    French Copper Maran Roosters

    These two little guys are 8 weeks old and one has started trying out his voice so I need to find them new homes for them as I live in town. The crower is going to be a big guy and is already showing his colors. I feel like he's going to be a good looking guy. I really, really wish I could...

    Lavender Orpington Gender Wonder

    I am hoping someone who's had these can lend a thought on male or female for these two chickies. They are 5 weeks old and have been developing at the same rate. I've read through so many of these questions on this forum trying to figure it out, but nothing is quite obvious. And hardly anyone...

    Illinois...

    I'm in NW illinois...just south of the Quad cities. I have a very small 'flock'- two black sex-linked and a duck. Just adopted three 2 month old white silkies (hopefully hens) from the school's ag project and want to find a maran or two and araucanas. Love having chickens and would love to...

    Single Chicken

    I didn't plan on having just one, it just worked out that way. But we (the dogs and cat & people) became her social life. She talked to us, laid more eggs than I could count and even after getting the other hens, she always came to us when we'd call her. She'd jump in our arms or on our...

    Single Chicken

    Why is that? Cruel fate? I figured she was slower than the standard sized hens and the duck so she got the 'hook'. I'm just relieved that it was something as crazy as a giant hawk in town than a dog or coon or fox getting her. That is the only thing that makes it feel better. I'm in the...

    Single Chicken

    I know this is an old post, but as an update, I did keep just this one hen, a mille fleur for a year by her self. I was pregnant and my husband was out of town for most of it during the winter and I had her stay with me and my dogs inside. She rocked. She put the cat in her place and even had...

    Single Chicken

    I am new to keeping chickens and was wondering if keeping a single hen is going to be cruel to that chicken? Do they need to be in multiples for proper chicken happiness? I have one young bantam pullet and she's very friendly, helps me out in the garden, comes to me when I'm walking up... but...
