Hi from southwest Florida

Hi, 4 weeks new to chickens and loving the experience so far. I can sit and watch for hours. I'm not sure what kinds of chicks I have yet but after lurking here for a bit, I've figured out that 4 are the Cornish X's.

They are the sweetest birds I have, I love how they come running when they hear my voice already! I know that they're looking for food, water or treats but still....

4 are RIR's and the others, well, just not sure yet. I also have 8 bantams, 2 I believe are black silkies, 4 are grey? 1's just black and 1 looks like a chipmunk.

Not yet on the mangoes but we just moved onto our property less than a year ago so we aren't done planting. It was just vacant land, the only good things growing here was the bamboo and oaks. We've got a little garden going now and soon, (I hope) we'll start planting some of the bigger trees and landscaping.
