Sorry about going silent. A water pipe underneath my mobile home snapped, I was helping the maintenance guys because the new pipe just would not glue right and kept popping back apart.
But as to the chickens I can meet you with my girls in DeLand on Wednesday or Thursday if that works for you.
I’ not moving for a couple months yet, but my place is a rental and I have to clean up and replant the grass. I’m free until Friday this week and Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday off next week. Beyond that I don’t have my work schedule yet.
Someone suggested posting this here as well as on rehoming.
I have six hens about ten months old in Fort Myers Fl. that need a new home. I’m moving back to Minnesota and MN laws won’t allow me to bring them into the state.
All are good egg layers, about two and a half to three dozen eggs a week...
Unfortunately I don’t have anyway to move the coop. Even if I took it all apart it won’t fit in my truck, I can’t rent a truck big enough right now either as I’m already renting two at different times for moving. The coop is just too big, 12 feet long by 10 feet wide by 5 feet tall.
If you’re...
Sorry for bumping an old thread then.
I just figured some current well researched information would be useful.
A lot of people around here keep chickens in areas it’s not really allowed. They just hope nobody is bothered enough to go to the trouble of reporting to the zoning office, which does...

I live just outside of Fort Myers and you can have chickens in ag zoned areas (these do exist) and some cities in the area have inacted chickens regulations.
Fort Myers proper and Bontita Springs allow a limited number of hens but no roosters.
Anything in Lee county that is zoned residential or...
I know it might not be possible but personally I would move. (Take you, your ducks, your family and all your business elsewhere!)
The city officials sound like they just don’t care and are making excuses to undermine their own laws. Add a bad neighbor and you’re going to keep having problems no...
Sounds to me like they should be trying to change the city laws then.
That has nothing to with you or current laws. Some people are just ignorant.:idunno
I’m with Fishmtfarm, I would fight that decision. You don’t control nor are responsible for you neighbor’s dog anymore than they are your ducks. And getting rid of the ducks probably won’t make the dog stop digging, if a dog likes to dig they dig.
If the officials in whatever office don’t listen...
I guess I’ll clarify a little.
I’m just looking at first gen crosses right now. ( I have no line breeding experience except fish)
I’m wanting to know if the roosters would “share” or is there some kind of dividing of the hens?
Would telling which hens eggs are from which rooster be too hard...
Hi everyone.
So I’m going to be starting my flock over after moving and was thinking of starting to lay the base for a future breeding flock.
I’m thinking if I create a mixed flock of blue egg layers like Super Blues or Amaracuanas and a barred breed either PBR or Dominique with two roosters...
