We own 3 hen:. 1 Barred Rock, 1 Easter Egger, and 1 Buff Orpington. When someone is either in the nesting box to lay an egg or has exited the nesting box because she laid an egg, the girls go into this bawking frenzy. It can get pretty noisy at the time, but the rest of the day, they are quiet...
HI- I really wish I did have them still. I would have loved to see them go to a farm, But I did re-home the boys.
You are in luck, because Roos are not a problem to find. Have you tried reaching out to peeps on the Los Angeles Urban Chicken Enthusiast site? Some really great people on there...
This was the same problem we encountered. Unfortunately, the crowing has no rhyme or reason...midnight, 2am, 3am, 5am, Noon, 2pm, 4pm. Sometimes they can crow for an hour non stop. I don't know how they keep it up. All I can say, is I wish I knew then, what I know now about roosters. It would...
OMG we found you again! Yes- they grew up together. We just took them to Kahoots pet store/feed store this morning. If you are interested and can give them a home I will try to get them.
Pix of our roos are under my profile. The black one is show quality. Both have been raised by our family since they were 3 wks old. They hatched last February. Fed organic food, fresh vegies, fruit & yogurt. Free range during the day, sleep in a custom coop at night (except recently-they have...
We do the same...every night they sleep in the house. Unfortunately there are times when schedule changes occur & the boys need to be out earlier. Earlier than the late night neighbor boys want to be woken up. They make no secret of it either.
Hopefully we will find a loving home where they...
It's tough, but we are determined to get them a good home. Even if they're not together. Do you know anything about shipping full grown chickens (2lbs...LOL)? We've had some people ask, but I don't feel right about it. I don't trust the methods or the people handling the transportation.
Good...
Hi everyone-
Need some help. We have silkie roos that need to be re-homed. Neighbors don't want them around anymore. It breaks our heart to give them up, but we don't have a choice , therefore, would like them to go to a loving home. Thank you.
Last year we embarked on becoming urban chicken owners in northern Los Angeles. Our first two were silkies followed a couple of months later by 4 other chicks ( 2 barred rocks,1 buff and an easter egger) Both of our Silkies turned out to be roos.
We were able to keep them over the last year...
Just found out we can keep 1 roo without a permit. AND Surprise... the black Silkie everyone said was a pullet started crowing last month, 2 wks after my post!!! In 2 days he went from being the friendliest, sweetest, chicken to a total cockerel...wow!! The golden Silkie has only crowed a...
