    (4) 9 Weeks Old, Hatched and Hand Raised at Home

    Please help me save the babies! We hatched 8 chicks (6/27/24). We have been hand raising them since. 4 of the 8 are confirmed cockerels (just began crowing). We are located in Ventura County (SoCal), and hoping to find them new homes before my husband processes them!

    Accidentally got a small cockerel yesterday thinking it was the same size as our hens. Need advice

    Pullet or Cockerel? Light Brahma

    I have this 8 week old Light Brahma that is supposed to be a pullet but I am questioning it. What do you think? Also, she/he has slipped tendon. She is doing good so far with it. She’s as healthy as a horse and gets along on it fine. She uses her wings a lot to get around long distances. We...

    My 7 month old Cockerel Cuckoo Maran Comb Black

    His comb has a strange black thing on some of the tips, I’m not sure what it is. It is very cold outside, but he is a cold hardy breed, so I am not sure.

He’s not in any bushes, trees or plants, not in the coop, under any benches or anything. Ive looked all over my garden for him and even in...

    Our 6mo. old Silkie Cockerel …

    Our 6mo. old Silkie cockerel really likes to be involved with the egg-laying process 🤷🏻‍♀️… Now, I’ve seen our old Roo escort a hen to a nesting box, and I’ve seen him go to check on a hen if she happens to call out while in the nesting area, but he never wanted to be any more involved than...
