I'm doing fine. I'll be seeing my estranged best friend tomorrow. I'm quite nervous, my mother has told me she thinks I seem less anxious since I stopped texting my friend and others in her friend group and I really am, I've had trouble sleeping a lot before and now I'm getting at least six...

yes, thank you, if it's not to much trouble. I aim to rescue them sometime in 2019.

Hi, I'm thinking about rescuing some retired egg laying hens from a factory farm, i have room for two currently (and some room to spare). I know how to actually get them but I'm wondering what i do after. how long do i quarantine them for and how far away should they be from the coop? Also how...

Oh also, my chicks just spent their first night in the coop with the big chickens, i can't believe how big they are now it was like yesterday they were just little puffballs that arrived in the mail one morning.

Yeah i didn't raise rooster, i think his previous situation messed up his head a little bit. And it's looking like I'll end up sith a silky rooster one day, what my parents ment is we won't go out of our way to get one but if we end up with one who's not to loud then maybe we can keep him. I'm...

:lau Yes so true!

Okay good-ish news. We should be able to drop rooster off at his new home next Tuesday, and my little chicks and my adult hens are fine with being around each other so i think they may integrate fully pretty fast after rooster is gone. I'm gonna miss him, getting a new rooster on purpose is...

That sounds great for him. I'm unsure how shipping would work, it's looking like the man will be able to take him, so he'll end up with his big brother again, i just hope he'll be happy, we're both attached to each other and it'll certainly be a change for him.

I would love to (adopt don't shop), in fact that's how i came into possession of my adult flock but i don't have an area to quarantine him in. Though the responsibility for caring for the birds is all on me, myself and my flock live with my parents so they have the final say. I could potentially...

Yeah I've been thinking of that, i can order one early next spring if i get chicks. My poor hens have such bad looking backs, rooster doesn't overmate them and he's very polite but he's so heavy i worry he'll damage their joints. Thanks! Oh, and i know it's unlikely and ultimately it doesn't...

I don't understand your statement but i can't cull him. It's hard to explain without getting to personal but he's been a godsend this last year, i owe him to much. And i know the man i have in mind can handle him, if he decides he can't after i explain I'll find someone who can. I won't give him...

I need a rooster to guard, my hens would be dead by now if it wasn't for roo I'm sure of it, he's sounded the alarm as a hawk would be swooping down towards the girls and they've barely escaped. I know it's not a fix all but having him around has certainly made me feel better.

Yeah he was, his big brother Athens was a tyrant. I got rid of him less then a month after he started crowing because he was hurting the hens. He hurt rooster a lot to. I gave him to the same man i think I'm going to give my rooster to, he has multiple roosters in a very large flock i think...

i know, it's just hard. I love him so much I've tried so hard to fix him but now in the end none of it was worth it, i wish i had just given him away with his brother a year ago it would've been easier for everyone. He would've been happier. I'm going to try to give him to the man, or if that...

I'm going to, i spoke to my mother this morning. It'll hurt to see him go my flock won't be the same without him.

As far as i can tell they're all pullets, I've posted a few threads here and everyone says they all look like pullets. He's attacking everyone, every one of the chicks has been pecked relentlessly and my little d'uccle even started bleeding at one point and after that i stopped letting the...

I'll mull it over, I'd love to give rooster to the same guy he has so much more room i mean like an actual pasture, I'll miss my little friend horribly but i know he'd be very happy there. I have plenty of room in my yard and a patch of woods but still i could never do better then that, there...

Thanks, i hope so to.

I'll look in more to the pinless peepers, the chicks are just so small, maybe a fourth of his size now (he is very large, he's twice as large as the hens) and he pecks them like he wants to eat them. I guess the insecurity could be it, he used to have a brother he was submissive to before i got...
