    2 white silkie roosters free, Rochester NY area

    Free to a good home . Available : 2 ( 1 year old) white silkie roosters. Good little birds that I would love to find new homes for. 4 roosters are 2, too many if you get my drift. So I am keeping 2 and have the other 2 up for adoption. Hope someone can use them.

    Hens hardly laying at all. We need advice!!!!

    sounds like your birds have been stressed..........it may be a while before they lay again. Stress does terrible things to chickens and humans alike. Good luck!

    Does anyone else NOT get along with their Dad?

    ...people to be with...literally . It has been 1 1/2 years since we've spoken . I decided it was time I made myself happy as I have worth and I *AM* important ....just not to him. His loss.
