FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

[N F C]

I've been putting off writing this post but it's time...

DH and I are moving out of state and I can't take my flock. If anyone close to the Florahome/Keystone Heights/Stark/Palatka area is interested in having my mixed flock of 8 chickens, I'd appreciate them getting a good home. They are all 2 years old this month, good layers and healthy. I'd like them to go together as one flock if possible.

I have:
3 red sex links
3 BR
2 SS

Please PM me if you are interested. I don't have a lot of time to re-home them so please let me know as soon as possible. Their food, waterer, feeders, etc. would go along with them.

OH no!!!!!! Where to?

Up date...again! All 6 eggs hatched, looks like 3 pullets and 3 cockerels

How can you tell which are the females and which are the males?

I wish I could take them but don't have room. My coops are filled and I just hatched out a ton of chicks with more due this week and another batch after that, but then no more hatching for this year. I do have one coop empty, my chick/grow-out coop. I just sold the birds that were in it so I would have room for the chicks.

We're moving to Wyoming. The company DH is going to work for is providing housing, no animals allowed. That would be a really hard trip to take chickens on anyway, it's 1900 miles away and will take me 3-4 days to get there.

I wish you could take them too cmom. I know they would have a good home with you. I love these girls and it's really hard to give them up.

Thank you anyway.

How can you tell which are the females and which are the males?

After the last batch of babies gave us 2 roos...we decided next batch would be auto sex chickies so we could know earlier which were girls and which we boys...cuz we don't want boys...actually...we can't have boys cuz were in the city and they don't allow us roos.
Marlin and Norman went to our breeder friend so they went to good homes and not the stew pot.
These new babies that we don't want to keep are going to a friends farm, so at 2 days old we know who's what and that makes it possible for us to make arrangements for them...without being under the gun

We are going to build a new coop for our Leghorns but don't know how soon it would be. We have most of the materials. We are going to use metal siding on it. WE are going to put new siding on all of the coops as they are all made of wood and so old that they are starting to fall apart so we are going to work on them and put metal siding on them too.
This is an older picture and we have started some. This picture was taken with a zoom so the coops aren't as close as they appear in the picture.

Quote: I do admit that some of our males do go into the freezer, especially my Sex-Link males. I do raise them until processing time. My pure birds, I try to sell the birds for breeding. I'm sure a few of them might go into stew pots but most are used as breeders. I have a rather large flock so our circumstances are very different. Good luck and have fun...

I love farm fresh chicken, but my wife has this rule...we dont eat what we raise or name. She wont let me get a rabbit because she says I'll eat it. !
