I have a red cockeral that I need to rehome. He is 5-6 months old and just starting to act like a boy. I am willing to pair him with a gray hen who is 14 months old. I am in the Kawkawlin area. Will deliver.
Hey all! I am looking to re-home a gorgeous red silkie rooster. Can throw in a silkie hen if it will help things!
I am between a rock and a hard place!
I cannot take in my friends' red silkie rooster. He is about 18 months old and very tame. I am helping find a home.
If you are interested in him, for free, let me know. I can also send him with one of his girls for a small fee.
I was on here about 10 years ago. Got busy with living in the rat race.
I am taking a friend's chickens in a sort of emergency situation. It makes me happy to be of help. I am excited to be returning to tending some hens.

I suggest that if you really want to get paid, you ask for the value of the birds. Probably $15-$20 each - tops. I am not saying this to be harsh (I have cried many a tear for my chickens...). It is just that I negotiate with people as part of my work. If you start to high, they will shrug...
Gabby - I think you should leave the roosts "as is." The birds will huddle together & stay warm. You could possibly box off the end of that platform to keep their heat nearer to the roosts. Also, the window seems like your biggest threat. Unless you are certain that it is super-tight, I...
Okay the subject line says it all. I have a 2 y.o. Silkie roo. He is eating and active. I have even observed him making a tiny poo, this morning. My birds eat pellets, scratch, and fresh squash & pumpkin. The access to fresh veggies and water makes it highly unlikely that he is constipated...
