adopt

Hi there, I am wondering if there are any local rescues/farms that adopt out rescued battery caged hens? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A little background... I have 6 full grown hens that I raised from chicks, but they have never had their own chicks. I purchased some babies from the hardware store and they are doing fine in their little hutch but I was wondering if it would be possible to get one of the hens to adopt the...

Carrollton, GA 30117 I cared for a widowed male mute swan years ago, and have wanted them ever since. Now I live on a 55 acre private lake, and built a floating island for waterfowl. I love watching our Muscovy, but crave the bigger birds. Yet I can’t afford to buy a pair. Does anyone have any...

Hello everyone! I have 3 Easter Egger roosters for adoption for free. I got them when they were chicks, but sadly they’ve turned aggressive to the other roos in my flock and even towards the hens (I think it’s because there’s not enough hens for each rooster, but the other roosters I have...

Cookie is a 5 year old pitbull-German shepherd mix. She is black and white with subtle tan colors. She has the sweetest eyes and super friendly. Extremely active and full of energy, she would be the perfect fit for you if you have a big fenced in yard and looking for a forever companion to play...

Im a big cat person who also loves her fish and chickens and im thinking about getting a snake, but i dont want it to hurt any other aniamls i have, any ideas?

i have a broody who "happened" to start setting a couple of weeks before I have some new chicks scheduled to arrive. But they will be about +/- 4 days off of coinciding exactly perfectly. Should I take her eggs from her when baby chicks arrive and sneak them in, then try to add her own babies in...

I joined this forum to identify my lavender pekins but since I’ve found so much helpful advice and I wanted to post an update. Here’s my little story of how we got our girls to take to some new chicks- Last time I posted my girls were on adopted eggs (as we don’t have a cock)...

Hey All! I have a special Pekin duck that was originally purchased for consumption as a balut egg. I didn't have the heart to let it pass on. So... with my make shift incubator I now have a healthy duckling who just happened to hatch on my birthday Unfortunately, I am moving out of the state...

Hello, My daughters found an egg on our property, outside of a nest and naturally wanted to hatch it. Well after 28 days, it ended up being what we think is a Mallard or American Black duck. After caring for it for about 3 weeks, it's really bonded with the girls. We tried to give it to a local...

Hello While I type this up, my heart breaks. I have 2 Pekín ducks that need a new home where they will be taken care of, not slaughtered or forgotten. They have been with me since they were 6 days old. All they know is my backyard and their coop. They are very loved and spoiled. The reason I...

Oh wow... yesterday was a crazy day. I finally have time to post about it. So. It all started with an email from a fellow chicken-lover who knew I was in CT. I clicked the attached link, and up came a Craigslist ad for 3 hens that were 10 minutes away from me. It stated right there in the ad...

Hello everybody! I know roosters are incredibly hard to rehome, but I thought I would give it a try. I live in Connecticut, and I am not allowed by any means to have a rooster. So, I will introduce you all to Daffy! Daffy is about three and a half months old. He’s a gorgeous silver laced...

Hello fellow chicken lovers. Today, I received a email from a friend of mine. There are two chickens that need homes near me. I’ve decided to take them in. However, how in the world do you go about quarantining birds when the weather is below freezing? It’s already cold here in CT. I also have...

There are SO MANY poor little birds in need of adoption. As long as your not planning on doing something evil and cruel like eating them or dumping the hens when they stop laying, you should consider saving a life and adopting a bird in need! http://adoptabirdnetwork.com/

Hello! We have tons of Muscovy ducks around our apartment complex here in FL. We've been watching a mother laying on some eggs in a large potted plant near the pool side, and about a week or so later, watched her walking around with newly hatched ducklings! So cute. A day later I noticed the...

So I've had an Easter Egger rooster for the past...8 years. He grew up inside my home like a dog. He doesn't recognize that he's a rooster and my family is his family. Unfortunately, recently due to some illness my family was told to get rid of the chicken. Naturally he's our baby and it's...

My cranky neighbor just ratcheted up his nastiness by filing two complaints with animal control in five days. My roosters, that I lovingly cared for for five years, are gorgeous and healthy, but I can't deal with this negative guy any more and would love to place these guys in a safe home...

As many of u know, I have been trying to make one of my hens ( a silkie) get broody, and she just won't do it, I have an 8 egg incubator and was wandering, if I take 8 eggs and hatch them, then will the "adopt" them for me? Or will she not because she isn't broody? I know silkies are good at...
