Hard to get anyone to hold still...their tails are all pretty similar. The front one is absolutely crowing...but so far the only one that I've noticed (or at least, I've only seen/heard one crowing at once so I'm assuming it's just one). They're so IFFY and hubby is NOT happy if they're all...
I need some help Mainers...
Thought I was doing a good thing for a lady who needed all her chickens gone due to association rules. She said she had Brahma hens, but after seeing photos (of them while roosting) I knew they were BR but was fine with that and went to pick them up...

Hey group!!! We've been without chickens for about 4 years now and this weekend we tore down our old coop/pig pen and have started construction on our new coop. Yay!!

FREE ROOSTER (like there aren't enough out there, already - right?!)
2 yr-old Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte. One of Hoppy's lines. (Check out his pictures!)
***edited, as I stand corrected by his original Mama - He's dark, but he's BLUE!
He is big and he is beautiful and he is an excellent...
I only feed them near their coop, or out in the backyard & hubby is CONSTANTLY "chasing" them off the front porch so I can't figure out what the big draw to it is...maybe just to give us a challenge?!
It's been all blocked off since yesterday, and so far that seems to be keeping them away. I...
