    Looking for Louisiana chickens.

    Hi, I know this is a long shot, but do you still happen to have a coop and shelter to give away? We just moved to Louisiana (between Lafayette and Baton Rouge) and are getting new chicks in a couple weeks. Thanks!

    Beautiful Australorp Rooster

    Hi guys, I need to rehome my australorp roo. He is great with the ladies but is being picked on by the other roo and it's causing havoc. I'm in NC and would prefer not to ship him. He is about 11 months old and is beautiful! Please let me know if you are interested in him. I'm willing to drive...

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    Thanks! I'll start checking those threads out. I would just hate to try one, kill it accidently and it turn out to be a girl anyway! Maybe I should wait until I've had chickens a bit longer before caponizing! :P

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    Kassaundra, this is what I'm having the HARDEST time with. I've only had chooks for a year so I'm sure some of it comes from experience, but how on earth can you tell? I'm basically clueless until they start crowing. Is there some resource you can point me to to help me learn? Otherwise all my...

    I forgot to mention that I use heating pads (on old cookie cooling racks with old towels and more cardboard scraps as insulation) as electric hens so I'm not concerned with fire risk from heat lamps, but if you are making a cardboard city, be very careful with your heating elements!

    Quote: I typically use some ungodly combo of large dog crates and cardboard boxes with a sideways metal horse trough just for fun and old window screens as lids. As they grow and need more space, I cut holes in the cardboard boxes and duck tape more to the side. It ends up as a sprawling...

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    Super helpful! I've been lurking on this thread for months now and I'm planning on trying my first caponization this weekend. I gave an honest attempt to find him a home, but oddly nobody wants a rooster :P He's a bit old for it and has been kazoo crowing for a week, but I figure I might as well...

    OK, Dusty is starting to kazoo-crow, so it's official... he has to go! I'll try to get some better pics on here soon. He's a sweetie and just really needs a new home. Thanks for looking! :)

    Free Easter Egger (marans X ameraucana) cockerel- Triad, NC

    Needing to rehome an EE that is about 3-4 months old. Her name is Dustina, thanks to feather duster feet, but I suspect SHE is a HE and I cannot have a rooster. Friendly and likes people. Beautiful barred coloring with bronze undertones in the sunlight. Gorgeous and friendly... what's not to...
