The rooster is a Blue Splash Cochin Bantam. He is the very fluffy one that likes to photobomb up there. lol Because he's a bantam he is very small, and has a very tiny half crow. He is the friendliest rooster I've had the pleasure to meet! He still gets protective of the girls, and he...

Yes! There are still 11 hens, one roo, one drake and one duck. Someone is currently considering one of the Easter Eggers.

We will be pursuing other types of advertising soon hopefully! This is all we've got for now though.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to update a little on the eggs. I don't know how much this will help, but this was today's egg batch. (checked just a minute ago around 11:30am) However, the Buffs and bearded Silkie were feeling nesty until just recently, so they may very well still lay every now...

I'm very grateful that you are even considering one! No need to feel pressured/bad. :love I've never tried integrating a grown hen into a group of pullets myself. I've introduced single grown chickens, a single pullet, and a small group of pullets to a small flock in the past, so it might be a...

It looks like at least one is! I can get back to you on how consistently these two in particular are laying at the moment since they are easy to tell apart from the others. I do know which is the younger of the two as well. She was rescued on the loose in town where no one would claim her...

Fun fact! The rooster is very easy to pick up! He's kind of hilariously bad at avoiding getting held. As long as you approach gently you'll have a small pillowy roo in your arms before you know it! Even when he's feeling defensive towards someone he's so small he can't really do anything and...

Hello everyone! I have 4-5 year old chickens and ducks in need of homes in Bozeman, MT. We would deliver nearby or meet in town. Would anyone be willing to take any of them in? (For free) I can give more details/pictures if wanted. The chickens pictured aren't quite all of them, but there is one...

Thank you for the advice! I'll try posting there.

Located in Bozeman, Montana. We will deliver them to you or meet you in town. I have 4-5 year old chickens and ducks in need of homes. Unfortunately I'm not sure who is still laying, but some of the hens are still laying some eggs. Any of them anyone is willing to take in would be a blessing...

Location: Bozeman, Montana area. We will drop them off or meet you in town. My schedule is a bit unpredictable so we'll have to discuss a date and time. General info: Been trying to hold on to my flock for as long as I can, but time is up and I can only keep a few. I have 8 hens and 2 ducks...

Unfortunately, due to life events I may have to rehome most or all of my flock in a few months. I care about them very much and want them to at least go to loving homes if it does turn out that I can't keep them. Does anyone have suggestions for rehoming? Chickens are easily abused and I want to...

Everyone, thank you so much for all of your suggestions, stories and advice!! :hugs I'm certain I will be reading through them, and any posts to come, often during our search for a dog and while raising it. The time when we get it is still a ways away as we have much deciding and preparation to...

Thank you! Not redundant at all. I will take all the advice I can get before we actually get a dog. Thanks, Karen! :) I will remember to look into working bloodlines if at all possible.

It's helpful to hear about your experience with training. I'm only used to teaching the usual things like "don't run off" and "stay out of the trash" so I'm nervous and unsure about how to approach teaching a dog to watch out for the flock. Especially the ducks, since they seem to invite trouble...
