    Rehome white Amercauna from Boulder, CO.

    I've got a flock of 4, looking to add a few. But I'm hesitant to take-in just one - I think they would pick on her without her having a companion. Why are you getting rid of one?

    Looking for hens in Northern Colorado

    I have a flock of 4 hens, about 2 years old. We just obtained a larger coop and are looking to add 2-4 girls to the flock, at least 3 months old, but not "babies" that our girls will beat-up on.

    I’m thinking I’m going to have to rehome my 3 young hens

    Hi Ckazmirski, I'm up the road from you in Fort Collins, CO and looking to add 2-4 hens to my flock of 4. Are your three still needing a new home?

    (3)1.5 year old egg laying chickens - FREE to a good home in Denver

    Hi CRowe Denver, have you found homes for these girls? I've got a flock of 4 in Fort Collins, we've just obtained a much larger (and sturdier) coop than the one they wintered in last year, and we're looking to add 2-4 hens, no sooner than a couple weeks from now.

    1-yr-old RIR lethargic, not eating much, drinking a lot

    She's got a small hard crop. Tried massaging it gently a few times today. I offered her some soft foods this morning - she went for the cat food & boiled egg, then spent the day hunkered down against the bitey-cold. Lately she's usually the first into the coop; tonight she wouldn't move out from...

    1-yr-old RIR lethargic, not eating much, drinking a lot

    Thanks, Wyorp Rock. Since posting, I've been reading a lot here about "crop" issues - I had to google "crop", where/what it is on a chicken. I'll check Ruby's crop in the morning. Fortunately, she's the one who allows being handled/picked-up (even seems to like it). I'll post my findings back here.

    Lost my first Chicken

    Perhaps an unseen infection that destroyed tissue?

    1-yr-old RIR lethargic, not eating much, drinking a lot

    I'm a fairly new & inexperienced chicken keeper. We got 5 hens in early June, all were 10 months old (we're told). The RIR has always been one of the healthiest (looking) of them, but we believe she's never laid. Over the last couple months, she seems "stupid" or "blind" when treats are...

    Colorado

    Hi DorrieSiobhan & chickypoo, I'm in Old Town Fort Collins with my 5 hens, and there are lots of homes around me with chickens! Fort Collins and Larimer County do allow hens (no roosters), but there could be restrictions by neighborhood or HOA.

    Hello, I'm a new chicken supervisor!

    Just a "Hello" here. I've co-hosted chickens for about 5 months and recently "inherited" the flock of 5. I'm now the primary owner of the birds, but we have a tight group of neighbors (some of us live on the same property) who participate in their care and share the egg production. I'll be...
