Hello BYC friends!

[ShiddyAcresFarm]

I'm new to the site. We are starting our flock this weekend. Any suggestions on keeping them safe is much appreciated. Also, I would love suggestions on types of chickens for a hot environment. I'm located in Florida. TIA

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. I think your best bet would be to post on the Florida state thread- where folks who have chickens, discuss how they raise and treat them.

Thank you so much! I will definitely do that.
