I’ve got 4 ready-to-lay pullets that I’d love to keep, but we just have too many right now. That chicken math is no joke. I’m looking for a new home for them in the bay area. I’m at the Santa Clara / Sunnyvale border in California. They hatched on January 6th, so as of posting they’re 17-1/2...

Hello Backyard Peeps! I'm still fairly quiet here, but here's the situation I've gotten into: 1. I work at a preschool. 2. Someone at the preschool decided "Oh hey let's hatch eggs to show the kids!" 3. I was put in charge of the incubator because I've "had birds before." Apparently parrots...
