I'm glad you rescued the poor things. It won't be long at your house and they'll perk up and look like a normal chicken should.. Hopefully Lucy will find a...
I know the new hens will have a great home. I wish someone would call animal control on them to rescue the other chickens. What a terrible existence. robin in...
Well, it wasn't any worse than a factory farmed egg layer, so I'm afraid animal control would be no use. I'm just glad he is selling them all. Animal control...
I just put in an order for 25 red star chickens to mcmurray hatchery today. This will be the first time that I've ever tried to raise chickens. I found out...
Kelli with that many roos you should have a whole chorus of crowers. I hope that one of them can have those traits that made Dukie so special. Let us know...
Your rooster doesn't crow? He'd be worth a small fortune to some folks! LOL! Our new Dominique roo Big Boy crows enough for a few roosters... he's LOUD, too!...
For 17 hens you only need a couple of roos. Otherwise, they'll fight to get their little "harem" of hens, and with 8 roos and 17 hens, that's only two hens...
Barb is right. I have a few too many new roosters, they havent started fighting but they gang bang the hens. Sorry to be so blunt but when one roo jumps a...
Oh I bet their crow alot! I have 5 roos and they crow intermitently all through the day. I wouldnt worry too much about them fighting with eachother. When I...
You know patty, this really shouldn't be funny, but for the first part, I figure that I'll probably lose a few of the chickens, as I am a new chicken owner,...
I posted a few pictures of Rowdy, the broken crower roo. He is a mixed breed Roo, so when you see all the strange colors that seem to be a mistake on the...
What kind of farmer neighbors do you have that would EVER be bothered by a rooster crowing? Do they just grow quiet corn or something? Robin B In a message...
If he was a REAL farmer, he'd be up when the roosters crowed and getting to chores! If he can't get up in the morning and harvests late at night, he should...
He sounds like "city folk" who decided to move to the country for the peace and quiet, and by golly he's gonna have peace and quiet! Does he farm as a second...
Rowdy is cute and worth alot of money. People would love to have a roo that doesn't crow.. He looks like a barred rock to me. Maybe he's just a late...
That's what makes me laugh, literaly. The farmer was born and raised out here, he even rents out our farmland. He farms several thousand acres. I was raised...
I hope this third death in the last week is the last for a while. :( One of The Chicken Sisters, a set of identical twin cochin banty hens, has finally passed...
I have 7 Roos that live 10 feet from our bedroom. They never wake me or my husband up. Of course they crow all the time, but I guess that is not in our ...
I don't know who here is a fan, but personally I think Steve Irwin did a whole lot for reptiles & other wildlife especially in Australia and really was a good...
I'm in shock too, have been since I heard about it 5 hours ago. The animal world lost a great champion today........very sad, unbelievable :o((..........Sal ...
The sweet little Chicken Sister had a nice long, happy life and a pleasant death cuddled into her friend Coal. You took good care of her, Velvet. robin in IN...
