    Colorful birds, Florida hatchery

    Neighbor and I are looking to add color to the flocks (feathers, not shells) but would rather buy and pick up from a Florida hatchery. Does anyone have or know of a hatchery with these (one or many) breeds? Gold-Laced Wyandotte Silver-Laced Wyandotte Blue Andalusian Welsummer

    Pretty Boy - Breed Anyone?

    No wonder I couldn't find a breed is he's a cross. Hopefully, he takes care of my girls.

    Pretty Boy - Breed Anyone?

    You guys are really good about breed so I'm going to put this in the mix. Neighbor got him as a 6 week old and he has since taken over my flock when my RIR Roo got killed by a hawk. Picture is not great it was raining and through a fence. tia.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    That's the advantage of living in Florida. I plant seeds 1 Jan and put in the ground 1 Mar. If I can keep my chickens out of the gardens, I'll have veggies by mid April. When I was in MO, we wouldn't plant plants til May and hope for Tomatoes by 4 July picnic.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Tough tough fall gardening this year. My first set of tomato plants from seed were all broken/killed by tropical storm rains for 2 days. I bought plants from my local feed store only to watch them get beat up by more rain this week. I'm beginning to think I'm not going to get a fall tomato...

    After yesterday's almost TS now TS Julia's rain my little flock needs row boats and kayaks to get around the back yard. The run is squishy wet but the coop made it through with flying colors; not a single drop of water inside. Last night 7 of the 12 birds didn't go back to the coop to...

    I have an EE (my avatar) who was so close to going into the pot she could feel the hot water. She was 33 weeks old before she layed her first egg. If she wasn't pretty she'd be dinner. My RIRs & BR's all were under 21 with 2 only 17 weeks. All that wait but no blue egg. It's cream-colored.

    This thread is ongoing like the Enegizer bunny but it's been kind of quiet lately. I, for one, monitor the thread for activity and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Busy time of year for many of us. If you have questions, just post them. Stay Tuned. We're a friendly bunch.
