    Buff Orpington hen free to a good home! 3 years old. Detroit, MI

    I temporarily moved out of state and rented out my house to a friend but she's vacating so I need to find a good home for the hen. Please let me know if you have other chicken friends for her and can take her! Or if you know of any good resources in the area to find a good home, that would...

    What to look for when checking on chickens in the cold?

    It ended up hitting 6F and I went out this morning and they were just as excited and happy as always to see me! (With treats of course haha.) Thank you all so much for the guidance and reassurance! For those who were in a similar situation, how do your chickens look?

    What to look for when checking on chickens in the cold?

    Thank you! I'm guessing if I see these icy feathers, I should take them inside? It sounds bad, but not sure what's life threatening to them.

    What to look for when checking on chickens in the cold?

    Thank you! If I'm checking in the middle of the night, do you think they're fine as long as they're asleep?

    What to look for when checking on chickens in the cold?

    I've obsessively read all there is in these forums about the cold, coop ventilation, water freezing, frostbite, everything about precautions to take with the cold. I know I'm being neurotic but it's going to be 12F where I am next week and thus far my two buff orps (both about six months old)...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Thank you, @penny1960! Yes he is military so close to his work at base is important. I work finance so imagine I may have a farther commute if we live somewhere quieter, which is okay. I will look into those, thank you!

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Hi! Hopefully I'm using the state thread correctly, but please let me know if this isn't the best place. I currently own a house in the midwest have two pet chickens (both hens). I have a huge yard and plenty of the room for them to roam outside during the day and a run and coop for them at...

    How can I find a place to rent that allows chickens?

    I currently own my home and have two pet chickens. I love them and don't want to have to give them up! But my husband and I will likely have to move across the country soon and will have to rent. We won't be buying in the new place because it's out of our price range and we also aren't sure it...

    Can an old coop become a nest box?

    Thank you for your thoughts! This is the current living situation, and the entire thing is situated inside of a six foot by eight foot run: I would detach the smaller run here and use the house-looking part as a nest box if I went forward with this plan, so the nest box would be 14 inches...

    Can an old coop become a nest box?

    I adopted two buff orpington chicks from someone who was about to get rid of them, and couldn't bear that thought, but had (and have) no idea how to raise them. They were probably about three or four weeks old at the time. I would guess they are about 24 weeks old now. Anyway, when I first got...
