Hi there, we are looking to find a new home for our rooster “Bird Person”. He is 1 year old in April. We raised him from a chick purchased at a feed store in Orlando with Purina signage advertising them as actual Ameracaunas (rumpless photo and all), but I’m pretty sure he and the hen from the...

Yeah we always wondered if the best route is finding a local home for them since a move would be so logistically difficult. I just like our chickens so much! Just hypothetical for us anyway since we aren't moving but still. Glad you were able to find a good home for one flock and then take in...

Haha, yeah sometimes working out in the heat and he's hit his thumb with a hammer for the third time and those stupid nail/staple things keep flying out every time I try to hammer them, tensions can run high :he:lau I think chicken math hit so quickly since we built a big enough coop/run for...

So far (having had chickens less that 2 years) I haven't tried sand, but I've gone with just dirt, leaves, hay and now straw. Personally I don't like when it's just dirt AT ALL, especially in Florida when it's the rainy season and hot, so most of the time. I just had dirt this past month or so...

Thanks! This site is a goldmine of information. Invaluable in planning our coop, raising chicks, "can chickens eat [insert snack here]?" moments of doubt, and always the first place we look things up whenever we have any problems. Seems like there's always someone on here who's been through...

Melbourne. lol and now you've had your daily dose of geography trivia :D

Poor lil guy :lau He's probably jealous his ladies are spending time with a borrowed man haha. We tried to give my broody cochin chicks to care for (didn't have a rooster yet, the one we have was one of those babies) and she was instead creeped out by them. So we raised them in a brooder, but...

Thanks! I will be sure to check out the Florida forum. So did you end up moving with a flock? Always wondered about how that might go considering we aren't planning to live here forever.

Sorry you lost one of the babies. :,( Poor little guy! Kudos for the successfully hatched cuties though :) They are so adorable!

DUDE you have sheep, alpaca, and Guinea Fowl too? Man, sounds fun. Also, I always wanted to visit Australia! I live in the area of a city in Florida that shares a name with a city in Australia, but you guys probably have the more legit one.

Is the silky sad because he's just a little dude outsized by all those bigger ladies? lol. Sounds like a great flock! Welcome to the site :)

Hi there, I've been utilizing these forums since first getting chickens April 2016 and really appreciate the insight you all provide. I literally just realized I never have posted on here or even introduced myself so I figured it couldn't hurt. I live in Central Florida so the chickens go from...

Hi there, I think it's awesome that you were able to get them to coexist so nicely! Gives me hope because I always have wanted a greyhound but assumed it would be unsafe for my cat and chickens. I just learned they are good with house cats (my old cat doesn't run anyway, sounds like they would...
