Hopefully this question belongs in this thread. We’ve currently been evicted, legally homeless, in Emergency Accommodation. My aunt is taking our 3 dogs in, as the EA won’t allow dogs in the building. The problem: We have 10 rescue roosters, 13 hens + 3 geese still currently on our old...

Welp. Never wanted to make this post but here we go. We have been evicted, no notice, and we need to get them off the property ASAP as the landlord is no longer tolerating them. Me, my mother and my brother are currently all staying in emergency accommodation, homeless. We can’t take them off...

We are in the uk, gloucestershire region. not sure if this is the right thread for this, but we really need to start looking to rehome. we are being evicted through no fault of our own and cannot keep them anymore. we’re devastated to see them go. all of our roos are lovely boys, we have...

i’m unsure of what gender this baby is!! she’s around 3.5 months old, and she only started developing these black feathers recently. temperament wise i would go 100% hen, she’s the friendliest baby i’ve ever raised if i’m honest. i’ll be devastated if she’s a roo, where we are right now if...

We have a brahma pullet, she’s just over 3months old, and a few days ago she started making this very strange croaking noise. she sounds like a duck. Despite brahmas being listed as a quiet chicken breed, Bunny (the hen) has never shut up ever since we got her as a chick. it was never anything...

I’ve made a few posts about these dudes, but something about how they behave puzzles me. My mother is still pretty sure atleast one of them is a girl (i’m not optimistic at all) but the fact that they’re almost 3 months old and neither of them have ever even attempted to crow??!?? every roo...

Rooster fight injuries!! ahh!! Our big buff boy got in a major fight with our little pekin boy- our pekin boy is essentially totally fine. but our buff boy was too overwhelmed to fight back + has some pretty big injuries. his beak seems cracked? we have zero idea how to fix/treat this, any...

This is gonna be a long post! Our eggs hatched! 3 lovely babies, they pipped around 11pm-ish last night and hatched around 10am this morning while i was in my math exam!! So, 2 white/light brown chicks and 1 very dark grey chick, by features alone we can already tell who the fathers are lol...

heya! these guys are just a few days over 1 month old, 2 welsummers and one brahma! We’re pretty confident that the brahma is a girl at this point, very timid nature, always sticking close to mum, almost nonexistent comb and barely any wattles. i don’t think it’s a question lol. but our 2...

Okay! so we’ve had these guys in the incubator for around 18-19 days, they’re currently in lockdown. a few days before lockdown (16/17? the days seem to blend together for me at the moment- sorry!!) i drew a faint line in pencil where the dark part of the egg was, to see if they would grow...

We recently rescued a buff orphington rooster, around a year old, who had never had any girls for himself and was left in quite bad conditions before we got him, (hatch of all boys, and then they gave him up to a breeder who kept around 50 birds, mix of hens and roos, in quite a small dirty...

First off- i have NO idea how chicken genetics works lol, all the answers i’ve tried to find have been very confusing and i just wanna ask a very specific question. Our hen passed last night, she had been taken by a fox. I’m super upset about this, but i can’t help thinking about her eggs...

We rescued an 7yr old rooster during lockdown, and for the first couple of months none of his behaviors were abnormal, until about a week ago when he stands on the back porch watching us. We have a full wall window door, that shows the entire kitchen, and he just stands there and watches us. He...

This is Jody, she’s two months today, i’ve made a post about her (hopefully a her) about a month or two ago, but it was too early to tell. She’s very nice, not loud, not aggressive in any way, will let you handle her no problem! if she does turn out to be a roo, it won’t be such a big deal as we...

This is Balthazar, a pekin bantam. He’s about 3 months old, and we highly suspect he’s a roo, although his broodmates have started crowing, he hasn’t made anything but a chirp. Just looking for other opinions, Although he enjoys human contact if you let him approach you himself- he’s aggressive...

It might be too young to tell, but i’m super curious! Having roosters isn’t really a problem for us, we just want to know what to prepare for! (Hope for a hen though, lol) :) This is our Pekin Bantam chick, Jody, who’s a little bit older than a month.

Recently we rescued this boy, he’s about 7yrs old, as he was dumped on a construction site previously, we have no idea what breed he is. It’s not extremely important, we’re just curious as to breed-health related problems he could have and what chicks would be a mix of lol:ya (Yes he has...
