    ISO Guinea keets or fertile eggs: west Puget Sound

    Hard to find anybody with guineas in our area. I'd take adult birds, but I hear they don't "move territory" well.

    ISO adult duck hen(s), Kitsap, WA

    I have a very lonely Khaki Campbell drake for whom I would like to find a hen. He had a lady until recently, and then I didn't get the birds locked up in a timely fashion one night and a racoon found my lady duck. Happy to travel south, or north to Jefferson County. Doesn't have to be the same...

    Ended Funny Chicken Name Contest - Win 60 lbs of Grubbly Layer Feed From GrubblyFarms

    I have a broody hen who tries to kill me by the death of a thousand bites when I snatch her eggs every day. "Balrog" (Stole that name from the girls at Happy Hobbit. If the shoe fits...)

    Ended Funny Chicken Name Contest - Win 60 lbs of Grubbly Layer Feed From GrubblyFarms

    Mine all have boring names like Stella, Buffy (Buff Orpington, natch), Walter (my roo) and Pidgeon (she's grey). My neighbor, on the other hand: Lindsey Lohen, Eggatha, Hennifer Lopez, etc. :D

    Kitsap County, WA: rooster

    Looking for a roo for my small flock. My sweet splash Orpington has gone on to his reward, and my girls need a man around. Standard breed preferred, any kind will do but I'd prefer a copper, red, or dark buff color. Thanks!

    Multiple PM notifications: So far I've received four email notifications regarding a Private Message to which I've already responded. One reply was received. I viewed it, and yet I keep receiving notices. Weird.

    Hen gasping/wheezing: no other symptoms

    Yeah, I don't think it's gapeworm. She was fine yesterday. May not be pneumonia, either, since it came on so fast. Bottom line: she just breathed her last, I'm sad to say. This went so quickly that I'm guessing congestive heart failure or somesuch. She struggled a bit right at the end, and then...

    Hen gasping/wheezing: no other symptoms

    One of my RIR hens, only a couple of years old, was standing on the floor of the coop gasping for air when I went to lock up tonight. I brought her in to the house and found no wounds, swelling or other problems. No visible blockage down her throat, and crop feels normal. I'm guessing either...

    Is this early BUMBLEFOOT? (pics) If so... how to treat at this stage?

    I have a blue orpy roo with a swollen pad (no scab) and a wyandotte hen with a swollen pad and small, dark scab. I'm guessing I should soak her foot and remove the scab, then pack and wrap the wound. What about the boy? Will soaking in epsom help even if there is no lesion? Thanks! Neb...

    Blue Orpington Cockerels - WA

    Three beautiful Blue Orpington cockerels, five months old. Take one or all, $15 each. They are already large and impressive at 5 months, and will be handsome boys at full size. Excellent for showing and breeding (or the pot), these birds are hard to come by in this part of the country. Hatched...

    Free in Kingston, WA: white roo, 1 yr

    "Eggbert" hatched out last year from an Ameracauna hen and a White Leghorn roo. He's a sweet boy with white "side whiskers", but he just has no hens to call his own. My Americauna roo is the Alpha and chases him away. I'd like to find a home for him, and I don't have a problem with him becoming...

    Feather impacted?

    Thanks for your input! I'm thinking along the same lines as you. Will check the boy again tomorrow and see how it's going.

    Feather impacted?

    My "americauna" roo has a strange "growth" that I think is an impaction or other problem with one of his tail feathers. The skin is extruded in the shape of a feather shaft for about 1/2". There appears to be a little wisp of feather poking out the end, and it's oozing rusty orange puss. Has...

    non-emergency: hen falls down, rolls over, can't get up...

    I have a RIR hen, about 2 yrs old, who seems to have a balance problem. She falls over, rolls on her back, and then can't get up (like a turtle). Sometimes she mis-judges a jump down from something, or is tackled by the rooster. It's been going on for a couple of months, and I have to set her...

    (WA) free: White Leghorn/cross cockerels need homes!

    Father was a white Leghorn, mom was an Auracauna. Kids are white with some grey feather ends. Of the five hatchlings, two have turned out to be boys, and they need to go. I already have a rooster and I don't need the drama. They are 3.5 months old and already acting like adults (crowing, chasing...

    Sick hen, swollen abdomen/vent area...HELP!!!l

    I think I need a quick anatomy lesson. I checked my Mathilda's vent a short while ago, while I had her standing in a sink full of warm soapy water, and couldn't feel an egg right there....but I don't know if I went in far enough. Where is everything in there? I know the anus empties in, but is...

    Sick hen, swollen abdomen/vent area...HELP!!!l

    Quote: Tums? Really? I have a "swollen abdomen, listless, poopy butt hen in a cat carrier in my kitchen, too. I've palped her abdomen and I can feel some hard, round masses to either side of her vent. Don't know if that's anatomy or eggs. I'll get some Tums right away, and also try to lube...

    Anybody ever caponize a rooster...

    I searched this thread because I've just figured out that one of my four month old "hens" is a rooster. Beautiful Ameracauna, too. Foo. I thought maybe if I had him "neutered", it might keep him from acting like a roo and incurring the wrath of my big white Leghorn, but now I'm guessing it...
