My father recently lost his battle with cancer and now I must rehome his hobby farm animals. I do not know the rabbit breeds; within the time I've tried rehoming them (2 wks), the oldest female already had another litter!!! There are 5 babies right now (2 are at least 2 months old), and the...

I'm trying to downsize our small hobby farm as I may have to move very soon. I have 6 leghorn hens (all 5 months old and laying). $10 a hen or $50 if you can give all 6 a good home...willing to give a whatever is left of their 50lb food bag with them.

My parents have a few health issues and can not take care of the girls anymore. I live almost an hour away and can not run back & forth to do it. I had raised these girls from chicks so they mean alot to me (will only give to a non- butchering home, for egg laying only). They are all almost 2...

I need your help! We are trying to find a special girl a home. She was a freebie chick this past march from tractor supply bc they didnt expect her to live long. She shook like she had temors, we later found out that she was blind. She gets along fine and eats fine (she is now 7 months old)...

I got these girls from Tractor supply 4 months ago... They were all in the same tub. They were advertised as Jersey giants... as you can see, They are not. Just wanted some other opinions as to what they were.

I am moving into western MD for college (Frostburg/cumberland area) in less than a month. Over the past 2 yrs of having chickens, i have spoiled myself on fresh eggs and do not look foward to eatting store bought again. By the same token, i like helping out local farmers and would be willing to...

We always let our 13 birds free range during the day (putting them away around 5pm). Only twice in 3 years were our birds ever gotten by predaters (fox) ...and that was mostly from faults of ours. Yesterday one of our barred rock girls (tilly) just disappeared during the day...no feathers, no...

I have 7 chickens in a coop with a very generous run space. I use a mix of ceder chips and hay in the run... my big problem of which is that it doesnt last long once any moisture is around. The combination of decomposing hay and chicken poo will literally knock you out and make you gag. I...

I have a RIR roo named gilda. I raised him from a week old chick and he has never given me issues (just a very mellow guy that i can call and pick up w/o issue). He is currently reaching the year old mark. my mom holding gilda Take note: He has never been aggressive to me or anyone around...

I picked up 7 jersey giant chicks at tractor supply. There was one chick that would constantley shake...at first i thought that i was cold or just needed vitamens bc it was the runt of the bunch. At almost 2 months, this chick is still alive but constantley shakes. He seems to function ok with...

I have a small flock of 13. My main flock consist of my rir roo, and 3 br ladies...i had more hens at one time but had a fox problem . The others are all chicks right now and 90% males . Because of the stortage, my roo has been tearing these other lady's backs up. I need to find at least 2...

I received 3 free chicks- i was told that they are all males (no disappointment if they are for they are still welcome in my flock). I have a suspusion that i have a female in there though...please tell me what you see and bear with the pics (taken by a camera phone as close as they would come...

do you ever feel like your being watched?

All of my girls are brown egg layers, but today i found a cream colored egg in their coop . Does that normally happen? Is there something that their diet is lacking?

I currently have 10 chicks, rougly 4 weeks old and most are starting to escape from their baby chick box...I was wondering at what age could i introduce them to my larger guys? what age would they be ok and able to hold their own with the pecking order fights?

About 4 days ago, my father had responded to an ad on craiglist for a free old english banty hen and rooster. When we picked them up, they were in aweful shape (the previous owner had them living in crates in a basement their whole lives- they have never been outside or around other birds, they...

While i was at work yesterday, my father (ever on the lookout for free craigslist stuff) brought home a free roo and hen. You could say that we saved them because they are in bad shape to say the least- the owner kept them in a basement their whole lives (5 months) so they have never been...
