OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

Hi, new member from Wellsville (South of Youngstown, west of Pittsburgh).

We have 8 girls 2-Silver laced, 1 Black Star, 3 leghorns, one sapphire Gem, 1 auracauna, 1 roo (Rhode island red and auracauna mix) in the main coop.

We have 7 barnyard mixes in the brooder that are almost 5 weeks old and getting ready to be moved out.

We may be looking to rehome a roo or two in the next few months, we are waiting to see how this last hatch shakes out. But we think we got at least a couple and our current boy will not be happy with other roos around I am pretty sure and if I read right, you should not mix brothers and sisters if you plan on hatching chicks.

Anyway, thought I would say hi to my fellow buckeyes.
Welcome to the forum! We used to have a chapter in your neck of the woods, so I would frequent the area from time to time. Let us know if/when the time comes to rehome a few of your boys. I, for one, take in any roos, and either let them live their lives here on our property, or help find them homes.

Taking a break from work...love being able to work from home. Looks like the calm before the storm. Hope every one of my Buckeye folks are doing well.
 
We have three beautiful, 3-year-old hens that we are forced to rehome because we are moving and cannot take them with us. We are heartbroken about it, but we do not have a choice. All three were hatched on April 17, 2022, and have been in our care since. All received MRK Marek's (HVT) vaccinations and there have been zero health or behavioral issues with any of them, other than one being mildly aggressive with me (pecking at me) when I haven't given her enough treats!

They've been on a diet of mostly commercial pellets, subsidized with kitchen and lawn scraps and chicken treats. The breeds are Green Queen, Blue Splash Marans, and BNVF Barnevelder-- all chosen for Northern Ohio's climate, temperament, and egg production. All are strong layers-- giving us 4-5 eggs each, per week during prime time. Pictures are attached.

If you are interested in taking them in, please contact me. They will be available for pickup next week-- we want at least one more week with them :( . Also, I would like to know your experience and your intentions for housing and caring for them, please.View attachment 4109501View attachment 4109502View attachment 4109503View attachment 4109504View attachment 4109505
Just seeing if you were able to rehome your precious babies?
 
It is with sadness that we need to rehome our beloved Light Brahma, Link (formerly Lily). He was in the sexed pullet bin, but it's looking like this is a cockerel! He's an absolutely beautiful bird, and so far has been very friendly and a good companion to the pullet he grew up with. Yet, he is also bold enough to occasionally hang out and eat with the rest of the flock, which already seems to respect him.

Brahmas are great winter layers, so he would be a great addition to a flock for breeding hens that are a little more winter hardy.

He is about 9 weeks old.

Please message me or comment here if you are interested. We live in the city of Cleveland but are willing to drive him a little bit further out if it means he has a good home. I absolutely love this bird!
