All your videos are so informative!! You need to write a book!!! Seriously!!
Love your videos
It isn't a farm unless the rooster's crowing at 4:30 in the morning! Got 4, 2 white leghorns, 1 Brown leghorn, and Baby Huey, who is a white giant.
What exactly do you mean when you say that a rooster will "flog"?
Can you give some examples?
Thanks
I am looking at the Orpington breed for a rooster. Can I ask your thoughts about this breeds especially males.
Cook the extra roosters or give them away. Keep the non flogger one.
It's possible to keep a rooster tame. I work with mine almost daily to make sure they don't get too full of themselves.
pepper spray, one time, peppermint oil diluted.
Hi Patara! Thank you for all the videos you do, as you have been very educational and helpful for me! Growing up, i had chickens a couple times, but when i was about 8, we had one very mean rooster that would come find me just to flog me, so I've been scared of them for many years. I thought it was just part of having them. Thank you so much for this and answering my questions of how NOT to get attacked.
how soon can you remove their spurs? Of our 16 chickens, we have 2 roosters… is this a good ratio or should we start watching them?
how can you tell you got roosters. I bought 3 hens but they are really loud. buff orpingtons. how do I tell. it's not cockadoodling but clucking loud.
Hi, I'm sure you're very busy, but I have some black sex link hens that are about 19 weeks old now, and haven't laid an egg. Unfortunately we have a rooster that has been getting mean here lately. He has been getting into fights with the dog, and has flogged me several times. He has also been kind of rough with the hens, and I was wondering if it is possible that he is causing them to not lay eggs? I may just be impatient lol, but if that's the reason they aren't laying yet then we may have to do something about him. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
If a bird "flogs" me I'll give it a front snap kick right in the chest and make that sucker fly!
I don't have a rooster and my county law says I can only have 5 chicks in a residential area! yet, they only sell them in a six pack here! go figure!
I am very surprised how quiet my baby's are!
Is the backup plan to put your boot up its butt and show it who's boss?
nice shirt
i am used to it. i used to have 2 aggressive ones when i was little
My aunt and uncle have a bunch a hens and they aren't fans of roosters to instead they got a turkey to protect the flock. They're happy with it and haven't lost any more hens since getting him.
We got some straight runs from ideal hatchery. The Hamburg roosters, black langshan roosters, dark Cornish roosters and americauna roosters all began to flog. The worst was the hamburgs. They can fly and they flew towards our faces trying to stab us with their spurs. We ate every single one of them. lol. Our black jersey giant rooster is gentle with humans. Thank god because he's almost as big as a turkey.
i got flogged two times in my hand resulting in permanent nerve damage. i rehomed him. he was rhode island red. my cuckoo and french blk copper marans hav not been aggressive at all so far
yes there was a rooster in my last batch of chicks and he will make a wonderful pot pie. I work on breeding farm which had a 20 hen for 1 rooster. I know that seem extreme to me too! I think they will always speer you but the most important thing you didn't say anything about, and that is that darn crowing starting at light and going on to dark. that is why I say nay. love your Videos !!!!
do you sell chicks?
and if you do when is you next batch?
of bantam silky
thx i love your vids <3
I am rewatching because I saved a Roo from stew. He isn't aggressive aggressive all, he just accidentally scratched up a few hens (if he does that with mine I'll get some hen saddles)
One strike and you're on the chopping block here, no second chances when small kids are involved with the chicken chores. We have had really nice americauna roos, and some nasty australorp and Wyandotte roos. Have a plan! Is great advice
I have 17 pullets, 2 guinea fowls, and looks like 1 rooster. Another week or two they'll be ready for coop. Is this equation a good idea or bad idea? Is it too many hens for the rooster and if so what would happen? How would the rooster interact with the guineas?
Rhode island reds and most leghorns are aggressive .
Starting up the playlist! I love hearing the crow of a rooster.
