Our rooster just constantly screws one of our hens to the point she has lost a good amount of feathers. Going to try and add more hens soon to give him some more variety...
It'll probably still be his favorite. Check into a chicken saddle is she's rrally bald on her backOur rooster just constantly screws one of our hens to the point she has lost a good amount of feathers. Going to try and add more hens soon to give him some more variety...
Never even heard of such a thing but buying some now. She's pretty much bald right now. He mounts her 2-3x a day. Wife kinda wants to get rid of him but he's pretty chill around us, does a good job protecting the flock, the neighbors love hearing him etc.It'll probably still be his favorite.

FWIW, I've lost as many hens with the rooster as without. I don't miss hearing his stupid ass at 0400 and all the hens have grown their feathers back.Never even heard of such a thing but buying some now. She's pretty much bald right now.

The neighbors rooster is the brother to the one we had. They're 200ish yards away and those 2 would start at 0400 and go until dark. Stupid australorp SOB wouldn't shut up. I don't hear the other one that much anymore. As for chicks, out of 21 hens we have not a single one is broody.I dont miss hearing ours either. Still hear the neighbors, when Im outside. I have thought about getting another, as I would like to stop buying layer chicks.

Other than occasionally broody, how do you like your buffs? Wife is wanting some buffs and/or wyandottes this spring.We have 1-2 Buffs that will go broody on occasion. We also have 3 silkies that take turns being broody. For that reason, they have their own coop, so they dont rub off on the other birds.
I have no reason not to like them really. They only go broody about 1-2 times per year. I hear it is hit or miss with them. They are pretty skiddish, but Im not looking for pets. I like them more than my leghorns but less than the delaware and comets. Im wanting to get some brahmas, but the wife isnt onboard. Will likely be something that lays a chocolate egg.Other than occasionally broody, how do you like your buffs? Wife is wanting some buffs and/or wyandottes this spring.
Yeah it is made to move on the skids. All of the 4x4 bottom wood is lagged together and has angled braces, very tough so far. I move it with the tractor, the coop replaced drums where they were sleeping until recently.very nice. They will likely start perching on top of your roof, as they like to get as high as possible.
Also, plan to throw some wood chips in there, as they will decimate the grass pretty quick, unless you are planning to drag it around.
Any advice on how to get our rooster to stop attacking me? He's fine with pretty much everyone else but me. He's a dick (but the videos are pretty hilarious after I catch my breath

Guy not far from you!dem make some great brown eggs! where did you get them?
I used to have a Buff Orpington rooster who was a terror. They are typically friendly but that butthole would jump in the air and kick you 4 times on the way down. I gave him to a dude who needed a big aggressive bird.Any advice on how to get our rooster to stop attacking me? He's fine with pretty much everyone else but me.

My mom can pick him up & carry him around with no issues. Meanwhile, he'll hide under a vehicle & attack me.
