    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Endangered breeds need rehomed

    Araucauna and 2 campines - No hens, all roosters. 8 of them. Thus my dilemma. Haha. I can't ship but have offered to drive them as far as 5 hours away from here just to ensure their future happiness and safety.

    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Endangered breeds need rehomed

    Unfortunately my leads on folks who would take my roos have fallen through. I'm in a state of desperation at this point. I've written message privately to some of you who inquired.

    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Araucana Roosters need rehomed

    I can't ship them unfortunately, but I can drive them, happily to a good home. Unfortunately, for the most part, the effort to rehome my beloved rare roos, Araucaunas and Campines has been fruitless for the most part. I've had ads up and FTS, facebook groups, Rural King and here with very little...

    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Araucana Roosters need rehomed

    I have too many roosters! I purchased fertilized eggs to participate in a breeding program for this species of bird, but got mostly roosters. I have raised them from hatchlings. I'm preparing to leave the country and move back to the city and obviously can't take them with me. Willing to drive...

    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Endangered breeds need rehomed

    Hi here! I just aw the PM! I still have the one female araucauna, my other girl is a part Arauacauna and part Silkie, she's very sweet, very docile and because of her hybridization, she's deaf in one ear, so she's always trying to turn towards the sounds she hears so she often will spin in...

    OHIO/INDIANA/Michigan - Endangered breeds need rehomed

    My Chickens are like my family to me, and they were purchased in order to participate in a breed recovery program to assist in repopulating some of the species marked as critically endangered by the livestock conservancy, However, have to relocate to a home closer to the city due to health...

    Why is my hen crowing?

    She's crowing alright! Let me tell you about our Hen Tiger, a female swedish flower hen who wasn't really a free ranger but lived in a pen adjoined with those of some talkative campine roosters- perhaps the loudest most vocal breed of rooster... They grew up together so were very familiar with...

    I am devastated, My Sumatra was killed

    Thank you guys so much for the thoughtful words and suggestions. My chickens are so very dear to me. I treasure them. Ignorantly, I never anticipated the vast array or dangers that they would face out here and thus some perished due to my own inadequacy and it has just been an emotionally...

    Killed bird and left it

    I have had racoons do what I call "Sport Kill." Literally, with no interest in eating the chickens but instead just killing and mutilating them. I had one even tear the legs off my hen and leave her lay there alive. It is the most barbaric, savage thing I have ever seen. The worst part is, coons...

    Is is safe enough?

    I have so much appreciation and respect for how your chickens are your babies. Mine are too, but I will tell you, I used a dog kennel to enclose my coop also, and had the top covered with chicken wire. Still, I had a possm get in, then a skink, then a coon and the latter did the most horrific...

    Need some advice on Free ranging my chickens and preditors

    I think it depends on the level of "rural" you live in. I can have my chickens free range around the grass but I live in a swamp and am surrounded by woods on all sides. If I turn my back for even so much as a second a predator appears from woods and attacks them. i lost 8 in one day that were...

    First Loss :(

    I am so sorry for what has happened to you. I know all to well the tragedy, The coop from farm and tractor supply isn't very secure. I have had raccoons actually dig underneath mine to get to the chicken. They also can lift the back lid if it;s not locked and create some heinous carnage unlike...

    I am devastated, My Sumatra was killed

    I live way out in the country, and last year had lost chickens to raccoons. I am a new farm person so this has all been a devastating learning experience for me. Making their pens like fort knox to keep out the predators. Tonight has just done me in, guys My heart is so so sick. My Hen, Sue...
