Hello from South Florida

[MargeA]

Hi, I just signed up. I don't have any chickens yet. I have an aviary that I built years ago that I want to convert into a chicken run. I'm not sure what kind of coop or nests I need to build inside the aviary. I'm also not sure where to get chickens around here. I certainly can't have a rooster because I live in a residential area and I don't think my neighbors would appreciate it. I would love any and all advice!

Thanks,

Marge
