Hello community!

[FLPrettyGirls]

My husband and I currently live in Georgia (metro Atlanta area). We have purchased a house in Wildwood FL and when I retire in a year, we will move there full-time.
I have ALWAYS wanted hens and am excited that I will finally get them when I retire! In the meantime, I will look at the pics of your girls and read your comments, stories and the articles posted on this site so that when it is time, I hopefully make the best decisions possible for my girls. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your community!
Melissa and husband Lonnie

Thank you! I have an Aunt who lives in Maine. Amazing how the computer can connect us all, no matter where we call home.

Hiya, Melissa and Lonnie, and welcome to BYC!

In case you haven't picked what breeds you want, a member wrote this great article about dozens of breeds of backyard chickens. It might help you decide. I'm partial to silkies myself and that's all I raise.
