    Thanks! She got them to someone that evening. I called tractor supply and they knew just the person so they gave me her number. My cousin brought them out there that night. :)

    2 roosters abandoned in Greeley, CO

She's going to bring them home tonight if she can't find someone to take them but she only has a fenced in backyard..it...

    Please help! Chicken wound from dog :(

    If you have a local farm store or fleet farm...grab some Blu kote for the injuries, it's turns them purple (so other hens don't peck at the raw skin) and is also antibiotic I believe. Clean with iodine (they should have something there similar to that, forget the name but ask and they'll lead...

Her feathers are starting to come in and the dead skin is starting to pull away from the new skin. She rode along for...
