Hello from Florida!

[turtlewomyn]

I am located in Tallahassee and have decided (after more than a year of thinking about it off and on) to start a small backyard flock. I am here to do research as I get ready (although now that the decision has been made it is really hard to wait!).

I learn several things on this site everyday. It is really awesome! Check out all the different breeds and see which ones you fall in love with. Welcome to BYC!

Howdy from Kansas, turtlewomyn and

! I like your approach of research first, then purchase.

I went the other way because I lacked the will power to wait and had to learn on the go!

Thank goodness for BYC! Enjoy your birds when you get them.

Welcome!! I'm a newbie, too!! My husband did a lot of research, and this is a great place to get it. Hope you don't have to wait too long for some chickens, I hate that part!!

Yeah, I spotted some pullets on my local craigslist and just started corresponding with the seller, lets see how good my willpower is (or how fast my research skills are). I want rainbow colored eggs and she has a buff orp (6 months) and easter egger (6 months) for $5 each and bantam barnvelders for $10 each that are already laying. I have my coop design picked out (mother earth news mini coop and run made from a dog house and wire mesh) and am picking up some of the materials (the doghouse, found on craigslist) on the way home today.
