Welcome to the FL thread!
Have you heard about the issues over on the other side of the state in Debary? The town is trying to take away a little autistic boy's chickens even though there isn't an ordinance. Good luck in your fight.
OMG that is so scary! im so sorry you had to see that. i am totally freaked out about bobcats & panthers (i heard therewill be more of these in the future). IMO nuthin scarier than a dog sized CAT!
how old should they be? should i let them get full sized? i have one that is in jail because he was attacking the girls and generally being a pia. he is pretty good sized now but another is still leggy. id like to see them bigger but will they get tough? one is about 6 months, the other is...
if i decide to process my cockerels how old should they be? i have one that has dark skin around his face (silkie x) can he be eaten? never seen a dark skinned chicken in the oven....
thats nice for you to even offer...a month or so ago i got a cuckoo marans pullet from ...shauna?....i love that bird. shes a real puppy's mother to the other birds but she lays a nice chocolate egg almost every day. i just am afraid to get stuck with another cockerel so i think i will let you...
ha, i hatched 4, 2 boys and 2 girls....but one of the boys must've had a marans jump the fence. he's got feathered legs and some gold & red coming thru his lovely blue background like a blue wheaten.
frostproof is pretty far for me (im north of orlando). maybe someone is traveling down &...
I got 3 new birds on Saturday- One laying hen (RIR) about 1.5y and 2 pullets (RIR & a Mix of some sort) about 3-4 months old. The hens were a mess- NO feathers on their rumps many missing tails, etc. The seller told me that he had big roosters in with the hens but he'd sold them last week and...
so sorry i didnt make down today. there is never enough time in the day.....maybe if i started at 3am like you
i appreciate the offer of eggs though. still looking for some local options.....
first of all....without pix it didn't happen
i would place them up on the new roosts just so they know theyre there. i put a new branch roost in my coop about a month ago and i just saw some of the birds using it over the top of the brooding pen i have in there.
oooh are you open tomorrow....im gonna check your site..i think i can make a little road trip. need any cockrels i have 2 ameraucanas, 2 ee, and an ee silky cross.
i am so frustrated! i just was out checking out the birds as i came home from work & i realized that yet another one of my youngsters is a cockerel that makes 5 boys out of 6 babies! crazy. i have been trying so hard to get some laying hens or pol pullets. my most recent aqusition (cukoo...
OMG! Do NOT go there I already have a nice roo & at least 2 cockerels- one is coming 4 months old, the other is 2 months old along with 3 hatchmates I haven't been able to be sure on the sex yet. Hoping for some pullets These guys [GIRLS! ] were given to me as pullets that are about 3 months...
I deleted all the heading stuff because the formatting was not coming thru correctly. I have highlighted why I think you may be mistaken...I wish you were right cuz I don't intend to have 3000 hens- LOL!
It reads to me that if I sell ANY eggs I fall under the FL Dept of Ag rules (those...
