Hello from Florida

[Denise in Florida]

Hi. I am glad I found you guys. I am new to chickens. I bought three little chicks last spring on a whim (not a recommended method I'm sure).

I have two Black Wyandotte Hens and a white hen that the sign said was a Plymouth Rock White but she looks nothing like the pictures I have seen of those.

I have been having a blast. They have a snug little coop for night time and free range in my backyard during the day. They eat laying crumbles and lots of table scraps. In fact I found this forum by googling for information about what scraps would be safe and I found a chart here. Thanks

I think one of my black hens is exceptionally pretty and looks very close to the 'breed picture' so I might try showing at our county fair later this month.

Thanks in advance for all the advice.

I'm in West palm.. Are you being affected by the wild fires? We're getting a tiny bit of rain now, still praying for inches though. then again.. come summer.. We pray for it to stop raining
