Hi from Gainesville, FL!
I've been sneaking around for a while on the forums hoping somehow I could figure out how to hide a hen next to the pool at my significant other's house. Even considered keeping a hen in my apartment (people keep other birds in their houses right?
). BUT, I just found out, I have to move out of my apartment anyway. I found a house to rent with a nice big back yard! Neighbors have chickens too! Boyfriend is very excited to build a coop and play with chicks! I'm very excited about fresh food!
About Me:
Sophomore Veterinary Student at UF
Have 1 dog, a collie mix named Skip
Had 2 flocks of 30-40 RIRs growing up (as well as horses)
Planning on getting a few EEs, a polish, BF wants a silkie, maybe a few RIRs, not sure what else?
I would like to get a few guineas and maybe a duck, but not sure neighbors would appreciate the noise
I want to try to get a hen or two in July to start out with so I don't have to wait for eggs with the chicks
If anyone will be selling chicks or hens in July/August anywhere around Gainesville to Orlando please let me know!
