I have 3 hens and a coop I need gone asap. Unfortunately, squirrels and rats have made this unbearable. I'd like to rehome hens to a backyarder, but full disclosure, i think only one lays eggs. This coop is heavy, but its free if you come up with a plan (trailer, come alongs, etc). I will...

Flock problem. I have a hen who I got from a feedstore as a chick. It went through a crazy period of time with the typical marek's leg forward, leg back posture. It couldn't really move, so I kept putting feed and water in front of it, and every day I expected it to die. The thing is...

I haven't posted here in a long time. I haven't had much of a need because things have been running smoothly. I had a great group of birds- 7 faverolles (2 chicks, 3 hens, 2 roos [with wonderful personallities and nice color]) and a dear little cochen. My son was sent to A school for the...

I just like using that word Well, I'm sorta new at the chicken thing, and have a tiny flock of faverolles. They have a nice coop, nice run, and the run of the back yard. I noticed one of my hens missing, and I really thought she had been taken by a hawk or something. But it turns out she...

I have too many roosters (3). While I like this Buff Polish, and he's fairly handsome, he's a bit to ornery for my wife. He will attack and loves to play the fighting game. I would take him to the feed store, but 90% of them end up in the pot. I thought I'd give BYC members first dibs. If...

Anyone have any ideas. I'm told one thing, but i'm not sure its heading in that direction. It has 4 toes, feathers on feet. Just thought i'd put it to the BYC'rs t figure it out. Thanks for your help

I was watering in the courtyard, they were free ranging. They got hosed. I laughed when they complained and ran. I'm bad

Greetings BYC peeps. I've started letting my chooks root around in my 1/2 acre back yard while supervised. They are still a bit young (5 weeks maybe?). I only have 8, and for some reason take great pleasure in watching them running from one leafy area to another, and digging around in the...

I've been letting my chooks wander around the yard (even with 3 dogs). I am fascinated with watching chooks acting like chickens. They are so much like children. Anywho, we live in the desert, and I had put in a tiny patch to grow grass for the dogs. There is a fair amount of soil in the...

Hello. I have 4 beautiful large fowl Salmon Faverolles pullets, and no roo. They are only about 5 weeks old. I'm not sure of the odds on that, but now I need a roo. I'm willing to drive any distance in southern California. I'm Also willing to pay for the Roo to be shipped. Picture is a must...

Does anyone know? I don't see any black on him.

These chicks are breaking the law!

So my chicks are in the run, and they are about to be weaned off mash. Suddenly, I see them gathered around the rabbit feed bin, gobbling down the green rabbit food like no tomorrow. Are they going to get sick? Can they handle the rabbit food? Silly silly chooks.

Can the chemicals from the shampoo seep into the crickets and poison your chicks? ty, Jonathan- PS- seems to me there is something terribly wrong with this BYC member. You should raise your standards!

Hello. I'm thinking of getting either copper morans or welsummers for dual purpose birds. I like the dark eggs and how the summer rooster looks. How is the meat on them? Ty group.

Well, I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jonathan and I have been building a coop. It is a variation of the MONK design in the coop section of byc. I decided to make it 4 egg boxes for variety (i don't understand why most coups have 3- so became rebellious) and tin roof and a sliding...

Greetings group! I'm new to backyard chicken culture and thought I'd give a hello. I am allowed 5 hens and 1 rooster where I live, and am building a coop. I'd like to have a few ornamentals but mixed up. I'm thinking about a couple of silkies, a cochin, and a something along the lines of...
