    Texoma area (DFW) ISO Roosters of any breed that get along and a silkie (price is just to get this t

    Price open to discussion, obviously. I don't know how to submit a wanted ad with a price....? And it won't let me without putting one.... LOL (Monday somewhere!) I lost my two roos in a tragedy several months ago. The problem child is under control now and the girls and miss the presence...

    Bubbles the Peahen needs a new home

    I have an animal sanctuary and among my charges are 27 chickens (no one goes to freezer camp here!). Last spring, a peahen showed up from down the road. The previous owner did not want her back--she had had peacocks who, one by one, had disappeared, she thought from bobcats or coyotes. (We...

    Naked Chicken--what to do?

    We have a Barred Rock who has lost all but a few tail feathers on her back end, most of the feathers on her wings. The rest of her feathers look OK. She came with three other barred rocks who aren't having this issue, and she lives with 31 other chickens (including her three "sibs") and nobody...

    Shell-less egg?

    We had ferocious winds today which knocked over the "coop" (more of a harem tent centered on heavy chain link panels arranged in a cube). As soon as I knew, I went out to make sure no one was underneath (no one was--whew!). There were a few eggs, and one with totally no shell at all, just the...

    Food and water questions

    How much can one expect to feed? I have 22 chickens, including four adolescents, one roo and two of the remaining actually laying fairly regularly. I know they slow down in colder weather, and I'm impressed with whichever two are staying busy. I'm paying about $14 for 50# of the Layena, and I...

    WTB: young pullets within 50 miles of Van Alstyne TX

    Presently have two hens (RIR and Buff Orph) starting "retirement," and recently purchased three barred rock ladies. (They are getting along great, btw.) Was within inches of buying a neighbor's flock at auction when (unbelievably) someone from 5 hours away outbid me. I should have been more...

    Pecked--bleeding back end, tail feathers mostly gone, dripping blood

    I rescued the victim, put him back in the 8 x 8 x 8 chain link cage by our back door so s/he could heal. I am somewhat concerned about cleaning the wound, which bled pretty freely (dripping as we left the chicken yard). I know the bleeding itself can help remove any debris, but I'm also...

    When can chicks join adult hens? (Free ranging)

    Hi--I have had chickens since Easter day. My best friend gave me a Rhode Island Red and (I think) a brown leghorn that she had had for a while. The next day I went to buy scratch and the dyed Easter chicks were marked down to a dollar, so I got a dozen. I'm really surprised I didn't buy them...
