    2 month old Danish Brown Leghorn cockerel-near San Jose, CA

    Hey, all! I need to rehome a sweet little Danish Brown Leghorn cockerel. He's just over 2 months old and is fairly sweet. He will run away from you, but tolerates being held. I'm sure with some love (and treats) he'll warm up to you just fine. He's not aggressive to humans at all and has just...

    Rooster?

    Hi! I have a danish brown leghorn who is two months old. It’s supposed to be a pullet, but I have my doubts. I know brown leghorns have large combs in both sexes, but this one is looking more and more rooster like. Sometimes it’ll make a weak crowing noise (kind of a bawk-BAWK but none of the...

    Lone silkie with larger breeds. Advice?

    Hello! I had two young silkies with two Golden Comet hens and they were getting along fine. Unexpectedly, one of the silkies unexpectedly passed away the other day. I’m beginning to worry that the remaining silkie is getting bullied and will be sad. Should I just wait and see how this plays out...

    Overgrown Beak

    Hi, friends! I recently got two Golden Comet hen and they’re as sweet as can be! I have noticed that their beaks are slightly overgrown, but not to the point that it incapacitates them. Should I try and file/clip the overgrown parts? Thanks in advance!

    Adult bobwhites not laying...ideas?

    Hey, friends. I have 5 mature female bobwhites that hatched out in September. None of them have laid eggs yet. I was wondering since I got the "Georgia Giant" variety there may be something wrong in their genes since they were bred specifically to be larger. Once there were a total of 16 in the...

    Mysterious Quail Death

    So, this past Saturday, I had a quail acting very lethargic. I took him inside to take care of him. He wouldn’t drink by himself, so I used and eye dropper to hydrate him. A few hours later, he had a seizure and passed away. After he died, mucus was expelled from his mouth. This morning, I...

    Nice, quiet chickens

    Hey, friends. I have some family that is planning on getting a couple chickens from TSC or another feed store for a suburban setting. They plan on being hush-hush about it so they’ll need a quiet breed. Are sex-linked chickens usually quiet, or are the other breeds that are usually sold quiet...

    Gooseberry the bobwhite quail

    Hey friends, just though I'd show you some pictures of my "chosen quail" because he is such a king. Gooseberry is a Georgia Giant Bobwhite quail (though I accidentally said Jumbo Wisconsin in my intro...whoops) and he is pretty dominant. Y'all can share your pictures if you'd like to.
