We finally get to introduce our rooster, Fonzie, to our hens! His quarantine is over and we are excited to learn as we go. Introducing a new chicken will always lead to some pecking order scuffles, but roosters can be a bit extra tricky.
Thank you for watching!

Fun fact when a rooster pecks the ground and starts peeping and looks around walks around, its trying to get a hen to come over to mate it

Oh really? I hadn’t heard that. I always heard they are supposed to do a little dance, but I have yet to see that.

@@Growing_Groceries (I made this comment 6 months ago and I kinda found out more) but I guess when a rooster starts pecking the ground like there’s food there and when it starts peeping it’s telling the hens there’s food here so it can do the dance to impress the hen I guess. Or when the hen is distracted by (I guess food or its looking for it) the rooster makes it move and jumps onto the hen to mate the hen

Thanks for sharing your video. We just bought a nine week old rooster for our 12 girls so I’m watching so many videos on how to introduce him. I’m glad I came across your channel

Excellent looking rooster You are keeping different breeds of chickens but brought one rooster Will you breed further chicks?

@Growing_Groceries Жыл бұрын

I will hatch out some barn yard mix chicks this spring. I’m not concerned with keeping the breeds “true”. I actually think the mixes are more fun because you never know what they will look like. If my concern was hatching chicks to sell, that would be a different story.

@@Growing_Groceries I am currently having chicks of RIR There are total 12. Two are male and other female. But colorful flock looks more attractive. I am not sure how to maintain the multiple breeds together and at the same time have the pure breed

I have chickens that are mixed with Americana. Some of them are pretty big. I was told they are Easter Eggers. We’ll see. I have no idea how many eggs to expect from these hens. I am incubating six more eggs to see what I get again. I am in the process of building my flock! This is my second flock. My first was a flock of nine, three each of black Austrolorps, Buff Orpington and Barred Rocks. The Orpington and the Barred Rocks got big. The Austrolorps didn’t get as big and weren’t my favorites. They were very skittish and unfriendly.

How many chickens do you have? Total not meaning any disrespect, but the run seems small.

@Growing_Groceries Жыл бұрын

I have 8 chickens and the run is 10’x20’. They don’t stay in there 100% of the time though. Only when I’m not home or if I have my dog outside as she is still a bit jumpy around them :)
