Very interesting to all of us that loves the farming life God bless you on that you do witch is a good thing 🙏❤️🐓🙏

[@pamelamayfield7496]

Too many roosters for the amount of hens .

[@TheFewellHomestead]

it has nothing to do with the amount of roosters in this situation. We've had chickens long enough to know when one of our roo's is just plain ignorant.

[@kyliefan7489]

You have WAY too many roosters per hen. Its 10-12 hens per single rooster. You culled that rooster but you were driving him insane. Bad human

[@muddyrockfarm822]

Thank you for this video, I have a bad rooster (although he was friendly as a baby), who’s been attacking people and our other rooster. I was really hoping that it was just a faze he was going through. Because growing up we had roosters that were mean during puberty and then they were good again. But this one is just getting worse, and I think it’s time for me to say goodbye and stop dragging my feet about it.

[@kkschickensandhomestead2623]

I have about 20 roosters and 140 hens. They get along good. I'm lucky. I do have one rooster I have to keep penned wit his hens, all the roosters pick on him and he's a wimp. He left a silkie beat him up and he's a buff orpington lol. He's the first rooster and oldest one too. Your roosters are so pretty.

[@suzannelove]

Wow lots of roosters. .. how do you handle their crowing???

[@sonya3772]

He is absolutely beautiful! the colors are so rooster-like..lol I am glad he was able to bounce back. I actually ended up with a rooster when I purchased what I thought was all hens. Thankfully I was able to re home him with a family that needed a new rooster for breeding so it was a win-win. I have heard horrible stories about how bad it can go but also have heard amazing stories about how kind and calm other roosters can be.

[@TheFewellHomestead]

Yes! We've had mostly calm roosters.

[@idiotwilson1474]

when I was younger I had guard roosters. They were crazy but they kept trespassers off our yard. hahaha

[@aldenunion]

I have two Roosters and two hens, need more hens but did not want to risk getting sick ones so was told to wait until spring. My two Roosters get along,both Barred Rocks, one is brutal and attacks like a guard dog.. Many predators here,hawks,coyotes,bobcats, racoons,skunks,bear, you name it.. The aggressive Rooster I let him be tough to protect.

[@Joe.M]

I had a man fighter Rooster. Took him to a friends farm where his flock is free range. Figured I give him a 50/50 chance to survive. A predator did eventually get him. Just took another Rooster to the farm. He was really rough with the hens. Most of them had their back feathers missing. I do have a little Bantam rooster. He's feisty but harmless.

Thank you for all the info. I am just learning about rooster and chickens.

I'm new to your site, and absolutely love how you explain everything in such great detail. So glad I found you!

Thanks for following

[@PeacewoodHomestead]

Walter, my Plymouth Rock Rooster was the biggest yet most docile Roo. When the other two, "punks" started teaming up on my boy, I put them one in the freezer and another in the crock pot. Walter is still king of the yard and I know this sounds crazy, but I actually feel like he is grateful to me. He's my boy. LOL. This was an awesome video!

[@TheFewellHomestead]

yep!!!! Thanks for watching, friend!

[@idiotwilson1474]

whoa poor baby. Glad he's ok.

Great video. Very informative! I’ll never and have never had roosters but this was still interesting! Thank you for taking such good care of your animals!💖💖💖

[@kevdilligaf7432]

So why do you keep that many roosters? The younger one's will try and take over .

[@stg_king9787]

I have had 2 roosters and they both attacked how do you know how to get a good rooster? Are they all like that??? Should I try and get a baby rooster and take care of him by him self would that help?

[@teresa-greeneyes3886]

my rooster attacks me. he came through the nest box the other day and jump out on me. quite a scare for me. I did manage to get him back into the pen. wow. I think he might go.

[@jakefarm1067]

+Amy Fewell - The Fewell Homestead it's not like a rooster will kill you grow up

[@Dragonstalon1001]

Around what time would you generally cull your extra Roosters? How many Weeks/Months old....

[@TheFewellHomestead]

I would say 12-16 weeks would be ideal. If you want more meat (if you're planning on eating them), then around the 5-6 month mark. But around 6 months old, they begin to mature.

[@Dragonstalon1001]

The Fewell Homestead Thank You for the Information. Have a Happy New Year : )

[@yawarabid742]

hey i brought a new hen and the rooster first gave her a warm welcome but he is now killing her why please answer

[@AvatarArkmage]

I wonder if it might be because she was not willing to mate with him every time he wanted it, at the second he wanted it? I ended up accidentally getting roosters(was sent them when we ordered pullets)and ended up separating each of them from the hens. The first one was okay, until when a hen refused him, then he beat the hen up, and then would beat her for no reason. We separated him from the flock. Now with no rooster, the hens are happy as can be.

[@gerrykehoe9807]

you don,t know.

[@cindyshain3430]

I held my Rooster all the time as he was growing and he was so sweet.. then he turn nasty and attacks all the time.. i cant even get near him. he came at my husband and was kicked a couple times and wont go near him now . Im not looking to bread so I think its time for the pot! :-(

[@Bart-Did-it]

Three types of Rooster The Gentle men = looks after the girls The Rapist = covers them to Death The Gay = not interested in covering , protecting and or sorting out the lady’s problems so trouble brews etc best to raise him tame as is tame as a cat takes time but gotta start from shell to adult . Sorry you had trouble ☹️ how is it now 😊

[@littlepetkingdome7492]

I've never had a rooster befor but this is something I've always wondered if there's only one rooster could the hens not like him and hurt him? Sorry if its a dumb question😂

I'm getting a rooster from my cousins husband. he's gonna shoot it if I don't take it. It's been causing problems for him.

[@idiotwilson1474]

but the rooster isn't mean

[@liannebenn2097]

I am not scared of animals but I used to have a rooster who was terrifying. My husband liked him and I should have understood that divorce was in my future. Now I have one cock and two hens and he is an amazing gentleman. If one of the hens is laying he always stands next to her like a bodyguard. Is that usual?

[@MrJrsdts]

You should referred to that one rooster as a Hen! Remember the political correct crowd. Do you ever trim your rooster spurs? You can twist them off with a pair of pliers.

[@zackcox1249]

have you thought about getting guinea hens?pls wright or talk back on the vid

[@TheFewellHomestead]

I have, but they are much too loud for the property we are currently on. There are other houses near us, and I don't think they would appreciate that haha

[@zackcox1249]

ok

[@tellitlikeitiso4192]

Your chicken pen is a mess, no need for a rooster.

[@yurrrrrr7221]

This is the definition of a poor understanding of of how wildlife asserts dominance ur so called bad rooster challenged the alpha of the flock and they started fighting and it sounds like the “bad” rooster had won in this situation u don’t cull the rooster because he challenged the alpha if anything u keep that rooster because he is the one that will protect ur flock no matter what I had the same situation my rooster had reigned over my flock for 3-4 years and a hatchling from that spring challenged him and won and I didn’t cull him I simply let them be because they are barn yard breeds they don’t fight to death like game fowl roosters will u gotta let nature take its course and the whole thing about them sneaking up behind ur hens u gotta give them a good year to truly learn after that they’re fine and do there job very well but take it as a learning experience

[@T3rrestris]

In my opinion there are two types: aggressive rooster should be put into chicken soup and schnitzel, horny rooster should be worshiped and make fertile eggs for babies.

[@ChickaWoofRanch]

I agree. A bad rooster needs to go immediately. Especially when you have young children.

I think today gets good lessons from your videos first it's chickens must be have gentle roosters which not aggresive to others members flock anyone I had several roosters in the past who were means to Athens and even my92 years old grand mother we called them but They had scared me others so I'm became timidly of roosters even I saw my God rooster trying defend their territory I am wanted seeing them fight to death so how can remove the fear from from bad memories about bad roosters I'm not enjoying the blood battle it's broken my heart I was 10 years old that memories it's still on my 5
