Hi! I’ve been a forum lurker for a while, but just joined. Sorry, this is going to be long. In June 2021, I bought a house and inherited seven chickens. I’d never had chickens before, but as a wildlife biologist and avid learner and Googler I wasn’t super concerned. The owners we bought the...

As of last night, we were faced with some unexpected circumstances that we couldn’t leave alone... someone in the community bought chicks for this last Easter and became overwhelmed as they grew, and neighbors complained, and were far from prepared. Having raised fowl and birds or flight before...

Oh wow... yesterday was a crazy day. I finally have time to post about it. So. It all started with an email from a fellow chicken-lover who knew I was in CT. I clicked the attached link, and up came a Craigslist ad for 3 hens that were 10 minutes away from me. It stated right there in the ad...

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...
