I have one rooster too many and am looking to rehome my white rooster. Lineage: unknown. I brought him for a dollar from a young lady who was raising him in her apartment because she thought he was cute, but he yelled all the time and her roommate complained. He’s “you know, the white chickens...

My gander just passed away and I have a single goose who I'm looking for companions for. Would ideally like at least a gander and a goose, maybe two geese. I'm in central Illinois. My current goose is a French Toulouse. I'm not hopeful that I'll find other Toulouse out there, but if there are...

Friend found this chicken in their apartment courtyard and dropped it off on my porch. Age is unknown and so is the breed and sex, though I am thinking it is a hen? it is very small, about a third of the size of my regular sized hens, and judging by comb color I think it is mostly full grown...

First time posting via phone app, so hopefully this goes ok... 2 year old Easter egger hen was looking fluffy and “off” morning, when I let them out she didn’t stampede out for food like the rest. Second sign something was wrong is I was able to easily catch her. Took her inside and it...

Hi all! I will be moving with my flock of 7 hens sometime in April/May. I have a plan for transporting the chickens (hello, plastic bins and hardware cloth), but should I be concerned about them being at risk of illness from new micro-organisms in the dirt or area of the new place? How can I...

I was rewarded this Saturday with the first egg in the nest box from one of my hens! I'm pretty sure it's this lady, my Kip - she's been growing in some lovely wattles and has been squatting for me, and the morning of the egg, she was making a racket and stalking through the nest boxes, while I...

What is a "normal" amount of daily feather loss for chickens? I'm a first time flock person, and while I was prepared for poop inspections to be a part of my life, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of FEATHERS everywhere, it looks like a chicken or five have exploded in the coop. This...
