So… as the title says, this is the GIF chat thread! As much as possible only chat through GIFs! (Actual words are most certainly allowed, though ;)) RULES: 1. If you don’t think that GIF you’re about to post is appropriate for a 10-ish year old, DON’T POST IT!!! 2. No language. (You know...

Hello. I just added some 3 year old female ducks with my 2 month old ducks. Our ducks were raised to be friendly. They eat out of our hands, follow us and love to be around us. The new ducks are not as friendly and was wondering if anyone has experienced this causing the friendly ducks to be...

Five beautiful, healthy and friendly chickens looking for a new home. We are moving and sadly can't take our girls. We have 2 grey Orpingtons, 1 black Orpington, 1 light Brahma and 1 partridge Cochin. They were all born in April of last year and are the sweetest things! They will eat from your...

Is it normal to have friendly turkeys? Mine fall asleep in my lap after snack time. I’m also curious on what breed the white one is. The lady I got the eggs from said they should have only been chocolate and red bourbon. But to me it looks like I’ve got two black Spanish turkeys and a few...

Gentle hen with good disposition, able to be held quietly by grandkids. Laid nice tan roundish eggs. Mistress of the Henhouse!

Hi there, I've had calls in the past as pets but they are a bit too loud for our neighborhood. I'm looking into getting east indies and I have three questions: 1) Exactly how much bigger are east indies than calls? I'm asking because my cage is fairly small and I want to make sure they would...

I recently just sent my 7 month old Buff Orpington Rooster to a new home. He was attacking my kids, wife, even me. The funny thing is A.) Buff Orpingtons are supposed to be docile B.) I raised this rooster up from the day he hatched C.) He was very friendly right up until he got mean. This...

I just got this quite friendly Rooster. We named him Rusty but are unsure of his breed. Appreciate any ideas or input. TIA

It’s name is Squabble. Found this little guy looking all lost and alone in town and my lord, Squabble rivals Scrappy in tameness and daftness. Thought it was sick... It is perfectly healthy. Thought it couldn’t fly... It flew around the living room and my bedroom. It is just too sweet and...

We probably all have that sweet flock member who you love to death. Sometimes they even love you back. Who is your special boy/girl. Share stories, pics and inform us about your "baby". BIRDS/POULTRY ALLOWED ONLY!

Hi everyone, Recently, we got a batch of chicks surrendered to our farm. Just our luck, 3 out of 9 chicks ended up being roosters. Two of the roosters are Black Australorps and one is an Easter Egger. They are about 4 months old now and very friendly! All of the roosters are vaccinated and...

I have a amazing black drake muscovy who is 9-10 weeks old. He is fairly independent and very spunky, he allows me and some other people in my family to pet him on the back. But I have 2 drakes out the 3 ducklings I originally got. And we are keeping the other because he is even friendlier...

The first time I raised ducks, I raised Pekins (like any first-time duck owner does) as they say they are “very friendly” it had turned out to be quite the opposite, they shyed away, and during the winter months when I put them up in the warm barn, it was difficult to catch them. Then I trie the...

Hi, I live in the Toms River area and have 2 roosters that I am looking to give away to a loving home. they are both 5 months old. One is a Polish Crested Rooster and the other is a Lackenvelder. They are both very friendly and very playful as they are used to playing with my kids daily...

I have 4 Easter's egger and I'm wondering can Easter eggers reproduce? Well they are a hybrid or a mixed breed. It will be adorable to see baby chicks walking around.

I really like the idea of having a flock of friendly birds, and Swedish Flower Hens seem perfect for that; but, it's hard to find an official amount of eggs I should expect... Which is why I'm on this site. Because so many people here know so much more about chickens than I do. Thank you...

I’m so excited! Three times now my Ameraucana, Sansa has surprised me and jumped right into my lap while I was sitting in the chicken run. I’ve been hand raising my new flock and they are all pretty tame so far. They are 11 weeks old this week and doing well. I have been sitting in a plastic...

I'm so excited I have to share with other hen lovers. We just got six 7 week old hens on Sunday. Our first ever hens. I've been spending a lot of time with them, talking to them, watching them and just checking on them throughout the day since we brought them home. They aren't going in their...

JoJo was found roaming our church yard for weeks. Our congregation got attached, the short of it is I have him, hes vet checked (told he was a silky) and friendly. I pick him up daily to put him from his run to his cage at night. I've found that I'm not zoned for chickens so he needs a good...

Hey all! So I have been raising 6 new chicks in a brooder in my home. It has been exceptionally cold here and today was the first nice day we had. So I put my chicks in an enclosed dog kennel next to my hens run. My hens didn't act aggressive at all (they bitched for about 15 mins though). Then...
