Hello fellow chicken lovers

[Gwinndugger]

Hello all,

I am new to backyard chicken keeping and look forward to using the site to help me along this exciting adventure. My chickens are all pullets about 9 weeks old. We have 4 golden sex links, 1 Easter Egger, and one black Australorp. We live in the city and can only have 6 hens.

So far some of the best parts have been raising the birds with my children and seeing some different personalities in each bird. I am an HVAC technician and enjoy working with my hands. I built our coop myself and enjoyed the whole process.

Again look forward to seeing you guys and thanks in advance. I will upload some pictures of the hens and coop once I figure out how

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Chickens sure are fun to keep, aren't they? Each has their own personality, some enjoy affection, some are quite curious and some can even learn some words! I am glad you are enjoying your flock and welcome to ours!

This is a very eggciting place. I live over by Ocala in Citrus County. Good luck with your flock and have fun.

Hi! Welcome to BYC! That sounds like a great mix of pullets. You'll get lots of help here on your journey for sure. We love pictures!!

If you ever get over to the Ocala area we have a farm swap twice a month at the Dunnellon TSC. I won't be there at the next swap because I'm going to a poultry show in Lake City at the Columbia County fairgrounds, but I usually go to the swap even as moral support.

Welcome to BYC! Congratulations on being a new chicken keeper. They are so fun to watch and you have come to the right place to learn all you need to know on keeping them. Wonderful winters down there but I sure don’t envy anyone doing HVAC in Florida summers! Good luck and enjoyment on your new chicken ventures.

It’s wonderful to raise chickens and children together. It’s even better having the children feed, water and collect eggs when you just want a moment of peace!
We look forward to seeing your pictures!
