Hi everybody, I know this has been asked a zillion times before, but I'm wondering what everybody else thinks. I got this rooster at a swap a couple months ago, so he's about 6 months old now. I was told he was a Jersey Giant. Well, I never thought to check his feet until a few days ago and was...
Hi Everybody! Not sure if this is the right section for this, but I got this chick, along with its 11 siblings and mama when it was a day old. Mama reminds me of a dutch bantam, but she's not as small and has red earlobes. Her colors are wild type, and I figured this chick was too, until one day...
Hi Everybody! I have a question. First, here's the story... about 3 weeks ago, I answered an ad on Craigslist for a free mama and babies. The man explained how people dump chickens on his property because he's right next to a large pasture that's basically a rescue for geese and llamas. He...

Hi everybody, I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, but a few weeks ago my sister found 6 chickens dumped in the desert by my house and I ended up adopting them. I was told to quarantine them from my other chickens on another post I had made. On chicken was very young, maybe about 4 weeks...
Hello! I'm new to this site and I just have a question! Today, my sister found some chickens roaming around in the desert next to our house while she was walking her dog. They seemed confused as if they were just dumped there. With the help of my mom and a neighbor, we chased and caught all 6...
