    Are you a parent of a child that wanted chickens as pets who has now lost interest, or is unable to care for the chickens anymore?

    Circumstances change and this is particularly true for young people as life demands they make changes such as going to college, getting a job, leaving home and forming relationships outside of the family. What were their pets and hopefully their responsibilities can suddenly become yours...

    Some of the pictures in this article are showing for some people but not others. They all show for me. What needs to be done to sort this out? https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/flat-pack-coop-takedown-and-appraisal.78406/ Never mind. I can see the problem.

    What, if anything, have you done to notify your BYC friends in the event of your death?

    Whatever one thinks about the idea of Internet friends there isn't much doubt that many people make genuine friendships here on BYC. Some members have been coming here for over a decade and may have got to know many of the regular posters. I've already seen quite a few disappear and I can't help...

    Muscovy ducks bathing after duck house is cleaned.

    Just wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour. There is a very large concrete basin full of water close to the duck houses. The design of the ducks houses means the ducks sleep on the floor; not ideal I know. I try to clean them out twice a week. Each time I clean the ducks houses and...
