I'm in central Florida and would live to add a true Ameraucana (blue eggs) to my small flock. I currently have an EE that lays green eggs, a RIR that isn't laying yet and a game chicken I rescued from a bad situation. She has to be kept seperately as she doesnt play nice, but she lays well...
Nyrunner. In case you didn't read the thread that didn't happen. And by the way, I'm a Fl naturalist that has spent most of my life trying to protect Fl from invasives. We rescued them from dogs in the wild and if they would have made it I would have taken them to a friends private pond with...

I'm just getting back into it. As a kid we had Bantams, Silkies, different pheasants, cornish and some ducks. Had Black Sex links when my kids were little. We just rescued a Duth Bantam as a start. She's laying very well. And my boyfriend rescued 2 muscovy ducklings last weekend. Plan to get...
