Hi friends! Looking for a home for a bonded breeding pair of Easter Eggers. I’m in unincorporated Will County (southwestern Chicago suburbs) and we can’t have roosters (ordered all females, but you know how that goes.) These two seem to have bonded, so I’d like to keep them together. Both hatched April 2, 2022. Possible bantam mix - she’s on the smaller side, and I’m finding little eggs in the nesting box. Please message me or text if interested - seven zero eight seven seventy sixteen eighty-one.

Experiencing all the ups and downs of backyard chickens this week.


The good:
My son & his pullet, "Poot."
She gives him hugs by stretching out her neck to rest head on his shoulder.

She trusts him and is very relaxed.

The sad:
On Friday a hawk killed my son's hen, Chizzy. He got her in preschool. She stopped laying a year ago, but he insisted we keep her...... because she's Chizzy! She was a flock elder and is missed by all.

RIP, our dear Chizzy

Things didn't get much better. Father in law had a fall. No major injuries from fall but the hospital found 2 new tumors. (He made the decision not to treat his cancer 5 years ago.) So he will be going for rehab to see if we can give him back some mobility. Unfortunately one tumor is by his brain/ear. The pressure from it could be the cause of the fall/dizziness.

Then I noticed my little hen Noodle has been not herself this week. Instead of walking from the tractor to the coop, she walked to me and wanted to be carried. What I thought was being spoiled turned out to be more. She didn't eat much or run around. This morning she was weak and she did not eat/drink all day. By this evening, she wasn't walking and closing her eyes often. She just passed at 11pm. She was my darling Chicken Noodle.

1.5 months ago Noodle won a blue ribbon and class champion at DuPage Fair - virtual poultry show. DS was nervous, but Noodle did perfectly.

So sorry for your losses. Fall and spring is when I have most of my chicken losses.

Prayers for your FIL

Hello fellow Illinoisans!

Is anyone interested in two Silkie roosters ? They are in need of a new home.


It appears I am unable to edit the other post, but they are free/for donation.

I'm located near O'hare airport in Chicago, IL.

I’m interested

FIL is doing better. After a day in hospital he was discharged to rehab. He’s in building next door to the assisted living facility. He’s walking well with walker In fact he’s been walking a bit too well. He doesn’t like being away from his wife so he found his way to the elevator and tunnel connecting the two buildings. Today was the second time he made his way to the building next door. He has dementia so doesn’t understand. She has Alzheimer’s.

It is very sweet how over 60 years of marriage they only want to be together.

Glad he's doing better
If he can figure that out he's doing good.
