Due to life things, I have had to move to where I can't have chickens any longer. A friend was keeping my last two, and one of them died yesterday. I hate the idea of that last lady being alone, and would love to find her a new place with company. Due to her breed and age (5 yrs), she is a...

Our set up is like this: We have a huge back yard that is entirely fenced by 7-ft wooden fencing. We can get to it through the garage and out the side door, or through the gate on the side of the house. Our original 6 chickens have free run of the back yard, and this has worked well for the 3-4...

I have 6 established ladies who sleep in the coop at night, no problem. Ok, one of them perches on top as if she's standing guard, but she's a big girl, so I don't worry about her. I got two babies this year, and at about 2 months old, they refuse to go to sleep in the coop or even the run...

Some of you know about Oddball, the strange little rooster I have. If not, you can see his story here in the forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=172453&p=1 He's gotten too aggressive (and loud) for me to be able to keep him, and I'm looking for a new home for him. I...

During the spring, I worked in a farm store. I took home a strange little chick that came in, along with 6 other chicks. The odd one (named Oddball) turned out to be a rooster. I live in town, but thought I could figure something out - I started storing him in the garage at night so he...

I live in town, and just gave my two silkies to a more rural friend because one turned out to be a boy (he told me at about 5:25am yesterday) and they are sort of a matched set. She offered to trade for two of hers. They'd be about the same age as mine, but different breeds. I've got two...

I've got docleaf growing around where my half-growns are, and they seem to like it. Does anyone know if it's harmful to them? I tried googling, but all I got were recipes...

I work at a big ol' farm store, I made it all the way through chick season last year without taking any home. This year, I didn't make it. I have 6 so far, with probably another on the way. 2 silkies, 2 araucanas, a sicilian buttercup and a turken. The "on the way" is still at work, he's a...

revamped my chicken area yesterday, and got some nice pictures. Two silkies in the middle, on the far left a turken, in the back the araucanas, and buttercup on the right. My turken. She's liking the new (and freshly cleaned) space, I think.

I work in a farm store, and today we got in a shipment of chicks with an odd one - it's smaller than the others, has stubbly light yellow feathers, and what looks like red curly hairs sprinkled around. I can post a picture later, but I wondered if anyone had an idea of what this is - an odd...
