No such thing as "quitting" chickens anymore. Everytime I did, gave all my supplies & leftovers away, only having to rebuy. So having rebought, decided I quit quitting. I may take a break but keep all my stuff.

The (2) Serama Mix are 5wks old, weighing in at 9 - 9.5oz, the Roo is either the Serama or Fighting Rooster. At this point I'm thinking I may have gotten lucky, both being pullets but don't want to get my hopes up. I miss my fresh eggs. They're in the brooder in the patio, doing fine and learning their way around. RC (last February adoption. 53# Pit/Catahoula) ignores them & they him.

The single hatch Serama is 2wks, weight about an ounce, wings & tail feathered, spoiled rotten. It's in the house although I take it out to "play" the the Duo in the afternoons, hoping it would follow them around in the patio. Instead it tends to stick close & gets underfoot and asks to be carried. No clue as to the sex yet.

They are precious little things.
:love:love:love
That they are ... Never liked Serama but their size may working for my new set up idea. I just found out a friend just ordered some chicks :D Learned Dels/TSC here now has 25# bags of FR as well as 50# ... Due to my shoulder/age the 50# was a problem to maneuver. Let's see what this year brings ...

Find something you like and there's a lot to like about chickens. I'm enjoying them more than I should. Provides focus and breakfast. You are correct, nothing like fresh eggs from grass fed chickens.

Gotta ask. Do/will the chickens play on the beach? How close to the beach are you? I was real tickled when I saw chickens walking around in Key West. Can't exactly tell you why I was tickled or why they were there, but chickens were there.

Mine won't be at the beaches, it's about 20 - 30 minutes from where I live plus parking can be an issue. We don't really have the sandy beaches like you see on the TV ads on this side of the Island ... but we make do with what we've got.
