Carol, congrats! I don't get email updates most of the time either. Figure it's a bug they need to work on after the switch.

He is good, shoulder is doing pretty good, lots of therapy on it every week. I am out of town tonight and return late tomorrow so he is on his own with the kids and critters both. LoL
When I get home I will pull the Emu hatch date. They are scheduled to hatch on. Wednesday I believe and he will pick up that Saturday at the latest.

Hey Floridachicken1958. Just for laughs and giggles I thought you'd like to see how the old boy grew up.





He was crowing at the time.

Does anyone sell regular chicken eggs? Like RIR or EE's.

I know someone that has RIR in this area, and someone in Ft.Myers with EE. Or Halo in Ocala, if she is still selling those. If we were all addicted to drugs instead of hatching, I believe I would be considered a "scout".

Hello I'm in Orlando close to Downtown. I just got a coop build by a nice guy from Palmer Feed. This will be my first time raising chickens. I will start out with one or two. I have a bunch of books and so far they got my nerves up and chasing my own tail. I made up my mind on Orpingtons and hope one day to have a couple of Silkies. I know that my husband will have to force me to come to bed because I will be guarding them 24/7. I just wish my enclosed back-porch had room for them at night. I will plan out something because no one will want me hop up on coffee and no sleep.Lol yup they will sleep on the porch at night. I wish everyone good luck and hopefully I will have pictures of my chic-kids soon.

I am in north west Polk county

I have a few birds left after the bobcat invasion of 2011. I have 7 chickens, 3 turkeys, 5 ducks, 10 duck hatchlings, 1 miserable Chinese gander (he needs a mate) I used to have more birds but they got picked off by a team of bobcats. Now I lock them up tight at night and am trying different ways to rid myself of the predators.

Glad to be part of the forum. Lots of good people here and a wealth of knowledge.

edit: forgot the 16 chicks happy in their new brooder
