Hello,
I have a half acre property in Central Florida and would like some backyard chickens just for eggs for my husband and I. We began a veggies garden last year and through a lot of trial and error we are now producing our groceries minus the meats. We feel in love with being self sufficient and decided that maybe it's time to have fresh eggs. We are 60 years young and looking for advise from the veteran BYC'ers to be prepared and well informed before jumping in.

Our County allows BYC with a permit. I'm going to begin that process next week. I'd love to know what breeds I should consider due to the Central Florida heat, wet season, and winter freeze dates. Not to mention I'm by a lake and we have lots of wild life so protecting my future girls is really important. We are animal lovers and want to be responsible chicken owners. We want them healthy and happy so I thought this would be a great place to learn,

Thank you in advance for any advice or tips you can share with us.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
