Hey folks! I'm Reana (she/her, they/theirs) and I'm preparing for a move to Belen, NM next month. We have a little over one acre (Black Rabbit Farm & Apothecary) and are hoping to raise a few goats and chickens. I've worked in agriculture-related fields for 15 years, but only done up to...
Hi, this is a difficult post for me to make, but I'm hoping it might result in my babies being better off. I have 4 hens (possibly soon to be 3 - one isn't doing well :(), all 7 years old, who I'd like to find a new home for. My parents aren't capable of taking proper care of them, and it would...
Hi everyone! I will soon be receiving 7 Black Australorps. While researching info, I have visited this site quite a bit, and so I decided to join.
In the past, I've had chickens on 70 acres in Oklahoma, but that is a much different experience than this time. We are on 1/2 an acre, in the...
My hubby and I operate LeeFran Homestead in a tiny, 84-people village in central New Mexico. We've had chickens for several years (most are rescues), and they are actively protected with two pot-belly pigs. They absolutely love each other.
We did have 94 hens and 7 roosters until last month...
We live in the city and ended up with 2 roos, who we really like, but are crowing now and bothering our neighbors. They are both really beautiful and are best buddies right now (probably won't last forever, but they love each other right now). We want them to have a home!
the black one is part...
Need to place a handsome Easter Egger, I don’t have enough hens to keep him busy and don’t want any of the girls hurt. I’m in Santa Fe New Mexico and can meet anywhere within and hour or two to find him a good home.

I am planning on moving to Los Lunas New Mexico within 6 months to a year from now. However, I unfortunately cannot seem to find the laws regarding chickens or ducks. Would anyone happen to know any laws/regulations regarding them?
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to incubate at 7,500 ft here in New Mexico. I was wondering if anyone else here is a high altitude/ dry air hatcher, what incubator they use, and what tips they have!
So far, I’ve heard that still air incubators work best for low humidity areas.
Oh and one other thing to...
I have four hens and a rooster that are in need of rehousing. I live just north of Santa Fe, NM. These guys are super sweet (including the rooster!) and it breaks my heart to have to give them up. However, I recently had a baby and I feel like Im not giving them the attention they deserve...
One of our gals is noisy and needs a new home where neighbors are not so close. She is a great gal, healthy and laying daily. Around 1 year old. Free to a good home.
I am considering entering one of my chickens in the New Mexico State Fair. One of the rules is that poultry entries must be banded. Much appreciated if another NM resident could tell me where I can go to to leg band my chicken.

I know this is a long shot with so many cats in need of homes but this guy is really special: if you or anyone you know is looking for a super sweet barn cat in southwestern New Mexico let me know!
A feral adopted me but I already have a 16 yr old indoor rescue kitty and she is not too happy...
Crossed a white cochin with my blue barnevelder rooster. This little guy is the result, he's very sweet and has cute little feathered feet. He has some blue laced red feathers and silver leaking through, he has an interesting pattern and should make for a gorgeous blue rooster. He has a couple...
I have two Splash Barnevelder roosters up for sale. Hatched from my pair of barnies (Greenfire line hen and show stock rooster) Their half sister from my greenfire hen has great double lacing, my new rooster should give much better genes to add on to that. These guys already show good lacing on...
