    What poultry product do you wish you had?

    I had one like that, but it was a Sultan... If put with a hen, it crowed, if put with a roo, it layed eggs. Still don"t know what it was, but don't have that breed anymore.

    Fledgling Pigeon

    Hearing of Hector's first freedom flight is truly uplifting! Most likely he/she will remember your kindness and return, with a mate next year. Maybe you will prepare with a nice nest box somewhere with a rim to prevent falls... They are fond of nesting on ledges of various types... Make it a...

    Fledgling Pigeon

    Be careful about over-feeding him! You don't want him to be too fat to take flight! Most likely, if he survives, he will return to the area to mate and nest... Pigeons are amazing birds and very smart in many ways and I am sure he will find his way back, though you may never be sure it is...

    Review by 'BreanneRN' in article 'What To Do With Unwanted Cockerels'

    For those that read the 2 star review, stating that only gamefowl are used for fighting, be aware that those gamefowls go through lengthy training sessions before put "in the ring". Your rehomed cockerel would not be used for ring fighting, but training fodder for the up and coming gamefowl...

    LOS ANGELES county CA under bird quarantine :(

    Or, maybe the chickens weren't there because they died.... and the people didn't clean up very well. Back to square one, this is like the "never ending story" and not in a good way.

    Great pictures! Glad to see it! They have an incubator to go with it on ebay now, but it is pricey... Amazing that it still has directions on it, which should be helpful... Would be a great thing for those who have embraced the "off grid" lifestyle!

    LOS ANGELES county CA under bird quarantine :(

    This is disturbing on multiple levels... Why are they able to sell chickens in a quarantine zone (first). Second, how were they able to remove them before the CDFA came??? (were they pre-warned of the visit by someone with "inside knowledge"?) Third, how did they find VND if there was...

    This one is a thread here, it really is kerosene heated, I think...https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/updated-with-new-pictures-old-incubator.301680/ It says it is an incubator, but they aren't really sure.

    Vintage Metal Brooder

    Don't think it is either of those, since one is electric and the other I don't think has heat at all, just a place for mother and chicks to live safely... Sure wish I could go back in time and do some shopping, though... If you do a google search, you can find threads on this forum that you...

    What breed is the quietest roo?

    My Cochin rooster is quiet and calm, but not saying they all are... He also, like Brahmas, has a lower deeper voice, which sounds less annoying than the shrill, screechy, roos. He doesn't crow excessively, is good to his girls, and doesn't overbreed them. I don't recommend the Speckled Sussex...
