Hi, everyone,
I found this site while looking for information about where to buy laying hens. I don't know anything about this topic, but I am considering getting at least two of them to start producing my own eggs to our family consumption and therefore fight the what is happening now with the high prices of eggs. I am in South Florida, close to Miami, and haven't found much info in where to find places to buy laying eggs. A lot of the info is to buy them online, but I want to use the old school method to physically go to the store, see the animals and maybe talk to people there that can help me with my decision.

So I think that I found this site, that could help me in my search. Thanks in advance and God bless us all!

Welcome to BYC. Try posting this in the Florida state thread - perhaps you can locate some birds locally. 3 is better than 2 - that way when one dies, two remain as company for one another.

Hello, and welcome! Good luck in finding your future laying hen's! Do you have a coop for them to live in yet?

Thanks for welcoming me here. And thanks for the info, but if you can help me finding that FL thread, I'll appreciate it very much. I searched the site and couldn't find it. God bless!

Welcome and God Bless you on your adventure. Having chickens has been a "better than I thought it would be " endeavour. Is there a tractor supply on outskitrrts or close small town?
