Ok, I've had poultry and waterfowl my whole life, but this one has me stumped, I've never had a problem like this. An extended family member hatched about 50 Black Copper Marans, and gave me half. Hers are fine, but mine have been dying at the rate of about 4 a week, I only have 5 left. They...
Sorry to hear that, it sounds like the SPCA might be your only choice. We have a local family from India that will take roosters and hens from us that are any age, for eating. As long as it's free, they don't care. But if you're in a hurry, the SPCA might be your best bet. Good luck on...
I know, that's exactly what I'm afraid of - he said he'd be glad to buy more in the future, and seemed to be genuine, but I don't want to be naive. He spoke heavily accented English, so I'm hoping where he comes from "we don't usually eat them" means "we only eat the ugly and mean ones." =)...

Hey all, I've been on here awhile but haven't posted much. How many posts do I need before I can add pictures? My internet is really slow and I can't seem to find the page with the new member rules/instructions.
Hope this was the right place to post this.
Thanks in advance!
Before I knew much about chickens, it didn't matter to me who or where my eggs or chicks came from. But now that I've had chickens for quite a few years, I look for the NPIP # before I buy - even though I'm not certified yet either.
Ridgerunner is right, I think most states don't care where...
