Didn't know about this- thanks! I just found a home for him.

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't realize there was a rehoming page.

This 4-5 month old rooster was purchased from a heritage breeder in McLeansboro, IL, and was suppose to be a pullet, and just started crowing yesterday. Perfect for breeding, free to good home, needs to be gone by tomorrow. Located in Ellisville, MO (St. Louis) 314-614-4731

I have a four month old true breed black Ameraucana that started crowing today. I need to get rid of her (him) immediately before someone in my subdivision hears him. Their coop/run is in the woods behind our house, but I still live in the suburbs. Anyone have any ideas on what to do (humanely)...

Thanks so much for the advice, I just ordered some peepers, and will give it a try. :)

Thank you so much for the advice!

I would try anything at this point, hate to get rid of my 3 year old australorp. How do those peepers stay on? Can she still eat while wearing that?

I've read how to do it right, still not working. Here is the scenario, my 3 yr old Australorp (originally from a flock of two, one died) easily accepted 3 new pullets that were 4 months old (did the look, don't touch method, with them on the pen floor in a large dog cage) Those three are 9...

My pullets are 31 weeks old and still haven't started laying! Is it the shortening days in Missouri? Will a light in their coop help??

She seems completely better today, and active again. Hmmmm. Thanks for your advice!

Does anyone have experience with electrolytes with chickens? Is the sugar and salt content safe in Gatorade?

It is in the 80’s and dry. I live in missouri

Her feathers look perfect and healthy, none missing, she is just resting in the corner, not really interacting with the others. I did let them free range today, and she walked slowly out of the pen about 3 feet, and just stood there, and eventually slowly walked back in and went to the corner. I...

She is walking slowly, one eye is shut, not watery or pussy, she will open it, and it looks fine, but she mostly keeps it closed. Hasn't started laying yet, she doesn't feel bound up. She isn't interested in the usual snacks of fruit I bring to them several times a week. Yesterday she was just...

I have a silver laced wyandotte, and two easter eggers that are 6-1/2 months old. When will they lay? They are fed layena pellets, fruits and veggie scraps every single day. I have 4 hens total, (one two year old black astralorp that lays daily) 2 coops, with 2 next boxes inside of each, all...

My Black Australorp has had a white chalky look to her light brown eggs lately. It doesn't rub off, just curious if someone is deficient in her diet, or if this is normal? She isn't molting currently.

So I read somewhere that leaves and mulch don't drain well or dry out very fast, and that is why I put sand in the base of their run. However, there seems to be a layer of matted poop on top of the sand now, which draws fllies. I would love to put a deep layer of leaves, pine needles, grass...

Those 7-9 range eggs are extraordinary! Wow, much coveted I am sure. Why am I such an egg dork, always seeking out the crazy hard to find colors?!?

My run is an 8' x 10' fortified cube (I've lost a lot of girls to predators), with 2 coops elevated above. The ground is chicken wire covered with sand for drainage. I guess I could put peat and ash (from firepit, no food) piled in a corner, but it wouldn't last long. What is deep litter? Like...

They are 24 weeks old, still waiting for that first egg, hope it is more blue than green!
