    Hello Bay Area folks! I have 3 young roosters in need of a new home. One Golden laced Wyandotte and two Delaware Heritage breed, all hatched at the end of March and hand-raised. They've just started crowing in the last few weeks. They're well socialized with people, kids, dogs & cats. I'm...

    Roos gone - Hens depressed

    I have to think that there's already a thread on this topic, but I haven't been able to find it. If anyone knows of one, please paste a link. (I haven't completely figured out the search features here) We had two boys who grew up with the hens (the chicks were sold to us "sexed" but someone...

    Feeding Carpet Pythons

    I was just wondering if there are any other python owners here. I've got a 4 year old Carpet Python, and I usually feed him live rats, but lately he's been getting quite sloppy on the kills. I don't mind feeding him live animals, but I don't want them to suffer for 2-3 minutes while he figures...

    Polish Roos - Free!

    Three young roosters need to find new homes: Roy, Little Wing, and Ziff (Ziff might be a CreveCoeur or a black polish... not really sure) I bought them at 1-day-old from a local feed store and raised them in my house with 11 other chicks. They transitioned to the outdoors over the Winter...

    Open-top Nesting Box Debate

    So... I raise chickens with my neighbors is this strange, sort of communal set up. One of my neighbors is the official "Chicken Lady" because she's been doing this longest, and I usually take her advice on everything chicken-related. However... We need to build several more nesting boxes and...

    Thank You!

    Happy 2011 Everybody! I'm not the most tech-savvy BYC member, and I'll be the first to admit that I don't much know what I'm doing with this whole "urban farming" thing; but I've so enjoyed this site and all of the informative threads, especially "what NOT to do when building your coop," that I...

    Burnt Egg?

    About a month ago, my neighbor's chicken laid what looked like a burnt egg. It was a smokey mahogany color, and very rough and bumpy. Yesterday morning, I found an egg and the insides (no shell or membrane) of a second egg together on the floor under the roost, not in the nest. The yolk of the...

    So embarassed... I think I traumatized my pullet.

    Long story short: one of my girls got trapped under an upturned tupperware and I wasn't found for TWO WHOLE DAYS! When we got her out she was soaked (in H2O from her own breath?), caked with poo, and unquenchably thirsty. I had to take the food and water out of the brooder eventually because I...

    Howdy, folks...

    Hi, I'm new. You'll probably be seeing very little from me; I am busy reading everything on this site and taking notes. My neighbors and I are renters, but we share yard space, and collectively own 20 chickens. We're building a new hen-house and run, and BYC has been a great source of ideas...
