I'm in Pitt County, east of Raleigh and Wilson.

It appears that I will need to rehome some cockerels in the near future (they're 5 weeks old). They are purebred Speckled Sussex bantams, originally purchased as 3 day old chicks from an NPIP AI clean breeder. They're being hand raised to promote friendliness.

If you're interested just let me know and I'll put you on a list. Once I choose which one is staying I'll post pictures of the others.

I am not using Craigslist as I don't want someone to abuse/use them for fighting.

Hey y’all! In Graham NC.. I’ve been an aunt for many years and I’m finally getting my own flock (4 ISA browns).. have to build a coop as quickly and cheaply as possible (but I want my flock to be spoiled girls!) I’ll be here often looking for tips, tricks and all around advice!

Hi NC! We need to rehome our single, very depressed Pekin duck. Wake County.

He lived happily with a group of ducks on a pond at my work for a long time. Then this most recent mating season, with a 8 drake to 1 hen ratio (eek!), put him as the lowest on the totem pole and he was getting bullied and injured. We took him home on a "respite" temporary basis to give him a break. He was happy and spoiled and healed well, so we brought him back to the pond. His former friends immediately beat him bloody - repeatedly!! So we brought him back home to keep him safe, but now he is severely depressed: lethargic, not eating, stays in his coop all day. (He's been given medicine and has his wounds cleaned reguarly.)

We are not equipped to take on another duck or give him the large free roaming space he truly needs. We're renters, totally green to duck caregiving, and thought we were just going to be a rest stop for him. He cannot go back to the pond. We adore him and want him to have the life he deserves! Help!
