I have had good luck keeping the heavier fluffy breeds alongside my lightweight chickens. My flock has proven to do much better than some of my local friend's flocks though and I really think it's from the amount of shade they have. Set up their coop and run under a tree canopy. Trees...

I reached out to another chicken friend this morning and she said she knows someone that would likely be willing to let go of one or two of his big roos. We're all in Effingham too. I can get his info for you if you would like. Are you on Facebook?

I did have a big chonky English Orpington roo but my friend snagged him, lol. He wasn't the best defender but he was pretty and very people friendly. He used to walk right into her living room to hang out if she left the door open. 😅

No problem, he's about the size of a Leghorn. More streamlined than a barred rock.

He's hyper aware when I even walk out the back door and I hear him alarming the hens when we have a hawk. In my personal opinion he seems a bit paranoid because it's not uncommon for him to do the same with buzzards, lol but if you're having issues with predators he's pretty nutty about keeping...

I have one that you're welcome to but he's less than a year old. He free ranges all day. He was raised by a broody hen so he's super skittish of people but not aggressive towards people. He only has a few hens right now and none of them are "over loved" they all have their back feathers.

Let me know if you know anyone that wants a couple of roosters, lol. I'll include some hens to sweeten the deal too. 😆

HEY!! I live near Rincon too!

There is a North Georgia chicken group on Facebook, maybe check there to try to find more people local to you. :) Good luck!

Too bad you aren't closer to the Savannah side. I was hunting for leghorn hatching eggs around here but had to order them online because nobody local seems to have any.

Oh no! So sorry for your loss. :hugs

I don't know anything about the area you're moving to but lots of people keep happy healthy ducks and chickens over here on the Savannah side of Georgia. Just make sure they have plenty of access to shade and water out of direct sunlight as well because it will heat up quickly.

I have all of the above. I have pea combed chickens, fat fluffy English Orpingtons & Wyandottes, feather foot Marans, and I've had a bantam Cochin that was 7 years old before a hawk got her. The trick to keeping any chickens here is to give them access to a lot of shade and lots of water out of...

Honey Joe Senter is loved by many, last I checked she was with Rawls Realty but it has been some time since I talked to her last. She's also a renowned masseuse if you have tension after viewing property. lol!

To bad you aren't closer to Savannah! There are soooo many people just getting started with their little flocks and started pullets are a huge plus.

I'm just now seeing this post but if you haven't found one yet I'm confident I can find a small docile hen or rooster for you. I have friends with pet Seramas and Silkies. I know one for sure has some older babies that sound like they would be perfect for your needs. I'm just outside of...

That depends on the breed and how good you are at determining gender. I can usually start to pick them out at about 5 weeks almost always by 8 weeks but if you wait until they're about 12 weeks it's pretty undeniable.

FINALLY! Someone in my area! Welcome to BYC! :welcome

:fl Oh yeah, your's are definitely due! Fingers crossed for you!

It's warmer here in Georgia so you might get lucky but I find the shorter days make the pullets take a little longer to start laying. I have 3 I'm waiting on too. Lol
