicks a while back, this one in particular is a production red. They were all sexed but I'm starting to think we got a rooster by accident. She crows, she tries to mount the other girls, she is huge compared to the other hens her age... I feel like I am in denial so I...

We had kept our ducks separate, they stayed out in the run while the chickens went to bed in the coop. We had part of a swing set we tore down and used the house on it as their shelter so they would be safe from the elements. We were working on building their house to put down by the pond but...

Hi there. We just started our flock a couple months ago. My daughter has been wanting some laying hens and just joined the poultry project for our local 4-H club. We picked up some new chicks a couple months ago and have mostly Ameraucanas with a couple Production Reds, New Hampshire Reds, and...

I have a chicken, about 8-9 weeks old, that has been outside for about a week now. She wasn't leaving the coop yesterday and acting pretty lethargic so I brought her into the garage with the heat lamp. I checked her breastbone and it is pretty prominent, her crop is squishy, her vent is clear...
