My husband and I were at the coop, feeding and petting all the chickens. I thought he was tapping on the wood, like knocking on a door, three rapid taps. He said he wasn’t. We realized one of our Speckled Sussex was making the noise! I’ve tried to research it, but can’t find anything. The only...
I have a 6wk old rooster and can’t have him in town! This breed is supposed to be a rare breed. So sad! He’s already full of personality! They’re supposed to be really laidback, not aggressive! Looking for a good home for him. I live in the Florida Panhandle. Hoping to find someone local. If...
I live in the FL Panhandle . I am new to chickens and am really excited! Almost finished with my coop! I have 7-6wk old chicks. One turned out to be a rooster. It’s a French Crevecoeur. They’re considered rare. 500 breeding pair in the US. He is adorable and has a funny personality. I’m so sad...
