We've taken them all and put them in the incubator. The main reason we took them she just hopped down from the ceiling one day and never went back.The nest was in between the barn ceiling and hay loft floor above an occupied horse stall so it wouldve been bad news if they had hatched up there
The hens & the rooster came from the same neighbor. I believe he called them jungle runners or something like that. The hens have gold feathers on their heads & necks the rest of their bodies have a sort of gray/brown dirt color. I will have to see if i can get them to sit still so i can get pics
This spring we got twin pullets from a neighbor. Yes twins, their momma hatched them from a double yolker. Crazy as that may sound. A couple months into laying one if the gals seemingly disappeared. After a couple weeks of not seeing her we found out she set up shop above a horse stall and had...
Anyone know of any lavender orp breeders or fertile eggs in western ma? My friend just lost her lavender orp and that was her favorite hen. I was hoping to find her another hen as she was laying on a clutch of 7 fertilized eggs when we lost her and she was the only broody in the coop

Im on board too! I currently live in clermont, on the edge of the city limits. I am looking to move to Polk city/ Lakeland before the end of this year. I do not know the ordinances of Polk county or Polk city right now, but I figure whatever they may be, there is always room for improvement. I...
I am looking to move.to Polk city, almost Lakeland. Does Polk city have a bird limitation per acre kind of thing or is it the generic "3 hens per household"? I know some places that city says yes to chickens while county says no, and vice versa. I have 4 hens & 1 roo but I want more! And I m not...
I am looking to move myself and my critter family to Polk county. I am now in lake county, so I have only looked up their chicken ordinances. Does anyone know of any places to rent near Haines City or Davenport that I can keep my flock? Maybe even expand?? I am looking for somewhere on the edge...
My ladies go crazy for raisins! I dropped one and chicken keep-away was on in full swing! Now I know they are looking for raisins every time I open their door.
