Cpartist, your girls and eggs are beautiful!!!! I live in Oviedo and sometimes travel to Gainesville for work. Are all your girls healthy? I'm terrified of CRD.

I went over last weekend to cpartists to pick up some NH and a BCM hen for my father. Her birds are awesome! In fact my avatar is one of her NH hens.I would certainly buy from her again anytime! the ladies were well adjusted and fit into his existing flock with little to no trouble at all. Scarlet the red hen in my avatar laid the first day in her new coop! My dad is actually lucky to get her because after I got to know her the week she was at my house I wanted to keep her. But I didn't have a buddy to introduce her with into my flock so I had to let her go.

lol!!

Thanks Wednesday! Yes, all healthy, no issues at all. I have closed flocks and have never and will never bring in adult birds. All my starts have been from shipped eggs or chicks, and haven't done that in a long while. Everyone coming on the property gets their feet sprayed with Oxine

I can vouch for cpartist. I bought 2 beautiful GSBR from her earlier in the year and both birds were/are still extremely healthy. The pictures of her birds do not do them justice. They are even more beautiful in person.

Thank you TREX and Brookhavens. Turns out I had a friend who bought a one year old Ameraucana Rooster from her two weeks ago and is thrilled with her new roo. Small world.

Yes, it is a small world! The best part about this whole chicken thing has been meeting so many nice people. Chicken people are fantastic and it has been great to get to know some of you around FL!

Anyone here in FL breed and sell call ducklings?

Anyone have an idea of what kind of snake this is? It is a small snake I found this morning.

That head makes me think poisonous. Go to this page and you may be able to identify - http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-guide/snakekey.htm - it is kind of a flowchart

Thanks cmom. Enjoying all the wealth of information and chat. I'm new to the whole chicken thing but have always been an animal/bird lover. I've been breeding small parrots (parrotlets amd lineolateds) for years and am so excited over my new little chicks. I got Buff, Silver and Golden Laced Polish, EEs, Cochin Bantams, Red Ginger Old English Bantams and Splash Silkies. In the coming weeks I will be looking for a Wheaten Ameracauna Rooster if anyone has one available. Thanks again and I look forward to being a part of the group.

What do the eyes look like? Most poisonous snakes have a pupil like a slit in the center of the eye. Non-venomous snakes usually have round pupils. The exception is the coral snake, a venomous snake in the U.S.that has round pupils. But coral snakes have a coloration that is a dead give away to their venomous nature this guy is obviously not one, lol!
