    Hey y'all! So, has anyone had an experience with buying chicks at a Rural King, and finding out when they're grown that they're not what they're supposed to be? Specifically, back in Feb/Mar I bought chicks at a Rural King that were supposed to be Blue Leghorns. Well, they're starting to lay...

    I need to rehome my flock. We live in West Indianapolis, between Avon and Speedway. I'm sure cross-posting is discouraged, but I need to move these birds so I'm going to risk the ire of the community. This is up in the rehoming thread as well. I have: 3 years old: 1 Columbian Wyandotte 1...

    I thought I had read that they were pretty short-lived in general. I was expecting that I'd start losing them pretty soon. I only have three, and I don't think any of them lay eggs any more. If she's still poorly tomorrow I'll probably put her down.

    Hey y'all. I have a bit of a problem. I have a hen, golden comet, either 2 or 3 years old, who started acting weird today. When I went out to the coop in the late morning, she was standing tall on her legs, but leaning up against the coop wall. She's not really standing or walking on her...

    Welcome to the group! I felt the same way when I started, and I bought my first few pullets at about 6 mo old. I ran into some health problems with them that I think I could have avoided by raising my own. Raising chicks sounds scary when you haven't done it but it's really pretty easy...

    Hey y'all! I haven't been around in a while and I thought I'd stop by. I'm on my fourth flock of hens in about 10 years. My first lasted about two years I think, and was partially absorbed into the second. That group was around until the flu wiped them out. The third group I had for a...

    We have found him a home and dropped him off today. He should be very happy there.

    I have a silver-laced wyandotte rooster that I got from Rural King. He is 14 weeks old and just started crowing today. He hasn't been handled a lot and isn't especially friendly, but he isn't aggressive either. He currently lives in a flock of 14 chickens of various breeds. West...

    I have a rooster I need to re-home. It's a silver-laced wyandotte I got from Rural King earlier this year. He's about 14 weeks old and had his first crow this morning. West indianapolis. I can deliver reasonable distances. Message me if you're interested.

    There are some animal rescue people who are coming to get her.

    I could take it home. Right now I have no chickens in my coop - that's a long sad story. But I don't really want to adopt a random bird. But I really don't know what else to do besides call animal control, and I can't imagine they'll do anything but put it down anyway. So I'm not sure how to...
