How did everyone fare through Isaias?

A little soggy here yesterday but otherwise ok.

Here, in the valley, we didn't get too much rain or wind. What we did get was a relief from the stagnant air, heat, and humidity. It was a welcomed, much needed relief. Glad you also fared well.

Hello to my fellow Virginians
I have a 5 month old GOLDEN LACED POLISH ROO that I must rehome as I will be moving soon to a town where he is not allowed. I will be sad to see him go as I have raised him and his 5 hens since a week old. He is a very handsome guy!!
I live in Shenandoah County and am willing to drive to meet if needed.View attachment 2275763

What a beauty! Wish I could have roos where I am. I'd take him in a heartbeat! Hope you find him a nice home.

Please help. I have an absolutely beautiful lavender orpington cockerel but he's very human aggressive. We're first time chicken owners and we simply don't have the experience to deal with him (he was miss gendered) he's so sweet and protective of the hens. He always gives them his treats and keeps them company when they lay eggs. Do you think it's possible anyone would want an aggressive roo? He's making it very difficult to care for the other chickens. It would absolutely break my heart if we had to cull him

Wish I could help, but don't have enough experience with roos. How old is he? If he's still young, perhaps his hormones have gotten the better of him and he'll settle as he gets older. I would post under another thread to get the take from more experienced ppl. Maybe chicken behaviors, or one pertaining to roos specifically. Just be prepared for lots of differing opinions Oh, and be sure to state his age. It will be helpful to those offering advice.

Ed here in Fairfax County got our true green and true blue with a Faverolles roo as packing material In April. We need a group here in NoVa.

The free Faverolles roo turned out to be a hen

Hi, I'm in Southeastern VA. I really need to find a home for my drake. He is 4 months old. I thought he was a female and I cant have more drakes. He is so sweet. He loves belly rubs. I am willing to deliver him if the drive isn't too far.

I also have 5 muscovy ducklings that I am selling for 5 dollars each.

Cross posting from animals for free re-homing:

I have four hens that I need to rehome as I have to move. I am in Fairfax.

My current flock consists of two cream legbars, one wellsummer and one easter egger. They are about 8 months old and laying well. I have to move and cannot take the hens with me.

I would like to rehome them to someone who will provide them loving care.
