Hi ShinShien, I'm still pretty new. But I'm also in the same boat as you. Looks like one of my new Australorp is a Cockerel. I'm peeing, if I'm right, that his temperament with the hens a no d people is way better than our Golden Cuckoo Marans. I don't see how it could be e much worse. I'm...

He is so impressive with all his waddles! What breed is he?

So, I get you point about child brides, which we have examples of in cultures here as well. Ok. This may not be the place. Do you wish to go private? What "International Work," please? I hope you dont refer to the UN? Of course we have child brides here in US too, which can be considered...

Oops. Please forgive me I hit submit too quickly and the above post is a mess. But I am also confused about the education of women and child Brides? When you say we want to educate them and raise their standard of living, who is the we you're talking about? Are you referring to the US...

Thanks for your definition of rape. My definition or publication of the word may not be exactly correct comma but that does not mean I won't use it. I did I gave you is it in sarcastic comical way comma because I'm not really sure how else to describe it with chickens.

Ok, this is like the fourth or fifth time I have read not good to anthropomorphize. Attribute human emotions or logic to animals. I did a paper in college on this word, over 20 years ago. Since then, there are numerous studies prooving that is not exactly true. I will not start giving examples...

In my book, if you taught a cat tricks, you are gifted!

Yes I see. I wish I had an older hen. But my big girls rebuff him. Maybe I can rent an older hen? Or just add one?

My apologies. Art HAD answered when I again asked same question here. My bad. I must admit, I have researched here and other places, and this is the first time I have an answer. That doesn't mean the answer is not here somewhere, it may be and I didnt see it. I just recently learned, last week I...

Sure. You can ask. He was sent to me by mistake. I ordered all female AutoSexed, and he was a mistake. An "Accidental Rooster." May I ask why you ask?

How do things work if he has no penis? No wonder the females are not interested?

So does behavior significantly change upon maturity? Should we just throw bad behaviors out till they are a year old?

Yes yes yes please! With cherries on top!

This worked for us inadvertantly the first day we got them. We recd ten, all of which we believed to be female. One started pecking at everyones elses EYES! Not knowing a thing about chicks, we freaked out. Thought it was mental. None of the other chicks did this. After my husband kept me from...

You are so worried about your older hen, why not seperate them? Ok, all mine are 13 weeks, raised together. He doesnt find food, but he will back off treats I am hand feeding, and wait untill the girls take treat, then he takes last. They are not free ranged, but he us protective, has to know...

Can someone please explain what "good to the hens" looks like? How about "too aggressive with the hens"? Or " mean to the hens?"

I have dog grinders, that run so fast, you cannot draw blood because grinder cauterizes the root, so to speak, if I ever get that close. I never get that close because they flinch and let you know you are close. Roots can actually withdraw a little if you get close enough. My bird lady for my...

Just wanted to add, I read in Storeys that the amount of testosterone is directly related to heighth and color of comb. Males read each other this way, and decide what position they hold, will they callenge another rooster, etc. Fascinating book

Off subject, but I do dogs alot. So many people are afraid of Pit Bulls because of dog agression, they think it relates to people aggression. Two different things. People aggressive are abominations of the breed. Interesting that birds are the same. We got our first chickens ever in May...
