    Well, this is awkward - and not exactly 'livestock' (or a pet).

    I got a message on facebook from an old high school friend who knows I'm still into animal rescue. He'd hit a 2-3 day old fawn with his riding lawnmower, thought it had a broken leg, and asking if I could help. I did exactly enough research to find out that a-) it's young enough that the leg...

    Game birds are mean? Seriously?

    First of all I'm going to own up to it; When I was a kid, I had an uncle (now deceased) who kept a metric ton of game roosters - and fought them. Yes, I know it was cruel and today I'd be horrified, but as a small child all I knew was he had a yard full of really pretty birds with little...

    Yep. It's that time of year again.

    It's definitely, definitely kitten season. These guys were dropped on a family, unweaned, no mom, and hungry and dehydrated. We got them, bottle fed them, and they're sacked out in our bathroom. Another month and we can find them new homes. At least the little buggers are cute.

    Does anyone in SWVA want to split a hatchery order?

    I'm in Smyth County, but travel from Blacksburg to Honaker (Russell County) on a fairly regular basis. If no one in the area's interested in that: I still need a few LF pullets. I'd like Brahmas, EEs, Cochins, but I'm just not all that picky as long as they're girls. I want to give my...

    I thought I was going to sell my bantam cochins--

    then they started laying, and as my first hens to start giving me eggs -- ain't no way they're going anywhere. Not because I need the eggs that badly. But because I got so gleeful that I find the idea of selling the miraculous little things appalling. ...I will say that the screaming her head...

    Does anyone have pictures of a-

    good quality spangled OEGB roo? Or willing to take the time and tell me the major qualities I'm looking for? I can post so-so pics of my guy for nit-picking, but I'd rather just be able to see or hear what it is I need to look for in a really awesome bird. Thanks!

    Can anyone identify this plant?

    My youngest (autistic) son brought it home from school, which is nice, but he *didn't* bring home any information about it. Help?

    My best friend calls my BO my 'lap rooster'.

    She's not wrong. He even went to sleep there.

    I just got the *prettiest* little roo (pic)

    I couldn't, for the life of me, get a picture of the whole bird. Well, I got a couple but they were lousy shots and didn't do the little guy justice. He's an OEGB, and I got him from a BYC member. I honestly think he is the *prettiest* chicken I have ever seen. The plumage on the guy's just...

    Chicken meet Parrot. Parrot meet chicken.

    This is a 6 week old light bhrama rooster chick. I couldn't get a good picture, so I decided to use Constantine's playtop. It worked. Until Constantine looked up and said a very 'oh darn no', let himself out of his cage and came a stalking up. Constantine said 'gtfo'. Hedwig got the...

    So, each chicken needs 2 Sqft of space....

    That means that 3 birds need 6 square feet. That means that a 2X3 foot enclosure is big enough for them. REALLY? Not that I'm keeping three birds in a 2X3 foot coop, but. Am I doing something wrong here? Math never was my strong suit.

    WTB SW VA (24354)

    I am looking for 4 large fowl pullets. The breed matters very little to me, though I'd love to find some EEs. Mostly they just need to be *girls*. If anyone has any within about an hour or so from my zip (or 24260, where I travel often) let me know. Thanks!

    Sexing Light Brahma?

    I am *bad* at sexing any bird that doesn't have a single comb, so I'm hoping you guys will give me some insight here. Thanks! S/he is about 6 weeks old (I'm told)

    Chick in a food coma (pic)

    I decided to take some photos of one of my red-stars, to use as a comparison for how much their appearance has improved over the last week or so. To get the pictures I used a lot of food bribes (mostly their own food, but a few treats as well). By the time I was done getting shots, the chick...

    I don't even know what to think of this bird anymore...

    I don't know what his deal is, except maybe he was dropped on his head as a peep. Whatever it is though, he's got disciples. Really cute ones. Seriously, I didn't put either of them up there. They flapped, scrambled and climbed all by themselves. Then settled down and attempted to nap...

    My plans for tomorrow (gardening)

    I've had my vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and pumpkin) in for about a month. They're all doing really well, and I'm super proud -- this is my first garden as a grown-up, rather than helping my parents muck around with them. My husband is kind of apathetic...

    D'Uccle pair pics.

    They're still babies, but they're very pretty. They're also very, very flighty. So is my OEGB hen. Hopefully with age and attention they're calm down. Now I've shared at least one pic of all my flock. I can stop spamming you now ;-)

    Grow out pics of RSLs.

    I can not look at these guys without cracking up. They look HORRIBLE. They'll improve, I'm sure, but OMG ugly teenagerhood is ugly.
