Greetings from Marion county Florida

[Gene Neill]

Thanks for having me! I've been crawling this site for info already, I figured it was time I joined!

I'm a 52 year old guy who has toyed with raising eggers my whole life, but never quite got around to it. This week, I FINALLY began building a coop!! It's a 6' x 12' semi open-air, lean-to design. We're super excited to be chicken owners very soon! Thanks to everyone here for all the help you folks have been already.

Stand by for lotsa dumb questions!
