Oh my goodness your new chickies are precious!  I love that stage but they grow up so fast.  I have a mix of girls like that too, keeps it fun!

Thanks. It does make it fun. It's funny, the other white 2 month old started making weird noises today...I think she may be a he...

Also whatever got my chick yesterday did it between 0830-0930. What animals prey at this time?

I noticed the hawks here like the morning hours, then late afternoon. Dogs might be let out when owners get up or leave for work. Cats hunt any time: once had a panther walk right out in front of my car and stand there like the car didn't exist. Also have seen foxes and racoons out in daylight.

Next week I will be ordering Broiler and three different whole grains for fodder. I've had a few requests for those.

Yeah other than between 5pm and 730pm, this was the first time I'd experienced this. Have seen raccoons all hours, day or night. And even a wild boar once early in the morning.

Do you have a lease and did you get ok in writing? You have tenant rights in Florida. Don't let them push you around.

It was specifically in my lease.....I found great buyers for everything, amazing! I'll be back again when I get my own place....

Awww thanks kwol! Pretty much it sucked. I legit cried for 45 minutes, like hysterical sobbing. It was remarkable how it affected me, I must've looked like a blubbering fool!

Welcome to the Florida group Jen. You are close to me (in Seminole). I've found a lot of good info on this site. We are first timers with backyard chickens. I bought (3) 3-4 month olds from a farm in Pinellas Park back at the end of March. We just got our first eggs this week and ate some yummy scrambled eggs this morning! It has been a great project for my kids. We love our little flock!! Good luck to you!
