👋 Hey y'all! I'm Winnie and I live in the Florida Panhandle on the beautiful Emerald Coast. I'm new to chickens... in fact they haven't even arrived yet but will be here on Thursday. I found the thread with the new member survey so here we go...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you...
Hey everyone! So, I was out yesterday, and I saw a malnourished looking Muscovy duckling. He had the feathering of a month and a half old duck, but he was the size of a three week old. I looked around for a mom, or some siblings, but I didn’t see anyone with his colouring (he’s light grey, the...
Hi! Our dutch bantam hen lost her silkie hen companion yesterday. She passed during surgery. We are devastated and her companion had been at the vets office since Friday. She is clearly very lonely and mourning her friend and we want to get her a companion as soon as possible. I am looking for...
Hi all!
Just looking to see if anyone buys feed from any local Florida feed mill? I’m looking to buy in bulk for my mixed flock, and hopefully get a bulk discount. Also wanting to support local businesses. Let me know if there any you know of and can recommend or anything. Thanks all! :hugs:wee...
I have a 8 month old Faverolles chicken. She’s a good layer but she is a little too vocal as I live in a neighborhood. Free to good home. Located in Florida.
Neighbours moved away and left these two here. They've been living in an empty lot across the street. I want to re-home them before my other neighbor shoots them. Any advice appreciated.
We started out with chicks and one turned out to be a rooster. My city doesn’t allow roosters so I have to find this beautiful boy a home. He’s about 20 weeks and we believe he’s a blue americuana. He is used to being handled and is very sweet.
Hi all!
I have some cute brown egg layer female chicks for sale that are available for local pickup in Miami, Florida (SW 32nd Ave & US1).
If you (or anyone you know) needs some brown egg layers if your life reach out.
When they're ready to lay, which is sooner than most other chickens (~20...
Hi fellow Floridians,
Winter is here and temperatures are dropping. I live on the east coast towards the north near St. Augustine. I'm a first-time quail parent and have coturnix quails of mixed ages (older ones are 3 and 4-5 months old) which I'll be introducing them eventually to our new...
Hello :) Greetings from South Florida!
My name is Paige and I've always wanted to own chickens. I lived on a farm a few years ago and took care of some. Now that my city has allowed BC, I want to start my journey! I don't currently own any, right now I'm spending time researching, trying to...
Hi y’all!
Before I ask my question… A little background: I raise a few chickens myself, but this year my school is allowing my class to raise chickens there! It’s exciting, but before we get any of the chickens I wanted to ask for some advice regarding funding, since that’s our biggest obstacle…...
Hello all! I'm a new to chickens, forums, and threads! 🙂 I have already posted a couple lengthy contributions, but nonetheless, I'd like to share that I am new to BYC and to chicken keeping since late April of this year when I aquired 4 Brown sex link hens and an EGLU Cube MK2. I have ALWAYS...
PEOPLE OF FLORIDA! Sign the petition to allow Backyard Chickens in ALL of Orange County!
Since 2013, Orange County commissioners have discussed chicken programs five times — but never approved one. However, just this last year, the board was considering a proposed ordinance that would permit...
I just relocated from Missouri to central Florida with my two ducks, a rouen and a silver appleyard. While it does get hot in Missouri summers, I want to make sure they’ll be ok here in the 90+ degree heat and humidity. The reason I’m worried is because today they’ve been standing at my back...

He is a satin silkie

Hello Friends! Soon I will need to re-home some beautiful and sweet buff orpington cockerels that I purchased as part of a straight run set of chicks. They are still young, but I wanted to put the message out there with time. We are located in Miami, FL, please let me know if you are interested...
I currently have an OPEN air coop (3 walls, 60 sq ft coop, 8 chickens, and a 120 sq ft run). Everything is cemented down, hardware cloth is secure with washers and screws. Its roof is also anchored down. I'm not necessarily worried about the coop...just the ladies.
But, i have 8 ladies in my...
