I have a black copper maran he runs Up to me dancing around he never has attacked me and has protected me from a rooster who attacked me and was trying to attack me again the problem is I don't trust him around my grandchildren or me at time's I have had chicken's for a year I'm not sure what to do with him any suggestions ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The ducks rule that roost!

Good info

Great advice. I see so many men try to show who’s boss, just to show what? Only makes thing worse. Kindness always pays off.

I grew up on a farm as oldest. All chores were mine, and have had best luck with flock raising from babies. Recently had to deal with very aggressive black rooster, (belonging to neighbor)and would try to run up on me from behind. I wasn't afraid of him, but got to point I was carrying broom around. He would literally see me across yard and come running at me, a got into batting position with broom. Rooster no longer with us.

As a 6 ft 200 pound man, roosters don't mean anything to me. Guess I forgot being 4 years old, and having a rooster terrorize me. That old rooster would watch for me to come out of the house, and come running to spur my calves, and peck at my rear end as I ran away. Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with any aggressive roosters when my own children were young. Today, the smallest person around is my wife, and I guarantee that any rooster would only attack her once. You can't talk to Mama with a shotgun in her hands!! (Carole King - Smackwater Jack)

I have a sweet rooster. Easy to handle

I like a fella that thinks like me. I also like to pick stuff up on the side of the road. Don't believe me. Ask my wife. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Seramas are very sensitive and very small, even for silkies. They should be separate from larger chicks and need smaller crumble. I water my chick crumble down to help them eat. I would even put in a thermometer to make sure they are not too cold. I’ve only ever lost one. They are so different from ordinary chicks.

Fix the floor of the coop before they break their legs. 🙄

I've got a black copper boy that was a stinking handful for a while. He was wanting to jump me anytime I got in striking distance. And he was the sweetest of them all when he was young before the hormones came along. Took a while but he has finally settled down and don't have any problems with him anymore. His big brother was a huge help with that too. Rooty is my number one. Very thoughtful and calculating bird. But he covered my back when Chester was being so bad and kept an eye on him and would jump him and kick his butt anytime he started to make a move on me. None of them like to be held or handled much at all but still spoiled none the less. Rooty is in my face all the time wanting treats and insists that I bite almonds in half before giving them to him. Gets pissed and may even bite me if I don't. lol Not often I test him. That honker will pull a blood blister in a hurry. lol He did hit me in the back one time. I yelled at him before turning to face him. Thought it was his little brother again but when I turned to face him he backed up looking hurt. I sure was when I realized who it was cause I instantly knew why he hit me. He was protecting a young bird I had just introduced to the flock and it was screaming like I was killing it when I picked it up. Felt bad for yelling at Rooty for doing his job. But we got past it and I'm more mindful he knows what I'm doing with any of the other birds he watches over. No issues like that since. Got my hands on some Blue Coppers this year. Man I'm enjoying those birdies a pile too. Sure nuff beautiful birds, same awesome characters. That's my goal with the Marans, to wind up with all three colors, Black, Blue and Splash. On the other side of the fence I've got Self blue Ameraucana's, Boy that's a whole nother ball of wax but another kind of awesome bird that's a joy to have around.

I'm on my third hatch with a broody! Haven't lost one chick and have 100% hatch rate. She's sitting on 7 right now. Had 2 broodies from my first Gen welsummers and this current broody is one that hatched last November

Too funny 😂

There is a new updated version of if that works very well

Your olive egger looks like my black star hen.

I agree. Silkies are worth keeping just because it is so much easier than mucking around with incubators and stuff.

My 2016 ford escape radio looks different :[

Sorry about your roo. 🐔Glad your hens are safe. 😊

Rooster is taking his time alone to get healed dont want to b get even bothered recouping from pain but owner has to do a welfare check now & den

Sad untimely demise of rooster vry right track Mr u on to getting a new rooster so egg laying & not eating dem disciplined hens wont miss him longer gudluk on ur rooster hopping mission

I bet your rooster went down fighting. Doing his job. Good man. I hope you find just the right replacement. Thanks for sharing.

Possums kill chickens?

Nice little barn for your girls. We had an automatic door shut a chicken out. My husband noticed when he went to check on them before bed. Thank goodness nothing got to her. Sorry about your rooster.

My silkie rooster was aggressive. 😂

How did you find a replacement for that thing you took out? What is it called again? It it an audio control module? And does it require programming after you plug it back in or is it plug and play like you did?

I had a white Americana that got killed by a hawk

I was surprised to come across this video because I happen to have an order of 21 female and 2 male Black Copper Maran chicks that will be here un a couple days. Thanks for sharing your encouraging thoughts that go along with my hopes that I chose a good all-around breed to be the bulk of my flock. BTW, I had a Welsummer cock that was a holy terror and the Polish cocks I have now are useless, so glad to hear your recommendations about these boys.

Nice!

He seems alot more livly and alert.❤

that is great content~ have a ince day~;)

My Black Copper Maran is my favorite too. She follows me around the house like a little penguin. She loves to cuddle and watch Matlock.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Done 👍🏼🇸🇦

Perhaps Leghorns are kindlier.

Thabks for the info. I dont have chickens yet, but hopefully this year so this kind of information is helpful

I'm curious if an old cabinet style smoker would work also

What impressed me is the effort you are putting on your channel. It's hard for we beginners, but you have tried to be consistent despite the poor views. I have just sub. One day I will be like you.

Glad your roo is doing better.

I love the little ladies enthusiasm.

Ooooooo been thinkingn of one for a long time.

We have heavy hawk predation here.I went to all black chickens. Australorps, Black jersey giants and Marans. I also put up white poultry netting, making a long narrow run to make it harder for hawks to dive in and get out. I bought a few crow decoys and owl decoys with the heads that move in the wind. I put them on the fence near the chicken run. Its been about 3 months since I changed the setup. So far so good.

Um, I watched all the way through the last bit and the chickens never pecked the wood block. How did you train them to peck at the block? I did build one of these myself and made several revisions to it, but I either ended up with no pellets in the little tray (as some designs online have) so no interest from the hens, or a great pile of pellets because every peck brought more pellets down.

why he so small tho

When you said " n' I don't wanna deal with it" 😂😂😂 great video thanks for sharing!

Awesome design! Nice informative video without too much needless talking. Did it help against the mice?

Metal washer might help
