Had to post my young man up for free tonight. I kept hoping I was wrong and he'd turn out to be a pullet, but looking at him it's pretty clear. I was looking forward to Speckled Sussex in my little flock! :/

Yes, I figured so. Do you know of a good place to post for rehoming in Mchenry Co (we are near CL)? I know a lot of people are trying to give away cockerels this time of year, this is my first time having to do so. My kids are pretty attached but he can't stay.

Yes, Mchenry county. I guess I'm not super worried about whether the neighbors would care about the number, but I don't want to overcrowd my coop.

In Mchenry County (Crystal Lake). Ultimately, I'd love to find some Welsummer hens. Since I'm only allowed six and want to try a few kinds, I was thinking of finding a couple of orpingtons and/or barred rocks as well. I do have two Cinnamon Queens planned to be coming at the end of April (split...

Hi all! I'm in Northern IL where we've just had an ordinance change to allow six hens! I'm hoping to find some local people on here as I'm venturing into this and learning as I go. Especially if anyone in the area has chicks available? :)
