Thank you. I love the breed. Have had other breeds and I think the games are the most well rounded, and ironically, well behaved (except roosters with other rooster obviously).. great with hens or single hen. Dont over-mate and man-fighters are very rare.

Oops...they're mixed. I've been bugging my other half about getting chickens, so for my birthday he surprised me with 6 babies. 2 BO, 1 dark brahma bantam, black sex linked, black maran, and another bantam (don't know the breed). Kind of worried the last lady is actually a little roo. Trying to get a potential home lined up in case she's a he.
How many girls do you have?

Sadly I am chickenless at the moment

I lost my last indoor girl Peep in January

She would have been 4 years old in April





We miss here dearly and will not be chickenless for long

Thank you! She opened our hearts to chickens forever and was such a sweet heart

She loved snuggling on our laps and would tug on our pants when she wanted laptime

Hi all,

Any California Muscovy lovers? I posted over on the free re-homing page but I'm desperate so trying here as well. I found three muscovy's that I think must have been dumped or disliked their old home as they are very people friendly. I had to catch them because they took up residence at our neighbors pond then eventually found their way to his barn and are getting into his horse feed. He is not an animal lover so he was going to shoot them. They also like to hang out at our house which is across a small, but very busy, street from the pond. They were constantly in the way of cars and have almost got hit a number of times. They just don't move for some reason. I absolutely love them- and wish they could have just stayed at the pond-but with the road and the neighbor its' not possible. I don't have the space to keep them-I barely have room for my two (one of whom is permanently injured) and desperately need to find them a home. There is (I think) one male and two females. Poor things are stuck in a small dog run right now (they do have a crate inside). But it's much too small for the three of them. I can't let them out as I don't know they'd let me catch them again. I'm hoping someone will see this and may be able to help. We're in the santa cruz area of California. Thanks!

My dogs did too, until I threw a ball into it and they jump in.
