I’m in Portland, OR!
I’m giving away a 7 month old laying Sebright hen, as I have one too many. Anyone want her, by chance?
 
Hello. I have joined here because one of the two chicks we got in August (August 25th, 2022, and they were probably a few days old then) this year turned out to be a rooster. He is white/cream, and a Silkie Bantam. We call him Bao. He has been raised around a family, indoors, and is very sweet. If you set him on your lap, he will fall asleep, or watch tv with you. Or watch your phone with great interest. He can be left to do his chicken thing for however long, most of the day sometimes, but the moment he is with a person, he seems to relax and plop down to bask in just being there with you. He's calm and low-maintenance, and the most cuddly chicken ever. He is extra fluffy; in comparison with the other chicks from the feed store, even as a hatchling, he stood out as being much fluffier than the others.

He is still young, but old enough that he has recently begun to crow. It isn't a loud crow yet, kind of a partial, choked off crow so far, but it is getting stronger. He does this a few times in the morning, mainly, but occasionally at other times, too. Salem doesn't allow roosters, and the chicks couldn't be sexed at the store, but we hoped he wasn't a rooster, because he is wonderful. He hasn't shown any aggression yet, but he is still growing. He would be free to a home that would keep him safe and pet him for at least some time each day, as he's exceptionally sweet, and that is what he is used to. He runs up to the edge of the enclosure when he sees people - he can sit for hours, just enjoying your company. If there was a way to keep him without getting into trouble, we would. He likes to be warm, and still has a heat lamp in a corner of the room he's in, but the store said they only need the lamp for the first six to eight weeks. I've read that Silkies hold up to cold well, but he wants to be cozy and warm.

Hello :) we just got a rooster gifted to us and we are worried he will get lonely! The chicks still have a few weeks till they will be able to join him :0
We are looking to find him a friend whether it be a duck chicken or goose! Near the scio/salem area! Let me know if anyone has anything available!
