I currently have three bantams, 2 sebright and 1 silkie. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on a good full size companion to add to the flock? I was looking at Coucou Maran , Sussex, white leghorn, Rhode Rock, Blacktail, Bluebell, Isa browns. Would any of these be suitable?
Thanks
It’s been since April since we rescued our Maggie, and we have gone back and forth with a companion for her. I don’t really want a drake because everyone makes it seem like they are giant rapists.
Every time I talk to anyone with ducks, they always steer to the drakes.
Are drakes really as bad...
Howdy! I have just been given an exceedingly elderly female ringneck dove, and am considering getting her a companion. She currently lives in a room containing two other cages with her mate and daughter of some years ago, but is going to be moved soon to a new home very far away. At this new...
So, we've had the little gosling for a week now and have decided to take the plunge. We've applied for a permit to make him legal. The next step is to get him a friend. Any ideas? I've heard ducks can be good companions, but would another goose be better? Even if it's not a Canada Goose?

G'day all!
My wife is looking into a companion fowl for quail - what is a good companion fowl? She was thinking silkie hens (I read they can be used to help incubate quail eggs)
Thankyou in advance!
Hi all....I could use some advice. I have a young hen that I have had to keep separated from the flock for several months now. She had been severely injured in an attack by older chickens, pecked almost to death in the head. I did not think she would live, but she has and is now recovered...
My duck used to have a companion until she died. They were raised together and sadly she died at 2 months old. I believe a Fox got her but since the accident my female duck has been crying in stress. I have tried putting her with chickens even chicks and she hates them. She always wants to be...
So, this is a follow up to a thread I posted a couple weeks ago. I have a rooster that I think stayed in the incubator a lil too long. He's not quite right. He's definitely blind and his legs don't always work right and he has some balance issues. Hes aboit four months old now. He's adorable and...
