    Renting farmland for chickens ?

    We would have coop put there i guess, but it’s an omlete make, completely portable and not stuck down to one area. no idea if that makes a difference.

    Renting farmland for chickens ?

    Hopefully this question belongs in this thread. We’ve currently been evicted, legally homeless, in Emergency Accommodation. My aunt is taking our 3 dogs in, as the EA won’t allow dogs in the building. The problem: We have 10 rescue roosters, 13 hens + 3 geese still currently on our old...

    10 roosters, 13 hens, 3 geese. All needing homes, we’ve been evicted, UK near Glous/Devon

    Welp. Never wanted to make this post but here we go. We have been evicted, no notice, and we need to get them off the property ASAP as the landlord is no longer tolerating them. Me, my mother and my brother are currently all staying in emergency accommodation, homeless. We can’t take them off...

    Looking to rehome roosters?

    thank you, i’d never thought id be losing my home of 7 years, let alone half my flock. we became a mini sanctuary for unwanted roos because we never thought we’d ever end up here.

    3month old welsummer sex

    i’m unsure of what gender this baby is!! she’s around 3.5 months old, and she only started developing these black feathers recently. temperament wise i would go 100% hen, she’s the friendliest baby i’ve ever raised if i’m honest. i’ll be devastated if she’s a roo, where we are right now if...

    Getting dogs used to new chickens

    I agree with a few of the other people who’ve replied, we had 2 dogs at the time we got chickens, we took them out only on leads with positive reinforcement when they showed no interest. after a few weeks of it, we cautiously ‘introduced’ them. just like when we introduced our 2 dogs, we made a...

    Weird noise coming from my hen

    We have a brahma pullet, she’s just over 3months old, and a few days ago she started making this very strange croaking noise. she sounds like a duck. Despite brahmas being listed as a quiet chicken breed, Bunny (the hen) has never shut up ever since we got her as a chick. it was never anything...

    Weird no crowing roos or masculine hens?

    I’ve made a few posts about these dudes, but something about how they behave puzzles me. My mother is still pretty sure atleast one of them is a girl (i’m not optimistic at all) but the fact that they’re almost 3 months old and neither of them have ever even attempted to crow??!?? every roo...

    Welsummer hen or roo?

    small update on these guys as you asked, they’re still super friendly which is pretty surprising as i’m quite sure they’re both roos, one of them keeps trying to fight our adult roo who’s like triple the size of him 😭 this is April : And this is the only pic of Coco i could get : Also! you...
