So great to hear of a fellow BO flock in Miami!
Miami-Dade county states 10 hens no roos, I believe the enclosure has to be 10 feet from any structure where ppl reside. It's posted on the county website if you google it. Depending on what city in Miami you are in you will also have a separate...
I'm curious about this. I've got two BO's, one has been broody and unbreakable. (I've always regretted getting just two, when I have room for up to five.) I considered getting fertilzed eggs, but it's late December and I have had trouble finding them in season. Added with the fact I'm in the...

This is Porquette, our 6 month old. I have been keeping a close eye on our girls as we are waiting for eggs. Today I noticed longer feathers on her tail. I did check to see if they were just loose and poking out further. Can you please check out these pics and help me tell if I am seeing signs...

Thank you all! Very helpful. Since I am a pirate (no BYC in our town) I don't want to attract code compliance with anything on the fence. Thankfully my neighbors love the hens and come over often to "bird watch".
I am going out to get a fresh pair of scissors after work today to use. All...
I know this has been posted several times but I'm still not sure. Im not against clipping. Only reason I wouldn't clip is because its another thing I have to do since hubby, uh... is a sentimental city slicker ;)
My two BO ladies are 10 weeks, they fly to roost. BUT they are big enough to fly...
