Thank you for writing this up, it's very interesting!

I have one rooster too many and am looking to rehome my white rooster. Lineage: unknown. I brought him for a dollar from a young lady who was raising him in her apartment because she thought he was cute, but he yelled all the time and her roommate complained. He’s “you know, the white chickens...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll check out the list and maybe there will be someone in my area.

My gander just passed away and I have a single goose who I'm looking for companions for. Would ideally like at least a gander and a goose, maybe two geese. I'm in central Illinois. My current goose is a French Toulouse. I'm not hopeful that I'll find other Toulouse out there, but if there are...

Friend found this chicken in their apartment courtyard and dropped it off on my porch. Age is unknown and so is the breed and sex, though I am thinking it is a hen? it is very small, about a third of the size of my regular sized hens, and judging by comb color I think it is mostly full grown...

Well written and an easy read. Very informative and thoughtful over how the coop might have aided the chicken's survival - ideas I will now take into account with the coop I am currently building!

It's totally an egg. I kinda pulled a "suck it up, take an alcoholic shot and gently pull apart the meats-thing to make a shape" and then took it to the vet for confirmation, but it acts like an egg membrane and the vet said it's an egg membrane. Google-fu also showed so many images that matched...

I did save the thing, and took it and her to the university zoo-med vet yesterday. When I got home from work she was a bit perkier, but I had worries about infection, and with the shit week I’ve had, I felt a bit out of my wheelhouse and wanted the white jacket’s opinion. Met a new vet there...

I've already got an antifungal in my chicken 1st aid, I was going to start deploying it last night until I found the thing and started to worry that there was more going on and I wasn't going to be treating the critical issue. It won't hurt to pick up something to replace it so thank you for the...

Thank you for this wealth of information. This feels very sudden, I know birds hide feeling unwell, being prey animals, but I'm out with the flock daily and try to keep general tabs on if anyone is looking out of sorts. I did some research last night and I am very worried about egg remaining in...

Poop from overnight. Most green one I’ve seen. Her crop is still not emptied.

I feed an all flock feed with a couple bowls of oyster shell available at all times on the side. As far as I can tell, she last laid an egg 2 days ago. Everyone else seeems to be laying, minis one moulting bird and one broody. Did some research last night and am convinced it’s a soft shell...

First time posting via phone app, so hopefully this goes ok... 2 year old Easter egger hen was looking fluffy and “off” morning, when I let them out she didn’t stampede out for food like the rest. Second sign something was wrong is I was able to easily catch her. Took her inside and it...

Thanks! I meant for the first bit to be a bit for fun. I do feel like the chickens view themselves as being in a horror movie when I start creeping like that

When I have the time, I do the "long con" slow stalk, like any horror movie where the victim is running full rabbit while the villain plods along at a slow turtle pace. Eventually the chicken runs into a corner where I can put my hand on their back and pick them up. Eventually. Otherwise I...

Such a sweet video! There is no way I would crouch near my gander right now, he's still acting like a lawn shark. It'd be an invitation to get bit on the nose.

Thanks! My husband really hopes the little roo has a big enough personality to be re-named "The General." (Even though the cockerel's name is Revenge, his arrival was negotiated as part of the discussion about acquiring a back hoe.) They're starting to warm up with me and chortle up to my feet...

Thanks for the helpful link! That is an option I am considering, I've entered into negotiations with my husband as originally my chicken plan was for 20 hens/2 roosters under one shed that could be divided should the roosters not get along. Separating them out changes my plan a little, but I'm...

Thank you for the photos, very helpful!
