Hello All!
I'm a Jersey-based mother of three to Winona-12, Calvin-10, and Jack-7, wife to a wonderful and talented husband-Justin, guardian of two cats-Chloe and Teddy and one turtle-Fleishman. I work with Justin for our photography business and tend to our family and mini-farm. I'm a fairly...
We have to rehome our 5-month-old Silkie Roo, Bob. We live in an urban neighborhood and can't keep roosters.
Right now he's living inside at night and in the morning (when he crows) and free-ranges the rest of the day in the backyard and garden.
He has a very sweet personality and is very...
Hazel is a nightmare, but she's definitely in the running as one of my favorites. She never got used to be handled, so if she gets out of her run, she takes off like a bat out of h*ll. It takes FOREVER to get her back in. Sophie is clearly the boss, but Hazel picks on everyone... then quickly...
We're having a heat wave in New Jersey right now, so I set up a "mister" for my backyard chickens... here's a video of my set-up and my new bantam chicks:

I can't keep roos in my town and one of them is starting to eek out crows. I have two boys and a girl and need to rehome at least the boys. One is a white and the other a splash tan with a beard.
Here's a link to my blog that shows pics and video...
I'm having the same problem!! TWO roos out of 3 silkies. I have no idea what to do
I was thinking of putting my bunny with my girl for company... her pen is attached to my larger coop with 5 grumpy hens. They could never live together, but maybe seeing them through the wire would work for...
I have two flocks of chickens that live in separate, but adjacent, coops - 3 two-month-old Silkies and 5 larger older hens (Sussex & Cochin).
Because two of my young Silkies turned out to be roos, I have to rehome two or all of them (I'm not allowed to have roos). I would love to keep my...
I'm in a small New Jersey town and I am considered an outlaw. I live in a semi-attached home in a pretty densely populated area. My neighbors love my chickens and have my back.
Here's the rub... I also serve on the town's zoning board for two years now. If I get caught, I have some...
Thanks for all your thoughtful replies! I made them a gourmet medley of veggies, bread, multi-grain cheerios, and popcorn, and they survived just fine. I do have Walmarts near me, but I've been on a strict boycott for 10 years... leaving only Agway as an option for feed. I hope they'll go...
We're going away for the holiday weekend, and just realized we're completely out of chicken feed. The feed stores are all closed for Thanksgiving, so I'm asking if there's a smart option that will last them for three days that I can pick up at the grocery store??
All suggestions are greatly...
