I have a wonderful 10 week old Black Cooper Maran rooster. It has been hand held everyday and very friendly. Unfortunately, I can not have a rooster in the town that I live in. I will give it to you free, will not ship. Will post picture as soon as I can. Please feel free to contact me with...
I have a 10 week old Black Cooper Maran that just started to try to make a noise of some sort this morning. It sounded as if a cat was stuck somewhere in the house. We laughed a lot watching him. I only wish I could keep him:( My town is strict with the no rooster law.

I thought it might be gapeworm, that is why I gave her some Safeguard. Do I repeat this again and if so, when? Is there anything more that I can do? I feel so helpless with my poor chick. She comes right to me to pick up everytime I enter the restroom where we are currently keeping her. I...
It has been a week since I had to isolate her due to gagging. I don't have an extra outdoor area, so I have placed her in the bathroom in a dog crate. This morning my husband took a shower with her in there and the entire time she went crazy eating food. She is still gagging and seems weak...
