    Hello everyone. Lately I have been trying to find someone to rehome my hen to. I was curious to ask, for those of you who have successfully rehomed chickens, how did you do it? What resources (websites, social media, veterinarians, shelters, etc.) did you use? Info from people in Texas...

    Need Help Finding Flemish Giant Cage

    Hello! I've come to humbly beg for help. I irresponsibly made the decision to adopt a Flemish Giant without already having a home set up for him. He has a temporary set up in my bedroom, but we would like to place him outside in about a month because that is when we plan to acclimate our...

    The chicken in question is a Langshan hen, roughly 3 years old and last weighed around 1.3 kg. She has been breathing with her mouth open/audibly, whimpering noises, and stretching neck out releasing large croak-like sounds. The latter two have been only recent, around 3 days, whereas the...

    What could this cutie be?

    I went to an auction and bid on a lot of baby chicks, they had them all boxed and labeled as to what they should be... However it is safe to say that the "10 Barred Rock Pullets" box that I grabbed is indeed a mix of miscellaneous black chicks. Now that they have all begun to feather out the...

    Hi All, I am planning on buying a standard size grandpas Automatic chicken feeder, but it is out of stock on the website and on Amazon. I can only find one slightly rusty one on eBay, which is currently £52, and the bids will probably go up from there. I am happy to pay the full £123 for the...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    One of my chicks has bumps on their feet like it's a bit swollen. They're walking just fine and when I press on it, it doesn't seem to hurt. I've never seen anything like this and none of the other chicks have it as far as I can tell. Is it bumblefoot or something else? What's the best way to...

    Breed and sex help please!

    Hello again all! My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...

    The right fit?

    Hi all, I’m looking to replace a rooster that I got for my flock of 9 hens. He’s a French copper black maran who doesn’t seem to be breeding the hens at all bar one that I’ve seen him attempt to breed. Not sure how successful he was in doing it as I have yet to see the bullseye in any eggs. I’ve...

    We currently have 5 chickens: 3 Australorps and 2 smaller ones (unsure of the breed) Most of them have some balding occurring, which we originally thought was due to brooding, but it's taking a very long time for our biggest hen's feathers to return (Images attached of her bald back, it's been...

    We are starting our backyard flock this year with 7 chicks. We live on 1.6 acres of fairly flat land, probably half that in the backyard. We only have neighbors on our left, but they let their dogs out and they often come visit my backyard. I also have two dogs that will either love protecting...
