    Black Cochin Bantam Rooster!

    Not sure if you are interested, but there is a rescue ranch in Castro Valley called Hossanas Boys Ranch and it's off crow canyon. It's a bit of a trek for you in Sonoma, but thought I'd let you know about it just in case. They would need you to deliver him there and make a small donation of...

    Hi~ This classified is to find a home for Sunny. I am willing to deliver him to the right loving home in the Northern California area. I live in the city of Fairfield. His hatch date was May 25, so he is only a little over 3 months old. I'm not allowed to have roosters per my city...

    HELP PLEASE!!! Problem with 10 day old chick.

    I'm so sorry. How is the chick's eating, drinking and pooping? Do you have any electrolyte solution for her to drink like Save a Chick? More details would help. My fingers are crossed for you. Make sure you post this in the injuries and illness forum as well. -Iri

    I was reading that medicated chick starter, which is what I have, can block the absorbtion of vitamin B. I may just switch to an organic "grower" or unmedicated "starter." I'm guessing Willow has either an injury or vitamin deficiency, so I'm going to look into switching feeds this weekend. I...

    Gender of 6 week Light Brahma?

    Hi I'd like to introduce you to "Sunny" the bossy brahma :) Just turned 6 weeks old and is supposed to be a pullet, but we all know how that goes! She is definitely top of the pecking order around here to my two other gals; an Easter Egger and a White Leghorn, all the same age. One time she...

    Willow Update: You have all been so wonderful, every single story and comment has helped me so much :) I saw Willow balancing briefly on the back part of her legs today (hocks?), and I could see that she does indeed have mobility in both legs which I took as a good sign. She had not pooped...

    Leghorns are cuckoo crazy!

    I have one little white leghorn gal myself. She is a tad bit more skittish than my other two, but also very sweet and not at all insane. Ironically, my brahma is kind of an A-hole. And that breed is supposed to be very good as a pet and mellow. Lol, I guess you just never know eh?

    I gotta say, wow, you all really lifted my heart. So much support here and I'm so glad to find this forum. I wish I had the energy to respond to everyone individually, but today I'm wiped out. I just wanted to say quick thanks before it got too late. I will update things when they change in...

    Wow Sumi, that is just incredible and sad. I too love those feathered gals, and I"m hoping this is just a patch of bad luck. I'm very glad that after all that you feel it was worth the heartache. I'm sure I will be saying the same in the future.

    Gosh, Ty everyone. I was really nervous about posting my vent, but I feel so much better about it. Canesisters, Ben and Zooeemoma thanks or sharing your stories, it has helped me to read them, even though I'm crying over them too! Fingers still crossed that Sunny is just a bossy pullet and...
