I have 7 cockerels, all a little over three weeks old, that I need to find homes for. Three Black Australorps and four Barred Rocks. We got a batch of straight run chicks, and ended up with far more roosters than we need. 12 chicks, and 9 are roosters. Thanks guys! Located in East End...

hey guys, I have six hens in Michigan, in need of a new home asap. I am moving out of state and won’t be able to take them with me. :( They are family pets, but they still lay some eggs. There is one buff orpinton, two Easter eggers, and three Barenevelders. If you are interested, lmk! Thanks

hey everyone, I need to ask this because I need to be sure that she will be fine. I worry. I have a hen that lives in the house with me, and has for years. She's naughty and tries to eat everything. My house is practically baby proofed. Anyways... I have my ears stretched to 16mm. Sunni...

Hello everyone, I am located in West MI, and I need to find a home for my small flock of six hens. I will be moving into an apartment out of state some time in the next 6-12 months, and it is no longer an option for me to keep my birds. These hens are kept as pets, not necessarily for egg...

Hello everyone! I have a hen that is 3 years and 5 months old (avatar photo). She has been living in my house for 3 years this month. She was in my house for serious rehab and imprinted on me, and never went back outside. Her name is Sunni. Sunni is very bonded with me. She follows me...

I have a three year old Leghorn who has been experiencing symptoms of being egg bound (sitting in the nest box all day, swollen underside, moving slow when she is normally full of energy, tail down, no eggs in weeks when she normally lays daily, etc.) for the last two months. At first giving her...

Hello everyone. I have a young three month old bantam rooster that has been crowing almost constantly since he learned how to crow. The crowing doesn't bother me at all, but the thing is.... I'm not allowed to have roosters at all where I live. So this little guy is a house pet. But he crows...

Okay... So I have a question. Is it possible to ship a chick/chicks, that are not day olds? I have a 4-6 week old baby that I need to get home with me (currently in Arkansas, home is in Michigan). It is a rare Kentucky Speck baby, that I would really like to get home with me. I am flying home on...

So I am having a pretty bad problem with picking in my flock of 6 hens. Foot picking, to be more precise. My hens are starting to pick at each other's feet, to the point where one of my hens can't even be outside without some kind of bandage, or they will pick at her feet so bad they are...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is in the right section of the forums, but I have a question. I have a hen that is almost two years old. She lives in our house, and because of the climate difference, she didn't molt this winter like the rest of the hens outside did. That isn't at all concerning...

Hey guys! It's Ashley. I haven't been on BYC in ages........ But hi! I'm not sure who all is still on this forum, or if any of you even remember me. It's been a few months. XD But anyways, this is my new chat thread. Anyone can join, so feel free to just start posting.

I noticed a few weeks ago that one of my leghorns started forming a small bump on the top of her foot. I inspected it, and the bottom of her foot, and assumed it was just a small growth. Well, I noticed on Monday that her foot was starting to become very swelled around the pad of it, and the...

I have found myself looking for every tiny little sign that Spring is almost upon us.... anyone else? So far what I have come across..... 1. My girls are laying more eggs, 2. My cats are shedding hair like crazy (I can't even hold them without getting a shirt and mouth full of hair...), 3...

Over the past two months, two of my hens have been picking on my EE. She's at the bottom of the pecking order, so she's their target. It went from a simple peck on the head to tugging out the feathers on her back and pecking big spots in her back. I have taken my EE out of the coop three times...

I have a small flock of 9 hens. One of them lives in the house. The one in the house did not lay an egg today, but I got 9 eggs. I have two hens that lay white eggs (Leghorns) but I got three white eggs today. Is it possible for chickens to lay more than one egg in a day? I could have sworn...

Due to this long, cold, snow filled winter, I am dealing with some very bored hens. One of them has decided that she wants to take out her frustration on the other girls. It started out that she was just pulling a feather here and there. Now she chases and tackles the other girls are rips large...

A few weeks ago I noticed that my girls were starting to pull out each other's feathers. Especially my Easter Egger's. Her beard is almost completely pulled out due to boredom. I have tried hanging cabbages, and giving the girls all kinds of table scraps, hoping to keep them busy and to stop...

I am trying to get some more practice at drawing, but I need some things to draw. Right now I am at the stage where I can't draw anything unless it is animated, and it can't be too elaborate. If you have any animated pictures that you would like me to draw, post them below. Thanks!

For years I have raised chickens, and I have always had a rooster. Up until two months ago. We just moved into the city limits and sadly could not take our rooster with us. My rooster was always top of the pecking order, but he was never overly bossy or mean to the girls. Now that I know...
