    can't post a bird for sale??

    I read the rules and couldn't find a place to 'agree'. How do I post that? Also, what if I have a chicken I would just like to find a good home, no money exchanged... Is there a better place to post that? I thought maybe a local thread... I don't want to ship it, just drop it off if someone...

    Poor Arucana broke her beak somehow this morning. I am not sure how she did it. The is no more bleeding, it clotted on its own. I have washed it gently but not treated it yet with anything for fear of ingestion. I brought her inside and fed her some grits (very watery) and scrambled eggs...
