    City Rooster needs new home (Portland, OR)

    Rufus is a beautiful black and bronze rooster (unknown breed, possibly a Barnevelder), six months old and fed all organic chicken feed. Would make a wonderful addition to your flock! We cannot keep him at our house and would like him to lead a long and full life. Please email: [email protected]...

    Six-Month old Rooster needs good home

    We need a new home outside the city for our unexpected rooster. Breed is uncertain, possibly a barnevolder or maran (black with bronze wing marks). In perfect health and fed only organic food. We are located in North Portland and can deliver to reasonable distances (up to 30 miles). Thank you!

Soon after she stopped laying and started molting. We tried to treat her naturally for two weeks, but put her on clavamox when she didn't improve...

    These home cures saved my hen!

    My girls didn't seem to mind. This might be due to the fact that I added Gatorade... I added a half a cup of ACV to their gallon water dispenser.

    These home cures saved my hen!

    My two year old Barred Rock was very ill a week ago. She was lethargic, would not eat, had diarrhea, and was sleeping outside on the perch. She quickly lost tons of weight. We did not have the money to take her to the vet or to buy expensive antibiotics. I didn't think that she would make it...

    Can a move cause stomach upset?

    What is that? We took her to the vet who seems to think that there is a bacterial infection at work. She gave us clavamox. Olive seems to be doing a bit better but we can't eat her eggs now for a long time because of the antibiotics...

    Can a move cause stomach upset?

    We recently moved (about three weeks ago). My three hens are digging in new dirt and because of the yard layout are having less free range time. I have noticed that at least two of the girls are having diarrhea and one of them has not lay in three days which is unusual for her. Aside from this...

    My husband brought his guitar outside to play and our three ladies went crazy! They started squawking and ran and hid behind the run. We tested this out two more times. Each time the guitar appeared the girls ran for their lives before he even strummed a note. Any ideas about why they are so...

    looking for someone to care for my chickens over the holidays.

    Thank you all for your replies. We still have not found anyone. Thanks to all of you who offered but are a little far out. We have to drive to portland to catch out flight so we won't have time to drive the girls anywhere too far. I will check with the 4H and see. I don't think our neighbors are...

We are at a loss as to what to do with our three 8 month old girls (one bard rock and 2 rhode island reds). We have tried to find people to care for them at the house but...
