Thanks for allowing me to be here, a new mommy of three chicks.

Looking forward to everything raising chicks and chickens has to offer. I'm loving my new family.

I like Fish Sticks...(I like eating)

Lake County...down by Apopka? We run down there.

Meanwhile, welcome, pull up a chair and make yourself
at home. Always lots going on in these parts.

I don't eat fish but fishing is another hobby of mine lol. I'm so excited to find this because anything I know about chicks and chickens is from a handful of Facebook groups. I'm in Leesburg so very close to the Ocala National Forest. Nice "meeting" you

You live in Florida and like to fish...who would guess that.

I was down in Tampa one time, took one of those fishing boats
out one day. That was enough. That silly boat went so far out,
I couldn't see land no more.

I wanted OFF.

Spooks like me, don't like water. I am certainly a dry-land Spook.


Spook...who lives far from the alligators in Florida.

I have seen the alligators on my tv.
They run very fast.
Spook runs very slow.

I took a boat out 20 years ago and won't do it again I was sick as a dog. But lakes and ponds, fresh water I don't mind. But you gotta be more careful with the moccasins, they're more aggressive, unless it's mating season or you're really messing with them they'll leave. I have kin in Ohio,
