Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the average day-time winter temperature in Hawaii around 70? Why does everyone keep bringing up frost-bite?

Quote: I read that raw potato skins are toxic to animals

LittleChickenRacingTeam, Your chickens are beautiful, what breeds are they? Maybe being wet makes them look more exotic lol.

A child did that? What kind of disgusting MONSTER could mutilate an animal like that... absolutely sick... I would have been furious!

We used non-toxic out-door "barn" paint from Lowe's... I want to say a pretty large can of it was only 10 or 11 bucks and it's designed specifically for outdoor animal shelters. Down side is it only comes in three colors (green, red, and white).

I posted an ad on craigslist.com and here and had a couple people email me from the craig's list ad... I just don't feel comfortable giving him away to total strangers. What if he's mistreated? I would have no way of knowing it...

Good to know, thank you I just want to make sure he goes to a good home

Oh, I'm going to cry... I can't stand to get rid of him not just because I'll miss him but because he and Bela have never been apart. I don't know if anyone will be willing to take care of him temporarily for me but I would be willing to pay for the favor. Bela and Chick:

Your beautiful white EE pullet and my handsome white EE roo would make pretty babies! Too bad you're so far away!

Just found out that our 4 month old EE is a rooster (and is crowing away every morning). He's a total sweetheart and it breaks my heart to let him go but we cannot have roosters where we live. We bought him at the feed store in Williston, FL where he was sold as an "Americana" so I don't know...

Wow okay caponizing is definitely not an option but thanks for the info... Six this morning he was going at it for a good 30 minutes. My fiance and I don't mind the noise but I'm sure our neighbors will get fed up pretty quick so I am going to have to get rid of him Bela (An RIR and his...

I don't know much about different breeds of chickens but that first picture didn't look very roo-ish... not much of a tail to speak of. And I have heard of crowing hens, no kidding.

I guess this may be a silly question... Can roosters be neutered?

Thanks for your input everyone! It's not great news but I'm glad to know... Now to convince my better half that having a rooster is a good idea...

Unfortunately we're breaking the law even having chickens here at all (even though we have a big back yard) so having a noisy bird drawing attention to us is a bad thing. I know, I know it's pretty irresponsible to have chickens where we're not zoned for it but we plan on moving later this year...

Butters is a very beautifully colored EE and is about 2 and a half months old now. She has always been the most docile and friendly out of our flock and seems to really enjoy being held and cuddled. What she seems to lack in eye-sight and agility (she can eat out of her feeder just fine but...

Anyone in north central FL looking for a very well-mannered EE roo? So when do roosters start becoming aggressive? So far Chick is definitely the bossy one of the group but never attacks us, actually he likes to be petted. Is it possible for a roo to stay that way?

Wow, I didn't realize how much she (or maybe he I suppose) had changed since a couple weeks ago when those first pictures were taken. Tail looks longer, but straight and her face is redder...

Recently our 4 1/2 month old easter egger, Chick Corea, has started crowing. It's a very clear "cocka-doodle-doo" every morning when the sun comes up and often when we come out to the coop to say hi and feed them. I know it's far-fetched but I've read several accounts of rooster-less flocks...

A safe place for them is a good idea, I'm just having trouble thinking of something the younger EE's could fit through that the older ones can't. They're not too much smaller than the older ones. The silkies on the other hand are still tiny! (so cute). I'll try to rig up something. Thanks, guys
