    Rooster Bunker

    I live in a town that doesn't allow roosters. One of my 12 chicks grew into a gorgeous, gentle Jersey Giant rooster. I really like him, and my close neighbors do, too. To disguise his early morning crowing, every night I put him into a guest bathroom shower stall set up with a small wooden...

    Polish Rooster needs a home in S. California

    Help! An animal control officer was checking on a neighborhood dog and heard our rooster crow. Busted! We're not supposed to have a rooster in Glendale, California, so Magnus has to go. I love my bad boy and want him to go to a good home and continue to be spoiled. Can anyone in the S...

    Lonely Silkie?

    I have a flock of 6 large chickens plus a Polish rooster. When the rooster was young, the 6 chickens would pick on him, so I kept him separated from the others and got him a Silkie girlfriend. When the rooster grew older he asserted himself and the flock of six accepted him. However, they...

    lavender for nestboxes?

    I have lots of lavender growing in my yard. Can I use dried lavender for nestboxes instead of hay? I also have rosemary, but some sources say that some varieties of rosemary are poisonous to birds. What other materials do people use to line nestboxes? I want to avoid buying a bale of hay...

    Chicken grooming

    I have a crossed/twisted beak Polish pullet. I have been hand-feeding her every morning with baby chick food with a syringe. She also eats on her own from a deep dish. I grind up in a food processor a mixture of grains, tofu, vegetables, wheat grass and water. (She seems to be thriving.) All...
