Thanks for stopping to read this. One of our BYC family is going through some tough times, and needs some support. I've spoken to her on the phone, and she could sure use us!

I don't have a ferret yet, but I am in love with the idea of getting a male ferret. I have calculated the costs, and come to the conclusion that here in Australia, it would cost me $330 dollars [on average] to get the ferret, his cage, castrate him etc...And $100 dollars per year [on average] to...
Hello, I'm looking to re-home the two healthy adult male button quails that I have raised in the Bay Area (California).
Recently, one of my females have passed away, leaving one of my males lonely. I have to go to college next year and I need help to give these guys a new home!
They have been...
Hello,
I have five male and two female call ducks and they are my babies!! However, my two females, mainly the youngest one (6mnths old) are 'calling' nearly all of the time, every 20/30 mins or so. At first I thought it was hilarious and cute (and I still do) but now I'm worried neighbours...
They are growing so much! So sweeet! I love watching them nap! My austra white(Astrid) puffs her cheeks in and out when she sleeps! Wish is could get a good video but she is white and likes to sleep near the desk lamp and it it too bright.
Thought it would be nice to learn more about each other.
3 questions:
Where are you from?
How big is your current flock?
What made you fall in love with the idea of having your own chickens?
I will go first.

Hi guys, it's been a few weeks since I brought home Edison and Mayo. They get along with the chickens no problem and now they seem to know who I am when I come into the enclosed run. Problem is, they still won't greet me, come to feed on treats near me and especially be held. They scream and...
I had a large flock of hens and they were killed by a bear last October, all but two hens. The oldest, Myrtle Mae (a 3 year old RIR), has been the top of the pecking order with my new flock and always rather peckish and nasty to everyone else. Even the roosters run from her! Imagine my shock...
I adopted three roosters from roostersanctuary.org a little over a year ago one passed but the other two I've rehabbed and are doing pretty well for themselves. Caspian was in my main flock for a while but he got scalped because he refuses to fight at all to keep his rank, got scalped, went to...
Let me start off by introducing the situation. About a year ago I had a handfull of chickens that i raised. When I moved from my home to a more chicken-restricted area, I could only take 2 girls and so that is what I did (the rest I left to my at the moment neighbor or to someone I knew in...
Tonight we received our first batch of chicks! It came as a little bit of a surprise as we were expecting them tomorrow. This is our first venture into the land of the feathers and I’m already in love. We’ve come to name one Buzzard, my husbands favorite, who loves to face plant into ground as...
My 10 week old Easter Eggers are so inseparable they will fly over anything to be together ! Here is a cute short video of one flying over the pool and landing in our hand. Usually she lands on our head

They love each other so much!

I have 2 BEAUTIFUL Light Brahmas that turn 3 this month. Rizzo and Marty. Both are still laying and heathly. I had a small flock of 4,(originally 5. 1 was a Roo we rehomed)...
Looking for snacks? i have the perfect thing. To have one of the best chicken snacks, give them eggs! Boiled, scrambled, they go crazy for that stuff! And you could either mix the eggshells with it, or use the eggshells for your garden. Eggshells keep away snails! Just ask me, i tried it...
