    Rainbow Chicken Breed - Available

    Are you familiar with the RAINBOW Chicken. I just became acquainted at a new barn where my horse is boarding. I've fallen in love with them. They grow fast, are friendly, beautiful and excellent layers. Even the roosters are friendly. The feather pattern is unique and comes in a variety, no...

    Rhodie Sweet Young Rooster "Oliver" needs a home

    I hate to let go of this sweet boy, but I have to. He is 6 months old and was supposed to be a little hen. We only have 6 hens and one rooster already. The Rooster we have is a banty and very tiny. We think Oliver is a Rhode Island. He's up for adoption for a protector of your flock. I've hand...

    Greener Pastures Chicken Feed Recipe

    I see references and links to this Green Pastures Farm recipe all over the internet including this forum, but the link doesn't take me anywhere. Can someone tell me what this recipe is. I would love to make my own whole grain organic feed. Even though I can get organic layer nearby, I don't...

    Sweet Little Oliver, 3 month old Rhodie Cockerel Needs a Home

    I want to keep him, but alas we only have 6 hens and one roo already. He's super sweet, has been hand raised on organic food, not just feed, and free ranging most of the day. He's super healthy and happy and gets along with everyone. He's not for the soup pot, he's a pet or for protection for...

    Mystery Chicken

    So, we went to pick up our 2 day old buff orpington chick and turned out later, as she matured, that we got some mystery chicken instead. She's now 3 months old. Here she is. She's got a nice light pink comb thankfully which is a good sign of a girl. We are thinking she's a production red...

    What is this chick?

    We purchased a one day old sexed girl chick buff ORPINGTON. But now at 3 weeks, she's clearly not an Orpington. Anybody know what she is?

    Wellsummer Amazing Healthy Rooster to Re-Home - Stillwater, Minnesota

    Hemlock is my guy. I love him and we have the best time. He's the best protector of my flock and provides hours of entertainment for us. Sadly, I must re-home Hemlock because my flock is too small for a large rooster. If he were smaller or I had more hens, it would be great. But as is, he...

    Best Heated Waterer

    I live in Minnesota and it gets really cold. I've been reading all the posts about heated waterers. It looks like the plastic ones suck. Most people are happy with the galvanized heated base one, or some others like the heated dog bowls. Can someone please tell me the pros and cons to these...

    Injury to neck/waddle area? I can't tell what happened or what to do

    5 month old brahma hen this morning showed up in the run with this wormy thing hanging from where her short waddle used to be. Upon closer inspection, I could see there was some sort of cut. It was black at the time, so the blood had dried. I took her inside the house and gently wet it to...

    Two Roosters in small flock, what to do?

    I adopted an abused Welsummer Rooster this summer to my little six hen flock. The girls were only about 4 months when the big Rooster arrived. They were terrified of him at first, but now the BIG Welsummer is a good protector. He jumps daily on the 3 more mature hens. The three hens just...

    Floor material for chicken run

    Can anyone tell me what the desired material is for the chicken run. Mine is a combination of some grass that's barely hanging in there, dirt, and I put grit by the door. I've noticed that some runs look like they might use sand or rock. Thanks.

    red/purple poop

    This was on the window sill where the girls like to sit this morning. The piece of wood is about 3 inches across, to give you an idea of how large this is. It appears that someone poops very watery-purply-reddish poop. They have been eating blueberries. But, still I'm concerned it could be...

    De Beaked Rooster Can't Feed Properly

    I just took on a rescue chicken (rooster). He's a New Hampshire under one year old. He was de-beaked and his tail feathers are gone from being confined in too small an area without a roost. He was in a cage thus far, so his first day outdoors was quite the experience for him. He took a 2...

    how to identify mites

    My chickens love to roost in the window sill. The sill is too small now that the chicks are teenagers. So, I just last night made it bigger. They have plenty of roosting poles at different heights but prefer the window sill. Anyway....they push each other sort of into the screen of the...
