And he would have chooks his age to bond with? Awesome, looks great. I'm sure he will be happy there (once he gets used to the hustle and bustle). He has had all of mom's attention being an only, spoiled child lol I will message you my number and we can talk details. I really appreciate you...

Oh Esti that would be great! If you could send some photos that would be nice :) Gosh I'm getting a lump in my throat at the thought of giving him away, but I just can't have a rooster here :(

Hi everyone! Nice to find a little South African corner here :) I am in the Table View area of Cape Town. I'm hoping someone can help me find a home for my little roo Mr. Pepper (as a pet, not dinner). He is a mix of some sort. All I know is that his mom was a cochin cross. He was raised by...

It has been an eventful week for me and I have learned the hard way that cats are not to be messed with. I wonder what they have against chickens... The other day fluffy scaredy cat was stretched out in the warm sun having a snooze. I thought of joining him for a nap, but decided to rather...

Anyone have any ideas at all?

I got some photos of the chickens that might be her parents. 3 hens (2 buff and 1 dark) and 2 roosters are brothers and sisters. The one pictured below just hatched out 7 chicks. Her sister looks the same but instead of black, she has gray/blue feathers on her tail and neck. Both...

I work at a restaurant where there is a pond with ducks, chickens, geese, and rabbits. She somehow managed to be the only one to hatch from an abandoned nest. She ran like a crazy thing amongst all the people in the restaurant. None of the hens would take her on so she's been with me ever since...

Hello world, my name is Princess PiriPiri and this is my story so far. During a sizzling hot South African summer's day I fought my way out of the egg only to find that I was all alone. No mom, no siblings. no one to keep me safe. Just me and some eggs under a small bush. I peeped and peeped...

Anyone have any ideas?

I would love to get her a friend but only once we move to a new place in April. I don't think I can deal with double the chicken poo. She free-ranges our whole flat so it's constant clean-ups lol The cats will hate me even more when there are 2 but they will have to deal with it!

Oh yes, she's almost 5 weeks old now. She was 175g at 4 weeks.

I wonder why... this new Photobucket just isn't agreeing with me!

I found this little one at work (a restaurant with a pond, ducks, chickens and rabbits). She (I call her a she all the time because I really want her to be a she!) was wandering around peeping by herself, running under people's feet, so after a while we put her into a hutch to see if mommy would...

Hi all! I live in Cape Town, South Africa and a month ago I took in an orphaned 1-day old chick to foster. Needless to say I've grown very attached to my Princess PiriPiri and we are now moving to a flat with a garden. I look forward to learning more about chickens as this is my first one.
