I started yesterday, and thank folks for the ideas on how to deal with the injured hen we have, and the suspected instigator...the one young rooster. It will be fun to get better educated in the article section too.
We've probably had chickens for about 7 years. Currently there are 7 free...
I see on the list there are 2 MI breeders and only one has chickens. Can anyone refer me to any other breeders in Michigan? NOT hatcheries please. The Thumb/Mid-Michigan region would be best really anywhere in the LP is worth a look see.
If it is helpful, these are the particular breeds I am...
Help!
I’m a novice chicken owner. My knowledge is limited and I don’t own any of my own yet.
A group of 8 roosters were abandoned in my neighbor’s yard last week and we don’t know what to do with them. They’re good, but we have a coyote problem and there’s not enough room in their coop for...
We have become a repository for other people’s ducks and we have too many now and need to rehome some. We have 10 ducks to rehome, aged from 1-4 years, that are mostly laying females with a couple males. They are all mixed breed ducks (mostly pekin mixed with something else). A few are broody if...
As hard as this is to believe.... I have too many chickens :p
Selling five silkie bantam chickens as a group, four hens and one rooster. The splash rooster is three-years-old, the white hen is two-years-old and the three blue hens are all one-year-old. These chickens were all hatched on my farm...
Two almost three-year-old Easter Egger Hens available to a good home. They are great free-range birds, cold-hardy, come running for treats, but don't love being held. Both are poor to fair layers of green eggs. You must assure me that you have a proper coop for them if they'll be kept as layers...
Hello, I’m located in Southeast Michigan and I’m looking for a couple of button quail to keep as indoor ornamentals/pets. I’ve had chickens for years and I’d like to have some funny little birds to look at indoors too. I’m not having much luck finding breeders, anyone know of any in Michigan...
Hello Everyone!
Yesterday my husband noticed one of my hen's standing in the middle of the run while everyone else moved anxiously. I went right out to check on her because this is very odd behavior from my ladies, She in fact was standing there sleeping. She wouldn't move unless someone ran...
We found Uncle Sam on the 4th of July just down the road from our house. Someone was obviously not concerned about his well-being and was OK with any fate he got. So we gave him a home with our small flock of only girls (full size!) and he was so happy! Anyway, he was nabbed by a opossum a few...
I live in West Michigan. I have 2 boys that just finished showing at Muskegon County Fair. This year is their first year in 4H. I am looking for show quality Silkies for my boys to show. I heard of a breeder called Rainbow Silkies. I'm having a hard time finding any information on it. If anyone...
***SALE PENDING*** Looking to add some cute silkie hens to your flock? I have 3 hens for sale (2 white and 1 black). They have always been healthy girls and are laying eggs to the best of my knowledge. I just have too many chickens and need to downsize a bit. These girls are 2.5 years old and...

I’m having trouble finding breeders/hatcheries near me. I’m located in West Michigan. Looking for Cochin Bantam and Maran chicks. I’ve googled like crazy and checked Craigslist. There is a breeder across the state but I’d prefer to drive and pick up myself.
TIA!
Concerned about this large abscess on our little bantam's breast/neck. Been watching it for a few days and it is rapidly growing. Found a couple of scabs underneath it. It is oblong and hard, Anyone have any advice? She acts fine but it can't be comfortable!
