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

2 Pekin Drakes need a new home. Hatched in the last week of August 2020, they are now 4 months old. These ducks are sweet boys-raised as pets, and used to free-ranging over several acres and a large pond. They have become aggressive towards chickens since losing their mates to what I suspect is a great horned owl. I no longer let my birds out before 9am, live and learn If you are interested in taking these ducks, I would be willing to meet you in Palm Bay, Stuart or Yeehaw Junction, if Vero Beach is too far for you to drive.

The lucky duck with the BlueKote stain survived a hawk attack a couple months ago, the rooster, not so lucky. They haven’t had a first molt yet, so guessing the purple feathers will disappear after that.

Hey neighbors! I've recently split one of my cockerels out from the flock because he was beating up on the other cockerel. Shimmie has his own secure 8x12 bachelor pad, but he paces most of the day. I'd like to find him a few (preferably bossy) hens as companions.

Anyone looking to re-home a few hens and make Shimmie happy? Maybe some slightly older ladies who are slowing down in their egg production?

(He also has a nipple waterer, but likes his dog bowl, lol)

Thank you! Looks like I just missed the most recent one.

Yes, it was yesterday. Our next one is in three weeks because January has 5 Saturdays this month. Our next one is on Saturday February 13th.

If I were to come, what is the the best way to transport/display chickens?

 

[cmom]

I have cages I put my birds in as do most people. Here I took some males to a show to sell.

Here I have a truck and trailer load of males in cages I'm taking to sell to a place across the state where I used to sell them. They are no longer in business so now I take them to the swap to sell when I have some to sell. I covered the cages in case we got some rain.

Another seller. They raise rabbits.

Thanks. I was thinking a cat/small dog carrier would work but I am concerned about them bolting during the transaction.

A pet carrier will work fine. Some people use them. Don't worry there will be a lot of people there and usually someone will have a net. I usually have one too. There are very few escapees and if they do escape they will get caught, lots of help.
