WE DID IT!!!! :woot An animal sanctuary near me has offered to be my kids new forever home. I just dropped them off an hour ago. It was really hard to let them go, but now I can rest knowing they're safe and with a new family that will love and cherish them just as I do. 🥺😭 Thank you everyone...
I've posted on a local re-homing group on Facebook but I'll do Craigslist too.
Edit: I'm hesitant of posting on Craigslist because I don't want to risk my chickens being culled or eaten, etc, or worse. I know there's a chance of that here too, but it feels less than Craigslist.
Still looking for a home! I have a farmer lined up as a possibility, but he's so busy we can't find the time to meet up and integrate my chickens. I need more options, especially since we're nearing the end of the month (I'm getting kicked out.) I need to re-home my kids by September!

*Adding on that it's still risky for me to commute very far, but I'm desperate at this point I'll make it happen. I'll drive to Lodi, Sac, the bay...
There is actually! Unfortunately they took a hard hit from the avian flu and are still recovering. Not accepting private re-homes at the moment. But you did give me an idea of looking Outside my city. I get worried about travelling too far because my car is unreliable... But honestly I would be...
Hello all, I'm from the Stockton area and looking to re-home my chickens ASAP. Here's a link to my thread explaining my situation and giving more info on the chickens.
Hello all. I'm making one of the hardest decisions of my life; re-homing my kids. But it's for their safety and happiness, so I am trying to find peace in that. My living situation is unsafe so I'm moving out, but I can't bring them with me. I don't have anywhere to house them. My car is on its...
Thank you for the info, I'll double check and see if I can't trim at least the poopy feathers. I think you're right about the bruising. It's not as dark as it was Wednesday. The scabs around his vent are slowly healing too. And the other affected areas around his butt seem to be improving. :D He...
Hi there, for the past week I've been gently wiping any debris off his bottom with a wet wipe (just water) and keeping it clean of fecal matter. Then I use the Bantixx(?) spray on and around the affected areas. After applying that I use liberal amounts of antibiotic ointment on the entire area...
Hi all, he made it through the night and seems to be acting okay. Definitely perked up after drinking water. I don't have feasible space for him inside my home, especially with the stress of my roommate's two dogs getting to him, so I moved him back outside with the others. I'm going to keep an...
Hi everyone, update.
Me and my roommate washed and soaked him in hot soapy water, got all of the worms off of him, drowned them, etc.
He's been dried and antibiotic ointment has been liberally added to the wounds around his vent, etc, where the caked poop was and where the worms were feasting...
Hi all, I don't have pics at the moment because I collected a stool sample before taking a picture. There was a white worm (small) that one of my hens ate before I could stop her. In the yellow, splotchy green, mucousy diarrhea were a Bunch of small, rice grain-sized worms writhing around. I...
Sadly I didn't think to take pictures. :( As far as I remember, the liver was a normal color and didn't have any splotches. I don't remember getting a good look at the intestines. I think everything else was okay aside from the cancer, etc.
