    4 Hens in SF In Need of New Home

    Thank you so much! I'll let you know. I may have someone in Los Gatos able to take three of them, but if that falls through or if they don't want the 4th one, I'll keep you in mind! I think it'd be great for them to get more space!

    4 Hens in SF In Need of New Home

    Looking for a new home for 4 happy hens currently located in San Francisco. Sadly, a combination of moving to a new place and needing to take care of my mom who is ill means I have to give them up.

    Thanks, Aart! Yes, I am quite limited with space and figured quarantine would be difficult. :\

    Looking for advice for introducing new flock

    Thanks, azygous! I feel so bad for the last hen who is by herself, so I'd like to get her some friends as soon as possible. I'm just a little nervous given the circumstances.

    Looking for advice for introducing new flock

    I had a small flock of 3 girls, and sadly recently lost 2 of them. The two went out in similar ways about a month apart -- both started walking like penguins and deteriorated from there. (The second girl I lost seemed to have a swollen abdomen.) All 3 are about 5 years old at this point. I hate...

    Hello from San Francisco!

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while and finally decided to join. Very excited to be part of the BYC community! I adopted 3 chickens from a friend and quickly became obsessed with them (though I often felt I had no idea what I was doing). I've loved keeping chickens...
