7 month old cockerel free to a new home from Hertfordshire, UK. He is very focused on protecting his girls but has become very aggressive towards my one year old. Thus, we can't keep him. I strongly suggest a home where there is no children and with someone who won't be afraid of his bad...

Thank you, good tip, done!

Thanks HuskerHens18, that's really helpful

I'd also appreciate if anyone could give me some links to rehoming sites. Thanks

Hi, I think my Orpington is poorly. She's had runny poo for about a week now (mainly light brown in colour) and has now started sneezing. She's lost weight and I don't think she's eating much of the layers pellets as her ceop is still feeling quite soft at the end of the day. She's definitely...
