I'm going to start this thread off by copying some of my last few posts over here from my thread about the ordinance changes in my city.
Just to get my thoughts from there over to here where I believe they fit much better.
Hi! I have a couple older hens who need rehoming (not urgently): a white cochin and a buff brahma. the cochin is a sweetheart (i have picked her up and pet her all her life) while the brahma can be a bit of a bully. The cochin does not reliably lay eggs anymore but the brahma does lay eggs...
Hi all,
The family would love to go to a show and see old and new breeds of chickens. Is there any around the northern area of IL or southern parts of WI for 2025?? Other than local fairs?? Thanks all!

My blind hen is getting SEVERELY bullied to the point of broken skin and missing a LOT of feathers. We can’t give her a good enough home here, and if anyone is in or near our location who takes in injured or disabled hens, we need to rehome her FAST before she gets so badly hurt that there might...

Hi. I have a very friendly male Pekin duck named Doug who needs a new caring home. He lost his only other duck friend to a mink earlier this fall and is now by himself. Doug is 1.5yrs old and is in Monticello, IL. Please let me know if you have a home for him or know of someone who does.
Contacted the local extension office (Ogle County) with some specific questions I wasn't seeing answers to, and they passed it along to the state poultry specialist, so I thought I'd share his answers.
The attached file has info on where to report dead birds and whatnot, because I've seen in...
I found a young 3-4 week old crested pekin that was dropped off at the park. I was able to catch him and have a coworker holding him until I can find him a home located in Cape Girardeau Mo
I have 4 hens: 1 black australorp, 1 buff orpington, 1 barred rock, and 1 speckled Sussex. They are very good chickens and would love the company of even more friends. I’m moving to North Carolina and unfortunately, will no longer have a house or a coop. Currently located in Libertyville, IL...
