Good you were able to help it, I've heard of people having to use come-a-alongs to get stuck calves out and most of the time the momma don't fair so well.It was me, my mother and my aunt. Dad was at work and my brothers were at school. I was home sick. Lucky me. But we damn sure didn't want to lose that milk cow. She was a beautiful Jersey with a sweet temperament. The calf turned out to be an ornery shit.
We got the calf turned around, SO GROSS, and then used a rope to help get it out. Calf and mother were fine.
Best piece of advice: Keep the hawk/falcon away from the chickens. Do you want chickens for pets, eggs or meat?
Get Rhode Island Reds and some Araucanas. Do a lot of research. Like cannabis, chickens do need supplements. Some for egg shell density and others for the health of the chickens. Chickens are immensely stupid and you have to keep an eye on them even in a coop. They will peck each other to death.
Roosters can mean so no more than two, I had a hen that got her comb ripped off by multiple roosters trying to breed her and her scalp was showing and all bloody. I thought she would die but I brought her in a few days and put her on a newspaper and fed here rice so she managed to survive.
You won't want a rooster around if you plan on collecting eggs, unless you don't mind eating fertile eggs.

My neighbor had roosters . This one rooster was in a field with about ten cats all around him and a guy said to me how come the cats don't just gang up on him and eat him . Anyone who knows roosters would know that the rooster would be more likely to eat those cats up quick . A rooster is a fighting bad ass animal and those cats knew it .
My Catohoula bulldog Goes out and wrestles with our biggest rooster. It's pretty funny but the bulldog knows his limits and won't hurt the rooster.
So, is it possible to do both or is that a huge clusterfuck? I would like to have chickens for both purposes but would not enjoy my eggs to have rooster manjam included.
He is in prison - big surprise . For rape and burgulary .
You'd have to keep them separated, that's really the only way I can think of doing it. I keep my hens in a coup and the roosters roam free.
This is fucked up. I'm with WW, I'd follow him. But I'd probably boil him in a 55 gallon drum of hot oil once I found him. =)
So, do the roosters actually sex the hens to fertilize the eggs or is it more like fish do it? I've never heard of chickens getting it on.
