    2 good cats

    I have two 9yo felines, 1 male, 1 female, in need of a home. They're both fixed and healthy. They are very lovable and have quite the personality. The female is a slim, feisty little thing, about 4-5lbs. The tom is lanky and bigger, 12lbs+. Neither is overweight and both are very pleasant...

    Michigan ducks

    Hey all. I'm in need of re-homing 3 ducks here in Gaylord Michigan. They're all around 7 mos old; 2 hens, 1 drake. The hens are a Pekin and Rouen, while the drake is a Khaki. They're used to people, but obviously run if you try to grab them. They all know their names and actually come from the...

    Odd duck hen behavior?

    I have 3 ducks; a Rouen, Pekin and Khaki. The Rou and Pek are females, the Khaki is a handsome drake. The females are irritating to me with their constant loud chatter and need to vocalize all the time(their loud mouths drew a red fox in). The big problem I'm having, is the Rouen mounting the...

    Confusing RR behavior

    I have a year old RR hen, that hasn't laid since late February or so. She's solid and healthy body-wise, eats and drinks and poops regularly...yet, can't seem to make it happen? She'll go in and lay on a nest like she's going to, but nothing is ever there. I felt for egg-boundness, and nothing...

    Curious

    So one of our EE' s feet seems to have discolored over the winter. It's just pinkish, almost like the green regressed. She acts and feeds normal, laid 3 straight days recently and shows no ill effects. Could this be from walking in snow or scratching on icy/snowy ground? Her other foot is...

    Sad morning in Michigan

    Lost our SLW this morning. She was fine and active yesterday, but dead this morning. I am so bummed. I know it's "just a chicken", but I don't care. She was one of my babies and I'm so mad at myself. I don't know what happened for sure, as her body showed no signs of anything, aside from two...

    Impossible intergration?

    Can chickens just not be feasible to intergrate at times? We have one pen with 2 birds, BR and SLW and another with 3 birds, RR and 2 EE's. They've been visible to each other for months now, yet are still temperamental towards each other. The main culprits are the RR and SLW, but our BR does it...

    4 down, 1to go

    Well, our young RR laid her first egg today, right outside the coop...Lol. One EE to go. Our BR is the only consistent layer; she hasn't missed a beat. Our SLW is moulting, so none for her and our other EE hasn't laid for awhile. Snowin' and blowin' all the time has slowed the egg laying. One...

    Leg injuries

    What kind of leg injuries can a chicken happen upon? Our BR was fine when I let them out early this morning, but is now limping around. I don't think it's broken or anything, but she did something to it. She's acting normal in every way and foraging still, she just has a limp and won't favor...

    Egg color variance

    This is just a curiosity question, but do Wyandottes typically lay light, almost cream brown eggs? Our Barred Rock lays beautiful deep, cinnamon brown eggs, so now that our Dotte is laying too, hers were somewhat of a surprise.

    Sorry, another " he or she" post

    I've been on the fence with our SL Wyandotte since it really started filling out. I always thought hen, but the long legs, slimmer build and upright posture keeps me thinking. It does have a "fuzzy" butt, and gets along just fine with our Barred Rock hen. The comb and wattles are less developed...

    Early layer?

    Hey all...our Barred Rock hen laid her first egg yesterday. It was only the size of a ping-pong ball, but had nice coloring. She's around 12-13 wks of age. We're still new to this, but it seems quite early for eggs?

    Whats going on?

    My wife and I got into the chicken game this spring. We love them! They're for pets and eggs only. One barred-rock, two wyandottes; 1 silver, 1 gold. All are around 8-9 wks, fully feathered and growing fast. They've all grown up together and been fine, but the last week or so, the GW is...
