h2oratt and pilatik: Let me know how it goes! Happy that my hen may have a new friend from the Bay area! A picture or two would be awesome. I miss my hen at the back door every morning. Hope she is behaving?!

HI: If you want to pass your hens onto H2oratt, I can vouch for her, as it was my Barred Rock that she picked up just yesterday. Great family and they know chickens. (That's funny you mention the hen crowing...mine did that a few times...not at the crack of dawn or anything. I read it's a...

I was reading that you should keep them apart for a month in the event of any illnesses. Here's the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/adding-to-your-flock.47756/

Yes it will fit in a pick up truck. We originally brought it home in a pickup but don't have that truck anymore. Dimensions are: 68" high (at highest point) X 41"sq wide. The roof comes off. Fencing is a series of posts and wire: about 40' worth. I also have a food bin filled with 25lbs of...

Great Thank you! We are around all weekend too.

Hi If you are still interested, you can have the coop and the fencing. I just want her to be with a flock and in a healthy environment I do not have a way to transport all the stuff though so you would have to come and get her. Let me know! Thank you!

hi Would you be able to pick her up in Foster City? It's near 92 and 101 on the Peninsula.

I had 2 hens and one died yesterday. I'm considering re-homing the remaining hen so she isn't lonely. A neighbour has 4 hens and another has 10. I'm concerned about my hen's position in the pecking order. How do they sort it out? Will my hen be OK in a new home?

Ok I just didn't want to imagine her in a pot! Let me get back to you tomorrow. There is some interest here in my hood too. Thank you!

Her friend had not been laying for a few weeks, and it's been extremely hot here, and the jealous dog went after her yesterday when she came into the house. So I"m not really sure what she died of....maybe heat exhaustion or maybe stress. What do you do with all your hens?

We have a beautiful egg producing Barred Rock hen. She's super friendly and social. Yesterday she lost her best friend, an Americana. We cannot get more hens at this time so I am looking for a new home for her with a few other hens. We have the whole set up of coop and run, so all that can be...

Thanks for this thread. We found the very same thing today...I thought another bird had laid in there! Does anyone know if it is edible? .

I love this site. I just noticed the same on our girl today and also thought it was an ingrown feather! Thanks!

Sorry to hear.
