    Greetings from Sunny FL!

    Hi Everyone- I got my first chicks (2 RIR, 2 BuffOrps, 2 barred rockes) last fall on a bit of a whim and they now 7-month old hens that I am in LOVE with! A few weeks ago I got 3 Easter Egger chicks. I've just moved them from indoors to a dog kennel on my lanai (it's 85-90 during the day...
