Hi all, my 13 week old Speckled Sussex decided to crow this morning. I am not allowed roosters where I live in Miami, FL. Any ideas where I can take him? I posted on craigslist with no luck.
Thank you. This makes me feel better. The comb has always been pretty pink and never tiny compared to some of my other breeds that have a single comb. This is a picture from about 4 weeks back.
Hi all, I'm a part of a Miami mom group where a few of us have chickens and like to share but it isn't encouraged as it's not mom/baby related (even though our chicks are also our babies!) I created a group and wanted to share in case any of you South Floridians are interested...

Thank you! These will be egg layers for personal use and they will end up being pets as well :) I am considering the Ameraucana and would also be happy with an Easter Egger. I'm also considering a Legbar if I can find one and maybe a Wyandotte or Barred Rock. I love Marans but am of their...
I am working on getting my first backyard pullets. I am only allowed a max of 4 where I live and have been researching all the varieties. I would love a colorful egg basket and need the hens to be of more docile breeds. I have a very hands on 1 year old! I am pretty set on a Buff Orpington and...
