I have three beautiful great ducks. I've had them just since they were about 5 weeks old. I also have a son a couple dogs and we are thinking about having another baby. My dilemma is they are a lot of work and I'm worried about when the new baby comes how much harder it will be I dont want 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...
Hey everyone! I hope this works! My cousin sent me a text with a picture of 2 beautiful Roosters that showed up at her work today in Greeley, CO. She's trying to find them a home since animal control never showed up to rescue them. Is there anyone here that lives in or near Greeley, CO that can...
Hi everyone,
I was recently told by my township that I have to “get rid of” my 9 beautiful hens. Apparently there’s a setback issue that we were not aware of and my family is heartbroken. When I asked what I should do, the township zoning officer Michael Cosma told me to “cook em”... which is...
Hello Backyard Peeps!
I'm still fairly quiet here, but here's the situation I've gotten into:
1. I work at a preschool.
2. Someone at the preschool decided "Oh hey let's hatch eggs to show the kids!"
3. I was put in charge of the incubator because I've "had birds before." Apparently parrots...
Unfortunately, due to life events I may have to rehome most or all of my flock in a few months. I care about them very much and want them to at least go to loving homes if it does turn out that I can't keep them. Does anyone have suggestions for rehoming? Chickens are easily abused and I want to...
we just found out that our beautiful, sweet, Lavender Orpington hen is really a rooster and our neighborhood doesn’t allow for roosters. Looking to re-home as a pet or show bird.
There is a duck that I think needs to come live with me instead of the small pond it lives on in town.
It used to live on someone’s property but they dumped it off there. (It’s the only one there) It doesn’t fly at all.. I’m worried for it..beings winter is coming and it gets real cold here!
I...
Long post pictures first please help if you can.

Ok so I've posted on here a few times about my silkie chickens. I was supposed to get 4 blue silkies hens. I ended up getting 3 blue and 4 buff. I called the place I got them from and a new girl switched shipping...
Hi everyone ~
I got my first chicken two years ago! In fact, my hen is turning two this January. Her name is Bawk and she’s a partridge silkie. Bawk is surprisingly not very amiable ; she doesn’t get along with any of my other pets.
I recently added two new chickens to my family in June. One...
Hello to everyone. I'm somewhat new on here and haven't posted before. I was wondering if anyone on here would be interested in two silkie roosters around six months old? Possibly in December? We're going to be homeless after our lease is up and I'd feel better at least knowing they had...
I was told these birds were young females when I purchased them, but a few weeks and more feathers later it seems they are actually male. I don't have enough females in my flock to keep two extra boys happy, so I need to find a new home for these two. I believe they are 5-6 weeks old. I was told...
Looking to rehome three 8-week-old Faverolle cockerels. I paid extra to have them sexed... Clearly someone was having a bad day 'cause I ended up with 4 boys, 4 girls, instead of 8 girls.

I have a 6 week old duckling that I had hatched as a project and had plans for him to go to a family friends farm but am now looking at other options as I am very attached to him. I live in Chicago and I am just not at a point where I think building a coop and having a bunch of ducks is an...
I have a 7 month old Speckled Sussex rooster that has begun crowing quite a bit, which means I have to rehome him. I haven't the slightest clue on how to do this or where to take him. Does anybody know what I can do, or if rehoming him will cause strain on my hen? She's the only other chicken I...
Moving sale, I bought the farm, literarally, but it's not bird ready as it needs work. In the mean time I am selling off my flock. Geese, ducks,and chickens all reasonable offers considered. SE Pennsylvania. Chesco.
Hello folks, we're pretty new to the site so hope we're in the right place. We have been hand raising some chicks in our backyard in New York City and today our first (of three) roosters crowed.
Honestly thought we had a few more weeks at least before we had to say goodbye. We now need to...
**phoenix,AZ***. We have a beautiful 12 week Welsummer rooster in need of a home with a larger yard. Please contact me at [email protected] for pickup information. Thanks!
