Point taken. We will certainly be understanding if someone contacts the feed store later and asks about a chicken. As a matter of fact I have to go get more food so I can let them know that I have her now if someone does ask.
Sorry I took you comment the wrong way.
Apparently they already tried that (Locating the owner) but there has been no contacts. I would never presume that my Pastor and his family would just take something and claim it for their own or hand it off to someone else without considering who might be missing it. As I mentioned above he is...
Our Pastor and family live behind a Grocery store in town. They think that perhaps a farmer was in picking up scraps for pigs or something along that line and this chicken some how escaped while they where in the parking lot. She is very pretty but clearly afraid. I hope that she will calm down...
Thank you That's a start at least. I couldn't decide if it was a hen or just a young rooster that didn't have that typical beautiful tail yet.
She is eating and drinking well and is now in with our girls for the night. Hopefully they will make her feel a little calmer and she will stick...
Hi there. This chicken showed up in our Pastors backyard, in the middle of town of all places. After approx. a week he caught it in a cage I lent him and we picked it up shortly after. We just got it home (thus the small cage) Does anyone know what type of chicken this is? Also can you tell from...
Well when we got home from church I took the rooster out of the crate to see if he needed his butt cleaned up gain. Since I had done it by myself yesterday I was going to get my husbands help so that I could use both hands this time. I had been trying to hold him up with one hand so that he...
We now have him set up inside in a large dog crate. We put shavings in the bottom and put in small bowls of food and water. I washed up his butt for him and toweled him off before putting him in. We put some sugar in the water but we will pick up something proper tomorrow for him to drink. My...
Well unfortunately I'm back with another dieing chicken. This time it is a Barred Rock Rooster. They are about 6 months now. Today is his his 4 day of not wanting to walk around. We have been feeding him by hand and he was drinking well. Today he seems to not be doing well at all. My son fed...
Thank you for taking time to write. I don't use any pesticides at all on our lawn or garden. They didn't have anything crawling on them at all. We handle them all the time so we would have noticed. As matter of fact last year when we got them they had lice and we had to put powder on them to...
I am hoping that someone can help me out. I'm afraid I don't even know how to describe what is going on. For some reason we have had two of our RIR die.
Initially the first girl began to act tired very suddenly. We spend a lot of time with our girls so it was very noticeable. She then stopped...
Hi there. I am new to owning chickens. We have 3 Rhode Island Reds, 5 Black Sex Links and 10 Barred Rocks. Unfortunately 2 of my Barred Rocks turned out to be roosters so they will have to find a new home. Although they are absolutely beautiful, I have two little boys and as a dog groomer I have...
