At the feed store, the chick was sold to me as an Americauna sexed pullet, so that is all I am going on. I have a regular old run of the mill brown Americauna that looks like a regular pullet, smaller, smaller comb, no fancy tail or fancy neck feathers. This one is starting to try to "mount" the...

About 3-1/2 months

I am starting to think that “Etienne the prettiest hen” is so pretty because she may be a he. Please give me your thoughts… I have had americauna hens before but never a silver one. You can see the blue iridescence in the tail feathers and they are much longer than the other hen I have that is...

I appreciate it. Other than "pray for rain" (which, of course, happened as soon as I started to try one more thing!) I read around about giving them a pool, which was on the agenda, just not yet, so I went out and filled 2 "pools" and then Mother Nature teased us just long enough to make the...

I noticed some Jacksonville folks on here, so that is even better! (I live on the Southside.) It is pushing a 110 degree humiditure here today, and all my gals are literally panting! I put a big box fan out for them, added ice, and, luckily enough, they are smart enough to stay in the shade. (I...

I knew I would find the information I needed when I came to this forum. Thank you to all who share your stories. We thought our three nest boxes would be more than enough for the five, LOL, chickens we are "allowed" to have ihave (or the dozen or so that we actually have.) The middle nest box...

Hi, Y'all! I have been blessed with an offer for my coop to be built for me (all I did was ask for construction "scraps" so I could fashion something myself!) and all I need to do is say what I want! (No Chicken Condos, here, they knew I have limits, but they offered to built it 10' x 10' which...

Will do! I saw their Facebook page, but I stay away from FB for all the drama... I found that MyPetChicken.com will ship just 3 chicks at a time and you can chose your breeds, so that may be an option. If I were to go to Newberry, I would probably see if anyone else needed any chicks...

Thank you, I will look into that-maybe there is a day trip in my future! I have heard really good things about the Speckled Sussex, and since these gals will be mostly pets, they may be one that I get.

Thank you, that is good to know. My daughter & I went around to several feed stores last weekend to see what they had; we found Speckled Sussex, Golden Comets, and sex links. Hoping to not have to wait til spring. (I would go ahead and order the breeds I wanted & sell off the extras before that...

Hi, y'all! After moving about a bit, I am back in Jax & ready for more chickens! A few years ago we had up to 43 chickens of various ages, breeds, & sexes when we lived in the Hammock area of Palm Coast. I will now be living in an old neighborhood in town & will have room for only 3 pullets. (I...
