Also, just saying, the police have real crimes to be worrying about. They HAVE to respond to your call. How much of a shame would it be if a robber got away or someone who harmed another person got away because you were worried about some kids playing music down the street. :hmm

I live in NY too and I see fires all the time. Hear people singing all the time. Hear people talking all the time - even gunshots, heaven forbid! And we don't even have any visible neighbors! But, guess what? No one's ever gotten hurt, my property has never been touched, my animals are fine...

They were probably around a week when we got them in June, so probably 4 to 6 months right now!

This is Bonnie & Clyde. We think they are both roos, which is fine as we live out in the country and mom loves crowing, oddly enough. I was just wondering if there's any chance they could be hens? Sorry the pics are so far away; they're very respectful of my space, and since we think they're...

She's actually a California White, which is a hybrid of a California Grey x (white) Leghorn. She is a favorite of mine, well and truly. So much personality - she's the only one who will come right up to a camera and stick her face in the lens, such a busybody. She's a great forager and seems to...

Hi there everyone! This is going to just be a place where I post my chickens. I really wanted a place to just dump photos / videos when I take them, so here we go! Let's start with my Australorp, who doesn't QUITE know how to express how happy sunbathing makes her appropriately :lau Here are...

Thank you for the advice everyone. I've gone ahead and messaged a couple of food banks near me. One of them serves free walk in breakfast on the weekends, hopefully they take fresh eggs! :wee

So... this is probably a weird question since most people are here looking up laws on selling eggs, but I'm wondering if any organizations accept dozens of donated eggs? I'm not even sure how I would go about it. I have a lot right now and don't really need any extra income from selling their...

Thank you @ronott1 ! :D

Okay this is going to be such a dumb question, but how do you go about donating to official contests? I'd love to give a small runner up prize for the contests with prizes / sponsor a membership. I'm just not sure how to go about it. I was also wondering if self-run contests are allowed to...

You're actually right and wrong. If you stopped someone from renting because they had an ESA, that's discrimination. So long as there is proper documentation, they can be housed in any (proper) housing with their owners. So long as the owner can own the animal (so no exotics/etc), and the animal...

I have two silkies, but they weren't raised any differently from my other chooks. They don't really seem any different. :confused: Maybe it's just because I never really treated them differently? I kinda just expected them to be chickens. They're not any more or less smart, they know how to do...

Pet rats! My time has come! Things always go in and out of fashion with pets, but my go-to was always oxbow's rat food. NOT their mouse and rat formula, this one: https://m.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16965 Cardboard boxes and fleece will be your best friend ;) honestly...

You should get him a polish roo for company; they can talk all about how it's not a phase and people just don't understand their cool hair style :lau

Unless you have gigantic cats or bantam chickens, or both, surely it would be possible to make a small rectangular space with some wood and wire with a low opening that the cats could easily slink under, but the chickens could not? Considering how bendy cats are.
