Hello, I am wondering what the laws are for selling hatching eggs/breeding chickens in lake county. Specifically for AR zones and zones that fall under 10.01.06 Backyard Chicken laws. Do you need a limited poultry permit for either of these types of zones? I also do not see anything for selling...

Hey guys!! We have our first batch of Cornish cross chicks growing. They’re 3 weeks 6 days old today. We’ve had them in our garage floor with cardboard and shavings down in a puppy pen with brooder plates for a couple weeks now, and today I shut them off at noon to acclimate them to daytime...

Oh gosh, here we are again. Looking for potential adopters of mixed Runner Ducklings (Chocolate Runners x White/Fawn Runners - who may he mixed with Pekins) in Florida (we're in Tampa, but will travel for a good home). BACK STORY: Let me back up. In October, we rescued Delly as a 2-week old...

3 jerk cockerels- they’re actually great roosters, but hate me. They do a great job protecting their girls and finding tasty treats for them. I just have too many and am combining all my hens into 2 runs with only 2 roos. Jethro is an Ayam Cemani- this is a rare fibromelanistic breed (the rarest...

Howdy, Been off the forum a long time since we last had four hens in 2015. Looking to get back into it but the problem is that we now live in SW Florida and where we have to put the coop is right next to a canal. If you're not familiar with Florida, it's said you should just assume any water...

After losing one of my girls to an unknown predator, we no longer let them free range without constant supervision and extended the run by 20ft. Since they'll now be spending most of their day inside the run, I plan to build a 2ftx9ft grazing bed with removable hardware cloth top. I occasionally...

Hi, everyone. I am a soon-to-be chicken person in the fabulous Florida Keys. I was raised in a rural area and am not new to poultry but never though I'd have a little flock here in the Keys. We are picking up the girls tomorrow afternoon and bringing them to their southernmost domicile to be...
