Wow, it's been a while since I have posted here! Good news! After we both retired, my husband and I found a place in the country of North Florida. We've been here a year tomorrow. I now have a lot more chickens, some guineas, mini pigs, gardens, and an old house with a real fireplace on five acres. I've never been so busy, nor so happy. Only sad news is Jake passed due to cancer, and Miss Millie passed due to a really freak accident. Miss them both so much, but I have a lot more silkies now. 4 adults, and 13 chicks from the hens this spring. Soo cute!!!

Hello everyone! I've been with Backyard Chickens for a while but never introduced myself. I used to have property in 'the sticks' but fell in love with a city man and we live in town now. I have a third of an acre in Florida, and 2 'stealth' chickens as we are not allowed them here. I also have a house chicken and raise coturnix quail, and some parakeets that were unexpectedly left for me. And two dogs. And a loving husband. And two grandkids who visit frequently. I have a lot of gardens and am trying to create a 'food forest', although I'm running out of sunny spots! We are retired, but once a week I lead an art group at a local mental health center. I am an artist, working in almost all media, but I also love to do crafts and needlework. I used to sing a lot, but I have asthma now and my voice cracks too much. So I sing to the animals now. It's a mostly wonderful life.

It sounds like you are creating an awesome space for your secret stash (chickens), grandkids and you and your husband. Enjoy this next part of your journey!
