We would have coop put there i guess, but it’s an omlete make, completely portable and not stuck down to one area. no idea if that makes a difference.

...there. I love those hens so so much and it would genuinely break me having to rehome our oldest ones. My question: Has anybody here rented out *small* plots of land for their chickens before? or have any land up in Devon (North..) for rent? Everything i’ve seen so far has been wayyy too big...

Welp. Never wanted to make this post but here we go. We have been evicted, no notice, and we need to get them off the property ASAP as the landlord is no longer tolerating them. Me, my mother and my brother are currently all staying in emergency accommodation, homeless. We can’t take them off...

thank you, i’d never thought id be losing my home of 7 years, let alone half my flock. we became a mini sanctuary for unwanted roos because we never thought we’d ever end up here.

We are in the uk, gloucestershire region. not sure if this is the right thread for this, but we really need to start looking to rehome. we are being evicted through no fault of our own and cannot keep them anymore. we’re devastated to see them go. all of our roos are lovely boys, we have...

breeder down the road. theyve accidentally given out mixed/different breeds to us before. doesn’t bother us but 🤷 you’re probably right about maybe not being a welsummer. for examples : they also told us that these two were welsummers.. 🤣

the breeder we got (him?) from is nutorious for accidentally giving out mixed breeds. doesn’t bother us but 🤷 you’re probably right about maybe not being a welsummer

i’m unsure of what gender this baby is!! she’s around 3.5 months old, and she only started developing these black feathers recently. temperament wise i would go 100% hen, she’s the friendliest baby i’ve ever raised if i’m honest. i’ll be devastated if she’s a roo, where we are right now if...

I agree with a few of the other people who’ve replied, we had 2 dogs at the time we got chickens, we took them out only on leads with positive reinforcement when they showed no interest. after a few weeks of it, we cautiously ‘introduced’ them. just like when we introduced our 2 dogs, we made a...

We have a brahma pullet, she’s just over 3months old, and a few days ago she started making this very strange croaking noise. she sounds like a duck. Despite brahmas being listed as a quiet chicken breed, Bunny (the hen) has never shut up ever since we got her as a chick. it was never anything...

i would say rooster. big red comb and wattles, along with very stringy looking neck feathers

ohhhh that makes a lot of sense! we have 3 roos who are brothers, and another recent rescue roo, thanks for pointing it out!!

here are some recent pics of em i just took: coco, the one you pointed out has the yellow tag on the right

...either) with their wattles, combs and sticky up tails- but this no crowing thing is throwing me off so much!! any suggestions on what’s going on? **i’ll try and update with more recent pics later!! ** this is the most recent pic i have of them chilling with their sister although it’s not...

small update on these guys as you asked, they’re still super friendly which is pretty surprising as i’m quite sure they’re both roos, one of them keeps trying to fight our adult roo who’s like triple the size of him 😭 this is April : And this is the only pic of Coco i could get : Also! you...

he’s doing good!! a small part on the tip of his beak did break off despite our efforts, but he can still eat/drink totally fine and no exposed tissue ect. separation seems to be working well, we’re getting into a better routine aswell, there have been times where they’ve been out together...

thank you so much! we will try the superglue trick. we were thinking about permenantly separating them and having staggered free ranging times for them, while our little pekin boy is the aggressor and remains unscathed he’s the most likely to be the fatality if they get into another serious...

Rooster fight injuries!! ahh!! Our big buff boy got in a major fight with our little pekin boy- our pekin boy is essentially totally fine. but our buff boy was too overwhelmed to fight back + has some pretty big injuries. his beak seems cracked? we have zero idea how to fix/treat this, any...

they aren’t down sexable ? i would’ve thought they were! it’s no biggie if they aren’t, it’s i’d been told they were :0

little hard to tell but to me that looks just like dustbathing behavior, nothing too serious, they do it instinctually. dunno about the nuzzling under though, never had a chick do it 😳
