Hello all! our 10 week old cockerel just keeps getting louder and louder! He wasn't supposed to go to our friends until 20 weeks, but we aren't allowed to have roosters. last week he sounded strangled, now he sounds like a full grow Roo! Here is our little cockerel Mocha... Sorry about pic, he was hiding

Hello all!

our 10 week old cockerel just keeps getting louder and louder! He wasn't supposed to go to our friends until 20 weeks, but we aren't allowed to have roosters.

last week he sounded strangled, now he sounds like a full grow Roo! Here is our little cockerel Mocha... Sorry about pic, he was hiding

sweet, my young roos have been crowing for some time, especialy the bantams that are supposed to be standard, glad it is cold now the neighbors won't hear them quite so clearly. neighbors nevery complain(I give them lots of eggs) got to get rid of them they are getting aggressive towards each other
love your brooder, very fancy.
and WELCOME to the sight

Wow Daran that is a lot of milk, maybe the calf isn't drinking as much any more??

Opa, Glad it isn't hips but hope the fix for the vascular is simple

Kimmie how did your tests come out? what kind of cancer were they looking for?:

Just wanted to take a minute to thank Opa for coming to our rescue. He was kind enough to provide an exceptional 3 year old Wellie rooster to help us to repopulate our coop.

Sam your the best!

Morning Peep!

If you were the one committing the harassment, would you admit to it? This is where I am with the local authorities.

Sadly, it is not just me. There are several BYCers going through the same thing. There are even more who haven't found our thread.

The good news is that word is getting out. I've been fielding calls all afternoon. The bad news is that this stance is difficult for many families.

Numbers increase the attention of the law makers. I see you founded a "council". With promotion and increased membership that council would have more clout when dealing with those elected and appointed officials for sure.

It helps to inform us here with sample letters and issues so as supporters of people owning yard flocks we can make some noise.
Thank you for your help and sharing yours (and others here) cause.

OK as you guys know I'm very new to this. One of my pullets...about 22 wk old, all of a sudden want to sleep a lot. Noticed it for the first time yesterday, She will get up and move around if I go in there but then walk away and she goes to sleep. She got up this morning and seemed to eat fine but I go in there again a little bit ago and she is still just wanting to sleep all day. I noticed she also has very liquid poops. Does this sound like cocci. I will go buy the corid today if that sounds like what it is. Will that hurt the chickens if they take it and they don't have cocci? This chicken thing is more stressful than I thought it would be!
