    4 happy hens need a home

    Hurricane Milton rendered our home unlivable. I'd like it if my spoiled girls could find a good home to live in. We are living in a hotel and won't be in a home again until January. They're fine in the coop, but I feel bad because they're used to running around free. They come with the DIY...

    Austin, TX - Rehome 4 hens by January

    So I'm having to move and, unfortunately, it's not affordable or practical to take my hens with me. I've got 4 free range layers raised from chicks, and currently they're nearly done molting in preparation for winter, so no worries about last minute molting right when freezing temps arrive. And...

    Need help- pullet or cockerels?

    Hello, We have a 4 month old Easter egger. We think it might be a cockerel but I’ve read that EE tails can sometimes look curved when they are growing. It is best friends with one of our same age roosters, which makes me question if this might be a pullet. We haven’t heard any rooster noises...

    Black dots & chapped looking combs on hens

    Hi! First time posting on here. My 20 week Austrawhite was the first hen to exhibit symptoms. She had black spots on her, but I was able to get them off with Vaseline. A week later I noticed a chapped like substance & black dots on her comb. My husband seems to think the spots are dirt and the...

    First time chicken lady. Bought 5 chicks from our local ifa. They are roughly 16 weeks old now. I know the white one with the big red comb is absolutely a rooster, he started crowing about a month ago, but the rest I’m unsure about. The grey and black ones were advertised as ameraucanas and the...

    Ameraucana or EE? cockerel or pullet?

    This is my favorite from the flock. 19 weeks old. Quick backstory. We got 10 chicks and 6 are roos. Including this one. I say its a cockerel due to his crowing. The great thing is that its not as loud as the others Im rehoming and it has a great temperament. So we are keeping him. Now is he a...
