Well, I’m glad there’s not some horrible health risk that I didn’t know about. I can’t imagine keeping a whole bunch of chickens with any major health issue - I have to talk myself into taking care of my small flock when I’ve got a bad cold!

That’s what has me scratching my head - apparently the doc told her she had to rehome them immediately.

Hey, All - a friend of mine told me that his aunt is having to rehome her 140 chickens because she has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart due to chicken and duck keeping. I have never heard of anything like that - wondering if it’s just a case of misinformation and I can’t ask her directly...

Hi Folks! I have a rooster that I can’t keep - I’m in Thornton, Co. Thought I’d check if anyone near me is interested! Thanks!

Hi Colorado peeps! I am wondering if anyone near me is interested in my Mille Fleur D'Uccle cockerel. He's about 5 weeks old and I can't have roosters, darn it. :(

I will post some pictures when this one is all grown :)

I thought so too! I lost my beloved bantam Cochin on Saturday and found myself standing in front of the bin, red rimmed eyes, later discovering my comfy, sad pants were on inside out. I can’t even imagine what the salesperson thought of me. I showed him pictures of my Cochin. I saw that the...

I definitely will! A friend suggested a Mille Fleur, also.

Here are a few more pictures.

She's beautiful! I'd be thrilled if she were a Partridge Cochin, too.

They do!

These chicks are either 4 or 5 weeks old, have feathered feet and according to the salesperson at the feed store. They are from Murray McMurray and the sign said, "assorted purebred bantam." Any guesses? I am leaning toward Golden Laced Cochins...

It's so awful when something just happens in an instant - I've just been replaying it all over and over wishing I could go back and change those seconds. Such a wonderful, trusting bird. She is greatly missed. Thank you all sincerely for your words and advice.

Thank you, I think she was ok - she was so little that I don't think she 'got it'. The chicks are roosting with the others now. Thankfully it seems that they will all be just fine.

I’m angry at myself. I should have put a lock on the gate that separates their area to range and the rest of my yard. Thank you for easing my worries about the chicks - they have lots of places to hide.

They have all been together since the chicks were a day old - I just worried that without momma, they’d be targets. They put themselves to bed in the nest box they’d shared with Tabby. All of my hens and the ducks seem very reserved tonight. I had a birthday party tonight and a small child saw...

Hi all, hoping for some advice. My favorite hen was killed tonight and I am completely destroyed - she was raising 3 chicks who are now 5 weeks old and 2 ducklings who are 6 weeks old. The chicks were still sleeping under her each night and she was an excellent protector and teacher for all 5 of...

I can't offer a guess but, that might be the most adorable chick I've ever laid eyes upon! :love

More pictures of the babies and the proud new momma.

So much good advice! Thank you!
