Hi all,
My wife and I need to re-home our 3 beautiful hens due to family circumstances. They were hatched in February 2021 and are regular layers and fairly polite birds. The two different breeds are:
Golden Laced Wyandotte (2)
Mystic Moran
The Mystic Moran - whose name is Marilla - is pretty...
Hello!
I bought 5 Silkie chicks last spring and wouldn’t you know that 4/5 are boys.
My one little lady is getting her feathers pecked out and the boys are starting to brawl.
They were all hatched April 11. The pictures are a few weeks old…they all have big wattles now, and are quite clearly...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I raised chickens in rural Connecticut in the late 1980s, but stopped when I moved back to Chicago. I restarted the chicken obsession in 2017 when one of my daughter's school friends had baby chicks but had no idea how to care for...
So, we were trying to increase our roo/hen ratio, and I kept underestimating our success and potential for bad luck...we had a huge hatch rate (15 out of 17) and a just bizarrely high number of roosters (only one hen is confirmed...we have only one bird we're not sure of... so 12 confirmed...
One of my two snowflake bobwhite quail that I hatched just a month ago, passed away last night. Seemed like it was peaceful, in his sleep. I'm devastated. 😢
I have no clue if it's even possible, but would anyone have any idea where I could even start looking to find a place/individual that...

Hello, and thank you so incredibly much for reading this. I am wondering how old my chicks have to be to go into the big girls coop. They are already fine with each other (which is great!!!!) so I am just wondering about weather and temperatures. I live in Illinois, and this weekend, my chicks...
I need a new home for my pet mourning dove, 18 weeks, female, hand raised since birth. Chicago area will come with Cage and a bag of food with everything included in cage, best offer^
Hi!

Hope to learn lots and share my information.
Thanks!
I am in the midst of working to legalize backyard hens in my town (a suburb of Chicago). I've got a small group of volunteers, an ongoing petition with 350 signatures from residents, and a few supportive aldermen. We failed in city council 2 years ago but are back with some new aldermen and I am...
Hi all, just received a panicked call regarding this poor red chick with a leg issue. Could be broken or a tendon problem, but this poor little guy is part of a school hatching project and needs a home ASAP. My flock is full, but I'm willing to get him/her and drive a but to ensure a good home...

Setting eggs with my son's class this week. Can't find the egg turner!!! If anyone has one for sale or to lend, I need it ASAP. Hyde Park area, can drive. Might have a lead on one in the suburbs but closer is easier!
Thank you! Happy Spring, happy Easter!
I am looking for a few more silkies to add to our flock of 6. We upgraded the coop and have room for a few more. Most online sites require multiples to be shipped.
