    ...able to participate!) because I feel there would be many responsible poultry keepers who would have a thing or two to say, as opposed to the one person cheesed enough to rain on everyone else's parade. And then what about all the people who *don't* complain and are ok with the roosters...

    I would breed for friendly too - you can breed for size later down the line, but if you have a sweet friendly roo, it is a KEEPER. There is nothing more terrible than a mean vicious obnoxious rooster, not jut because of your kids, but for you also. The pullet I have now hatched from my perfectly...

    They said that they would build me a run and coop - their birds free range though.

    It was incredibly difficult to find a rooster friendly property, on top of uprooting completely and moving to an unfamiliar area because of my bf's new work. We're from southern california, and the idea of a freezing cold wet winter is daunting enough, let alone finding a pplace that was within...

    ...and three hens, and one of the hens has a month old chick which will be two months old when we move. To be honest the folks in Vancouver aren't *that* far away and they seem like wonderful people, but my bf asked that I at least try to find someone closer first.. If anyone is interested or...

    Help! Roosters around Portland?

    Hi guys, I currently live in Los Angeles, and keep two roosters that I bring inside at night. Legally i can keep just one, but only one of them crows at certain points in the day so it's not really an issue. Thing is I might be moving to the Portland area in the fall. At first I was pretty...

    Free to good home, and rooster sitter needed in SoCal area!

    Oh gosh that would be so fantastic!! I'm currently out of town on a road trip, but I wonder if you could come by for them when my dad's at home? He's extremely unhappy about bringing them in for me, even just for this week that I'm not home.. but I would also like to be there. Do you have a...

    Free to good home, and rooster sitter needed in SoCal area!

    Hi guys, I'm going to be out of the country for a month and am desperately looking for a rooster sitter. One rooster I would like to keep, the other I'm looking to re-home, but until I find a home, I need to find someone to take care of them while I'm gone, as I live in Los Angeles and my...

    Black Australorp Hen???

    Setting it in the wild is the worst suggestion possible, I hope you're joking.

    how do I get chicks feet uncurled?

    http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/BRKRaisingChicks.html http://poultryhelp.com/spraddle.html This has great pictures too, scroll down a bit. I had a chick with curled toes on both feet and splayed legs. I hobbled him up but he couldn't stay upright so I tucked him into a 'nest' of a sock...

    No rib cage?

    Yeah, I worry about it also. They would have to peer underneath him to see. Right now it's a bare patch of skin, which I thought was unusual enough.. I wouldn't mind a house chicken, though others might lol. I'll have to see how other people deal with keeping one in the house. He's a pretty...

    No rib cage?

    When he was first hatched, I was pretty sure I saw the heart.. He couldn't right himself over so he was lying on his back. It also looked like his stomach might've been unclosed, it looked a little yolky around the sternum. I left him in the incubator for the rest of the day, then when I saw it...

    No rib cage?

    This is going to be a weird one.. but when my problem chick hatched (the one that had straddle legs, curled feet, wry neck), I thought I could see his HEART beating just barely under his paper thin skin. I thought nothing of it later as I worked on getting him fixed up with chick shoes and...

    2 week old with scissor beak

    I have an easter egger chick that I noticed developing scissor beak in just the past few days. The thing is, the lower mandible can be gently moved back into place, and sometimes when he 'grinds' his beak it moves back into place. I imagine like fixing curled foot, the chick is still growing and...
