Hi, just an intro for myself. live in west central Fl, Acquired 5 chickens last November (not of my doing). Was not thrilled with the impulse purchase the wife and daughter made, knew I would be doing most of the work.
But now it has kinda stated growing on me. Built a small coop and hen house out back. Live in a residential area btw. Turned out 4 of the flock were roosters. Family took the drive this weekend and returned to 4 to granny's (who happens to work at an animal auction near Brewster).
They got the 4 sold and used the money to but 2 more chicks that are supposed to be hens (we'll see), and some accessories, on top of all the stuff I have been making on my own.
I'm really liking using all the junk around the house to fabricate needed supplies. I'm determined to save every penny that I can, helps to keep it all interesting I guess.
When allowed I will post pics of what I have built (nothing fancy I'll tell you). Would also like to post a pic of the one hen to see if we can id it's breed.
looking forward to taking part here.
