Hi, my boyfriend and I recently have been taking care of two abandoned domestic (mallard?) ducks but they're getting too big for us to take care of any longer. Who could we take them to in the sacramento area to give them away? Please help.
Hi, all. Having chickens has been my life dream. I’ve had the chance to live it for a good couple years, but the property I’m on keeps getting more run down instead of better. Due to furthering health decline combining with that, I need to rehome my flock in full or piecemeal.
I’ll try to get...

I'm new to Sac (moved here last December) and new to chickens (3 sliver laced Wyandottes, ~26 weeks old). How cold does it get, and what kind of winter protection do the chicks need? They are in a tiny, probably drafty pre-fab coop with a screen door where they sleep - I will change the door...
hello fellow chicken lovers! I recently moved to the Sacramento area from Arkansas and I was looking for a piece of land to rent so I can continue raising chickens out here. Can anyone here help me out? Thank you for your time! God Bless!
