Hi Amber! Welcome to Vegas and welcome to chickens! I've been here 10 years myself, and we got our chicks 6 months ago! We have 11... types are in my signature below :) They have been a LOT of fun, I never knew chickens could be so interesting and have such a range of personalities, or be so...

I've been busy with kids and stuff so I haven't bee around much. We lost a chicken yesterday, it was the rescue chicken... we suspect she was much older than the original owner (before my sister in law got her) claimed. She was recovering from the bullying, feathers were grown back, all her...

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/grd/4048965065.html This is from the parents of a friend of mine here in town, a neighbor complained and now they need to get rid of their 13 laying hens and a coop :( If you know of anyone interested please direct them to the link.

Have you tried posting on Craigs List? That's how I found a home for my Roo.

I have been using sand in my coop and it has been great! My girls have the softest feathers and I am sure it's from the sand baths they take :) It is super easy to clean too!

thanks :) She really is very sweet. I think my sister in law just had some mean hens. They had purchased 4 hens from a lady several months ago, they all got sick right away and I think the change in environment shook them up too. My sister in law was always protecting this hen and chasing the...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/814177/rescuing-a-hen-questions#post_11818430 I posted this over in the managing your flock thread. I have a rescue chicken, her owners sent her to me because she was being bullied and abused by the other chickens and they had no time to monitor their flock...

She's actually looking better, it's been about a week.. She was raw and bloody when I got her (I didn't think to take pics at the time) and her right eye was swollen shut, you can see from these pics that many of her feathers are missing or the fluff has been stripped from them.. The new...

Yes the second one is a RIR :) She is actually the smallest of our flock, even though they are the same age. Just like people there is a range of sizes that is considered normal. I have a RIR that is noticeably bigger (Fluttershy) than the rest and then the one in the pic with my daughter that...

That sounds like a great idea... I'll need to let the hen heal first before I do this, but will definitely be using this idea. Thanks!

My 5yo daughter has earned the title of "The Chicken Whisperer" lol the chickens all follow her around and never run from her (they are generally friendly). Yesterday she went in the backyard and asked if she could let the chickens out, I said sure and to let me know when she wanted help putting...

Thanks for replying so quickly, I understand the time commitment. I spend a lot of time with my chickens, they're fun to watch and really are just as much pets as my parrot, with the added benefit of being household contributers (eggs not meat) :) One of the reasons my SIS asked me in the first...

I have a small backyard flock (all hens), 4 months old: 5 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Goldstars(red sexlink), 1 Silver Laced Cochin, a 5 month old Buff Orpington, and 2 12 month old Buff Orpingtons... My sister in law has a chicken that is about 2 years old and is severley bullied by her other hens, to...

I'm sorry you won't be able to make it :( Hope you're feeling better quickly!

We added 3 new chickens on Monday night! 3 Buff Orpingtons :) Two are mature (18 mos old) and one is an adolescent, about 5 months old (a month older than all our other chicks). One of the chickens started laying the first morning! They've also integrated into the flock pretty well as far as I...

Sure thing coupedup!

9 sounds great!

I'm at Cheyenne and Durango... Saturday should be fine. There is a Starbucks right there, across from the park :) What time? Morning-ish would work better for me on the weekend... In other news, I got 3 Buff Orpingtons last night! 2 are adults (18 mos old) and one is about 5 months old (the...

Sorry, I just got home from a camping trip, this Friday works for me! Coffee or lunch? Really anything works for me! My only real plans on Friday is to pick up some more chickens to add to my flock :) I'm getting 3 Buff Orpingtons from a friend!

I'm in the North West (regular neighborhood) too :) Wouldn't mind meeting up and talking shop. I'm pretty new to this myself (our chicks were hatched on 4/3). Coffee or lunch sounds great!
