rooster problems

Hi all, In one of my previous posts, my frizzles lost a heap of feathers, but my silkie was unaffected. We came down to the conclusion of rooster wear but... we put a camera up in their coop, and found out that the rooster was attacking them, and ripping their feathers out! Not to mention, he...

Got them as 1 day old chicks at the beginning of March this year. They are a little over 4 months old now but have been crowing since less than 3mo old. The chickens were unsexed for the most part and I ended up with 7 roosters and 4 hens. Coop politics are a bit rough. Lots of rooster on...

Hey y'all! So I have a rooster. I didn't raise him from a baby but he was given to me and I was told he was about eight to nine months old at the time. So he is estimated to be about nine to tenish months old now. I was worried he was going to be aggressive but he was actually more curious and...

Still new to chickens here and looking for some advice. We’re considering a bachelor flock for our six boys 😱 Different sizes, the little guys leave the big girls alone and (most of) the big guys leave the small girls alone. We have one Brahma rooster crushing badly on a 1lb bantam hen but...

If you buy a dog, tie him to a tree and occasionally interact with him, he will not be as obedient as your neighbor's dog who sits, stays, rolls over, fetches and most of all.. a true companion. But the difference is your neighbor plays and interacts with their doggy a lot. Roosters are no...

When I first got my chicks, I wanted only girls. However it turns out that one of the pullets that I got was a boy! He has crowed for a bit, however I was not fully aware that he was a boy as my husband has a game that the save noise is a rooster crowing, and then we have neighbors with them as...

Hi all, So my son brought home a rooster from school that they hatched in science class. We are planning on getting a few hens to be with him. my problem is that we live in a city where you aren't technically supposed to have chickens and I am afraid that the rooster's crowing when he gets a...
