    Oviedo FL Chickens Ordinance

    I live in Oviedo on the end of town where there are wild roosters/chickens. Our town sign is a rooster and Oviedo is literally known for the wild ones. I’m not sure about HOAs- they have their individual laws. But I’m not thinking anyone is going to say anything about owning poultry here!

    7 week chicks - do these look like pullets?

    I’d guess Roo on Nutmeg- but he’s beautiful! You can tell by the tail and comb. The immature Roos are very sweet usually to people. Rosemary is a pullet. She’s beautiful as well! I can’t tell on the barred rock.

    Normal chick behavior?

    I agree with all the above posts. To add- that one may just have a big personality! We had one like that too- now she’s been the kindest, first one to lay eggs, also lets us hold her and is most social. They are all different! :welcome:loveLove the chicks! They grow up so fast!

    hen or cock please,15/16 wk old

    Both hens (pullets) in my opinion! We have one! Pretty girls! :frow Although your two do have the more pointy feathers in the neck and the tails do seem darker and straighter, so I see how this is a question. So maybe Roos. I’m not sure. My guess is pullets though!

    Roo or 2 pullets? 20 weeks old Speckled Sussex

    Oh she’s so cute! :loveShe looks like mine did a few weeks ago! I love how they grow so fast! We feed lots of mealworms, treats like veggies, black oil sunflower seeds, and pellets (Purina). They also free range every day. I’m sure she’s going to look the same! Good for you for rescuing her...

    Chicken Run - Buy or Build?

    I’ve never seen mice. We have a large feral cat colony in our neighborhood ( and yard :barnie) and hawks who stalk our chickens so I don’t think mice would stand a chance around here!

    Chicken Run - Buy or Build?

    With all that you need to do to make it preditor proof and weather proof you probably should consider building it yourself or having someone help build it. Certainly use pressure treated plywood. Heavy gauge 1/4 “ hardware cloth galvanized. Also nail in the hardware cloth not staples. There’s...
