Hello!
We have tons of Muscovy ducks around our apartment complex here in FL. We've been watching a mother laying on some eggs in a large potted plant near the pool side, and about a week or so later, watched her walking around with newly hatched ducklings! So cute.
A day later I noticed the...
So I've had an Easter Egger rooster for the past...8 years. He grew up inside my home like a dog. He doesn't recognize that he's a rooster and my family is his family. Unfortunately, recently due to some illness my family was told to get rid of the chicken.
Naturally he's our baby and it's...
My cranky neighbor just ratcheted up his nastiness by filing two complaints with animal control in five days. My roosters, that I lovingly cared for for five years, are gorgeous and healthy, but I can't deal with this negative guy any more and would love to place these guys in a safe home...

As many of u know, I have been trying to make one of my hens ( a silkie) get broody, and she just won't do it, I have an 8 egg incubator and was wandering, if I take 8 eggs and hatch them, then will the "adopt" them for me? Or will she not because she isn't broody? I know silkies are good at...
Hello everyone! I unfortunately have to re-home more chickens (I feel like that's all I've been doing these days :hit). These chicks weren't planned, and as a result, I'm having some issues with them. They aren't mixing well with my very young chicks. They're also creating lot of dust, which is...
Hello everyone. My family and I have decided to shift our focus in our flock. We have decided to focus on larger breeds (brahma, Cochin, Jersey Giant, etc). As a result, we are re-homing a few more hens. They are all perfectly happy and healthy. Also, no eggs yet! I have 3 Buff Orpingtons and...
I have a solo duck that I am looking to get some mates for. Very open to breeds. My duck is currently 7 weeks and looking for ducks around his age or around. Not looking for day old ducklings though since I am looking to put them immediately outside. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I have a pair of broody silkie sisters. They are currently in a large box together with their silkie rooster. I ordered 6 chicks to pick up in 2 days to have them adopt. Question is should I try to seperate the hens before giving them the chicks so they don't go after each other's...
Hello everyone! I have three 15 week old Spangled Hamburgs that I am trying to rehome. Two are the gold variation and one is silver. They are all definite hens and in perfect health. But they are a flighty breed, which freaks out the kids in my home. I'm located in Connecticut, so if you're...
Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a new member (long time BYC reader/researcher, first time question).
Yesterday, I received day old chicks in the mail for a broody buff orpington named Buffy. Buffy has been broody for over 3 weeks and 3 days ago I successfully moved her to the broody box. She...
Hi,
I need to rehome my 7 wyandotte hens. 3 gold laced and 4 silver laced. All great egg layers, get about 40+ per week from them. I just don't have the time for them, and we have a lot of predators so they dont get to free roam much. I have some pellets and some crumbles left. i will also give...

I live in the city of Portland, OR, and one of the chicks that I just bought a few months back turned out to be a boy, so I need to find him a new home outside of town. We are unable to keep roosters in the city, so I'm looking for a good home for him, rather than a dinner plate. If you are...
