    FREE: Speckled Sussex cockeral, about 16 weeks (Vancouver, WA/PDX)

    I need to rehome my young cockeral (free). He's a good boy - healthy, very pretty, not aggressive - but he's just started crowing and it's not going to work in my suburban neighborhood. Speckled Sussex roos are supposed to be great - handsome and docile. Just look at his curious-but-wise eyes...

    Hi there, I have three chicks (9ish weeks) who have been living with my three hens for the past few weeks. They sleep all together in the coop without incident, but as they free-range all day, they stick to their own age groups and don't interact with the others at all (except for one hen...

    My chickens have started roosting on top of their coop...how can I stop that?

    Sacramento/Roseville/Rocklin Chicken Keepers - are you missing a BLRW hen?

    I saw a post on my NextDoor about a wandering hen in the Antelope Creek neighborhood that looks like a blue-laced red Wyandotte. Is she yours? She hasn't been captured, but if she's spotted again I'll go try and catch her.

    Hi all! I've been raising my first chicks for the past 10 weeks. I'm pretty confident that two of them are girls and have had a sinking feeling for a few weeks that one is a cockerel. the fourth one I was sure was female but is suddenly giving me cause for question. Help me out? Pretty sure...
