rescue chicken

Concerned for my rescued hen. Hey y’all, this here is roadrunner our first rescued hen. we’ve had her about a month and 2ish weeks now, my partner and his coworkers ended up spotting her in a very busy part of our town when heading home for the day. we assume she’s a young hen as she’s smaller...

hello! we recently rescued some factory farm chickens. they are not in good shape, but we are worried for one in particular. she is 11 months old, maybe weighs a kilogram. when she arrived she was being transported with a huge amount of other chickens, she was squished under them. she is weak...

Hey All, I am a 29 year old male who lives in North Hollywood, CA and about 2-3 months ago a young chicken walked into my front yard. It was cute and pretty quickly seemed to form some attachment to me. I found the chicken to be surprisingly chill an friendly. I live in a small house with two...

I just rescued this hen!!! I actually rescued four hens and a duck but was only able to keep ONE. A family friend is going through a divorce so we decided to rescue the animals after finding about 10+ chickens and ducks that were dead. I absolutely had to take them and find the other homes. I...

Apparently I've become known as the crazy bird lady of the neighborhood, because early this week a lady showed up on my doorstep to tell me about a random rooster seen running around a yard down the street where the house is under construction. Apparently the construction workers had caught it...

What colour morph is this Ameraucana? This precious girl was a hatchery rescue. She suddenly passed away recently and we realized that we never figured out what “colour” she was. Any idea what she’d be called?

I live in Ohio and was wondering if anyone knew any places where you could adopt a bird who was rescued from a bad situation (ie factory farm or neglect or injury). My family loves helping animals and we want to adopt a bird in need ❤️

Hi All, One of my rescues started getting the common problem that many rescues do, EYP. Having lost most of my others this way I decided after her second round of getting it and surviving with antibiotics (tylan) to try an implant. I was expecting the side effects such as lethargy and loss of...

Joanie wandered into our yard last Nov. in bad shape. She was skinny, dazed & had lost all the feathers on her rump. My guess is she’s an ISA Brown that flew off a truck headed for tyson or other processor. Nursed her back to health in following months & integrated her into our small 5-hen...

I’m currently nursing a hen with frostbitten toes. She’s doing very well, I have her with a companion though and I noticed something strange about the companion hen’s eye. Both girls are rescues* (*we didn’t know how much they were neglected when we purchased them) from a hatchery. We got them...

Hello, I need to find a home for 5 roosters in South Florida. My parents live in the Hollywood, FL area cannot take care of them anymore. Does anyone know where we could take them for them to live a happy life? Any advice would be great! Thank you!

I need some advice about integrating but in a kind of backwards way… usually I see people integrating pullet with older hens… I want to do the opposite. I have 3 pullets, about 12 weeks old. I’m wanting to rescue a few more hens but they’re about 12 months old so will be larger than the...

Things I've done so far: 1) Checked for mites. (Didn't see any.) 2) Checked her feet for bumblefoot. (She had some type of scab on her foot, so I removed that and applied Peroxide to it.) 3) Gave her a bath because she stank to the high heavens. 4) Got her set up in a kennel (with food...

I am trying to rescue a single hen from a family friend who bought two rabbits and was also given the hen, the rabbits have done some damage to the feathers on the poor thing as they have been eating (or pulling) them. I haven’t seen the hen yet, I am just hoping they’d give her to me. I also...

Ok, so we just rescued a chicken who had been dumped and living in the woods by herself for about a year. I know what I'm supposed to do regarding incorporation, taming, Etc... I just have 2 things I'm not too sure about: 1: I'm very glad she's safe, but I'm terrified that she might have some...

Well had a lovely free roaming Roo show up and start hanging around our flock. He appears to have stick tight fleas. I have never dealt with these before, and don't want to get an infestation. IF I scoop him up and treat him, any chance I can get rid of them and possibly integrate him or...

I am in Canada, and if anybody lives here, they know how hard it is to find pest control. Long story short, im pretty sure my previously stray chicken has lice and has passed it to my other chicken (found a louse crawling next to her eye). I can only assume they are both infested. I only have...

Hey guys! I picked up this little guy yesterday morning. He was abandoned in a box at a dog park with no food or water. He has some welts on his back, he’s in great hands now and loved to cuddle I’m more then positive it’s a male but I was wondering if anyone knew this breed. He is beautiful and...

Hello all! I have a forum that explains the story of our sweet rescue chicken and this will include her new flock of friends we recently adopted.The link is here: Mabel's Story The exciting news is that we got our very first egg today! We adopted 3 one-year-old chickens from a local suburban...

Hello! My name is Ellen. Recently, over the last few weeks, a chicken has been visiting my backyard. I figured she was a free range chicken and went back to her coop at night. I ended up following her one night and found out she was living in a downed tree behind my fence. I started giving her...
