    Ronb I would be interested in a sussex, the friendlier to people the better. I had one in my mixed flock and it turned out roo and had to be rehomed. All of my birds are Pets first, layers second, and spoiled rotten. I'm in Snohomish.

    Two cockerels need forever homes.

    I have a 12 week old Speckled Sussex, and an 11 week old Barred Rock. They are extremely healthy, handled regularly, have not crowed, show no aggression. I would love to see them find their own flocks to look after, free to good homes. I would love you receive updates about them. Broken hearted...

    Rooster neutering?

    They are 11 and 12 weeks and have no bad behavior. I wouldn't do it strictly to change behavior. I need to be able to have them both together safely and not have fertilized eggs if I keep them. I was hoping that a qualified vet would be able to minimize the stress and risk. As far as weight...

    Rooster neutering?

    I sought her out for my chickens solely, as I have a vet for my lizards, a vet for my cats (cat only practices are less stressful to my rescue cat), and a vet for the dogs. The whole flock of girls I have were checked out by her when we got them, and will get in home annuals as well. If anyone...

    Rooster neutering?

    My partner and I are both vegetarian. Our chickens are companion animals first, layers second. We don't have any roosters, as we are uncomfortable eating fertilized eggs. We had two of our chicks turn out to be cockerels this year, and are basically heart broken at the idea of giving them up. We...

    does anyone have any recommendations on where I could post to rehome my two cockerels? One barred rock 11 weeks and one speckled sussex 12 weeks, both beautiful and well handled and loved. Really hoping to find them a long term home.

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    can I get some votes on pullet or cockerel for my wcbp? Sexed as a female, but we had a plucking incident after she broke 2 blood feathers and now I can tell much by the puff and it's wonky and I'm having roo anxiety. This is from before. It always seemed uniform to me, she was 4 months here.

    Barred Rocks!!

    I have seen some BR hens with decent sized combs but something about this one had me questioning. I may be psyching myself out here, but I feel like I see spur bumps starting too?! This chick is 11 weeks old. [/IMG]

    Hobbit Hole Coops

    yes as they aren't out in the run I change it weekly (for the 3 weeks of confinement) after that I'll have the poop hammock to dump daily and will change the pine monthly. I spend time with them in the coop, I keep it vigilantly clean.

    Hobbit Hole Coops

    the foam was removed when the chickens were placed in it, and they get 6 inches of new pine shavings weekly, and like I said the window is always open and the door almost always is as well.

    Hobbit Hole Coops

    The lower roost is temporary while they're small and the boxes are basically equal to that one. They can be installed one joint lower if I move the feeders somehow, but currently its above the floor about one chicken tall. As for ventilation, the skylight is raised in the middle for drainage and...
