Roosters and breeding - your questions answered 

My rooster doesn't do much courting, he just jumps on the nearest hen - usually when they've just been given their daily corn ration and are running around trying to hover up as much as possible. He does have one favourite hen though and he gives her any treats first. He's courteous at least in that part!

This was a wonderful video, at first I thought it was going to be all reading but was pleasantly surprised with your clear and delightful voice.

Perfect explanation! So they dont have a peepee. Thats so interesting. I wish my roosters were more gentle. It makes me sad to see my pretty birds getting roughed up losing feathers. My beautiful lady Starfire is worse for wear than id like..but...she definitely was rhe prettiest!

Great info, and you have answered my question . Thank you so much!

fascinating stuff. thank you

3:47 This was really cool to learn, because I've heard both of those sounds in my city. A lot of people have chickens, even though I live in the city so it's cool to know why there was a difference in sound.

Excellent video ma’am !!! Thank you !!!

Thanks.... your v7deo was informative but also enjoyable as well...

extremly informative

Lovely video..thank you.

Great video ❤

Great video. I always wondered how it happened 😂

Two additional questions regarding chicken's reproduction 😁: - does the hen keep laying eggs after her chicks have just hatched? - if not, how long does it take for her to start laying eggs again after raising chicks? Thank you again for this amazing channel! 🙏😊

Thank you.

You are excellent....

I’m here out of morbid curiosity. I’m on a ranch (it’s not mine, just a visitor ) where I think there are maybe too many roosters vs hens and there is this poor hen that the roosters really pick on. They will viciously chase her down, peck at her and try to mount as a gang. She’s got a bald spot and hides away from the flock often, just looks real beaten up. I’ve tried to tell the owner but they do nothing to help her 😢 💔I give her some corn and shoo the rooster’s so she can some peace, for a little bit but I’m leaving soon… I hope to keep chickens someday when I have the space, I’ll pay closer attention to their relationships so they’re all happy ❤ Thanks for the education

Thank you, young lady! I really enjoy your videos and good information. Now, I understand better why my broodies are squirreling away eggs. We have such terribly hot summers and mild fall and spring weather. That’s why I have girls being broody as early as the first week in February! Guess I’d better pick a few eggs to mark now. Maybe they’ll be busy with their chicks and wait until fall before commencing to brood again. Thank you once again! Regards...

Fantastic

Ty!! New subscriber here!

this is so cool

I was just thinking yesterday that rosters are nature's wake up alarm.

Great information 👍🏻Can you mate a rooster to hens that were hatched from same batch ?

Thank you very much ....! You explain it clearly, I'm satisfied.. Btw, can you make a content about hatchery. I just started to hatch several eggs but somehow it died before it out from the shell. I try to crack a bit but doesn't help. They kinda premature and die less than hour. I'm frustrated and sad. But still continue the project.

Great video. What is the variety of the first hen?The crested blue one with the chicks?

Tanks. I have many boblem very tanks . I have two rooster and eingt8. Hen

Is there a way to tell of an egg has been fertilized? I would hate to eat an egg that could potentially be a baby chick! And on the other hand, I would hate to let an egg go waste if there is nothing in it. - Loved your video! Looking forward to watching more!

Sorry this is not a rooster question. I just got baby chicks from a farm store today. My Silkie just happened to go broody 2 days ago. I sneaked 5 of the chicks under her whale she was on her nest of two eggs that weren’t going to hatch (I read about doing this). Incredibly she acted like they were her own babies. Chirping at them and keeping them under her. And incredibly the baby chicks quieted right down and snuggled right under her. They were lil wild thing running around in the tote I had them in. Amazing nature? So I have read about how good silkies are at mothering chicks but I am still nervous. So she will not smother them accidentally (she is a small light silkie)?? She will keep them warm enough? Or do I need to put a heater in with them? She actually lives inside my home. I also wrapped half her cage in fleece (inside my home). I am in the states, Michigan, so it is winter here. I keep my home at around 65 degrees F. I did pull all 5 out from under her and put them at their food and water before putting them to bed (they do eat and drink). I checked and made sure they all went back to her and, incredibly, they all did. And their food and water is right next to her. I gave her food too and she drank out of their water. This is the first for me and I am nervous. Just want to make sure I am taking goos enough care of her and the chicks. I like your channel and respect you knowledge and experience. Thank you for any advice ❤️ 🐥

Waaaaoh, the last Information was awesome...I thought the Roosters needs to mate everyday to fertilize the next Egg "Sperm storage inside the female chicken". Allah is perfect in creation

Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙

Thank u for the information... I have a question can we recognize the eggs by just seeing at them that are they fertile or not As we wasted 18 and then again 12 eggs we thought they will hatch but it doesn't happen... So are we able to know by just looking at them that whether they are fertilizated or not

Hello! I got a Silver Laced Wyandotte, she is 5 weeks, and I’m scared, because her comb and wattles are red. But her feathers point all to hens, they are black with white lines in them, no white coverts on her wings yet and she is fast feathered, so everything besides her comb and wattles point to hen, is she a rooster or is she just red wattles/combed (her comb and wattles are small, just red) Edit: her comb is closer to orange, but her wattles are reddish

How do you feed the rooster something different than the hens when they are all together?

It must be nice to live where you have no predators that want to eat your chickens. We have a long list of them here in the southern U.S. I had a huge red tailed hawk paying a visit to my run recently. Fortunately I was out there and she stayed perched in a tree until she got impatient and went elsewhere. A couple hours later I had a frantic call from a beginning chicken keeper, a hawk had attacked her hen and would definitely have killed her and taken her away to consume had they not been close enough to chase the hawk away. She needed to know what to do and of course she needed to stop the blood loss. Corn starch is excellent for that. The hen was in bad shape for a week or two, but with the great care she got, she recovered. However the other chickens won't accept her back in the flock. It's almost as if they think she's a predator magnet. They quite happily lived together before the attack. I did tell the young woman to keep her in a crate inside the coop/run and treat her wounds there, don't take her away from her flock mates. She didn't take the advice and took her into the garage. She now has 2 coops and 2 runs.You can only offer the advice you've learned over the many years of keeping chickens, but you can't make them take it lol.

Tks for sharig, i have an Icelantic Rooster & 1 Icelantic hen, both about same age about 6 months old, plus 3 leg horns that are about 3yrs old, So will the leg horn chickens be a cross breed because the rooster is icelantic? & the icelantic eggs will be full icelantic chicks?

You have probably covered this somewhere but I have a question. Is inbreeding a concern with chickens?

In USA I give 20% protein Higher if I have more roosters and use them as meat.

Good morning

Do you have to wait for a certain time of year to mate chickens?

Hi there just a question, Is it okay to have one rooster for a flock of four hens but our flock has different breeds such as the Sussex and Hampshire

One thing I know about rooster that the will never attack me as I have three and tamed the two but the other one is a nice character anyway, the two that was attacking me I hit them with a thin piece of wood and they have been pretty good ever since except the one tried attacking again until hit him so hard his head nearly came off but he have been great ever since as the know I mean business, but on of my mates rooster was really vicious and my mate was fixing his jeep and for no reason it attacked him so he threw a hammer at him and he thought he killed it but after a while the rooster came around and started chasing and attacking him haha the fun of keeping roosters.

If you are breeding hens to one rooster and you change roosters how long does it take for the hens to be fertile to the new rooster

What do you do if you get a lot of roosters from the chickens eggs? Do people sell them or? I feel like they would fights or the rooster would kill them.

i have bovance chicken. i need to hatch pure bovance. which rooster should be use in order to get bovance chicken. thanks

I have a question how long dose it take for a new rooster to be able to fertilize a chicken that had a different rooster with them?

Hey. see my rooster has been stolen and I'm thinking of my neighbor he still has I was wondering whether I can use it to mate some of my hens but how many times a week? Because from what I learned from you sperm can last up to 6 weeks, which means maybe taking my hens to neighbor's rooster two times a week might be sufficient. Thank you so much. Regards

Ma'am...I have a question. I've got a hen from another flock. It has been laying eggs from a rooster from the previous flock. A rooster from my flock whose sperms I did not want my new gen to acquire has mated with her. Can I rest assured that the entire clutch she's laying until she broods will be from the rooster from the previous flock? Also if my favoured rooster mated with her though after the unfavoured one what are the possible outcomes? I'd really appreciate if you answered these queries.

What do you do once you hatch the first chicks and you still have the same rooster!? Won’t he eventually mate with his offspring and make inbreeds?

🥰🐔🐔🥚

Please l have a few questions to ask and l will be glad if l get feedback from you, Does it really matter on the kind of rooster to be introduced into the flock, or do l need to get a specific rooster for a specific hen

Hi I have 5 roosters and one was the alpha for many months and now all of a sudden he is being thrown around by a rooster whom he used to bully a lot.They are all similar in age.Any idea what happened to him?The alpha suddenly getting displaced and thrown around after many months of domination.I have kept him aside now in a separate coop for his own safety.

Can you eat fertilized eggs before development starts in them? Also, do they really taste any different than non-fertilized eggs?

10:20 Is 6 weeks same for *Aseel* breed (India) chickens ?

what will you do if your rooster hadrating

Is it possible for a hen to lay eggs without sperm ? How it is done in farms, because they have only hens not roosters ?

My last rooster was a thug and brutal rapist. No courtship dance. No warnings. Just ONE rooster to 21 hens -- also with an enormous fenced yard -- should have been easy and safe. But he never calmed down. He terrorized the more timid hens -- who starting huddling in the corners to try to be invisible. When that starting happening, combined with the wounds he kept inflicting on the poor girls, he was history. I feel sorry for hens housed with mean roosters. We have a vast number of predators and I could really use a good rooster to help protect them.

I dont have chickens but i thought owning pet chickens was kinda dumb, this video showed me theyre a complex pet

My rooster is trying to breed my 11 week old Americanas. I thought he had killed one so I separated him from them.

Another genetics question if you dont mind Are brahma chickens sex linked for feathers I.e slow feathering for male fast feathering for females ?

i have both?

How about if you switch roosters? How long until you can guarantee that the new roosters sperm has fertilised the eggs and not the original rooster?

love the immature rooster crows
