Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found this site! I've been wanting to keep chickens since I was 10 (21 now) and have finally convinced my mom to be okay with it. Made a deal, find a home for a stray I'm caring for and can get chickens, but I have to build the coop.
I'm hoping to get an EE and a wyandotte or orpington. For now it'll just be two, but I'm planning on eventually having 4-6.
I've spent the last few weeks obsessively reading both this forum and a few books I have on self-sufficancy/backyard homesteading, so I think I'm ready, but still won't be getting any until August.
Quick bio:
21
genderqueer so please they/them pronouns
Orlando, Fl
Student, artist and 'professional activist' (which is just a nice way of saying I argue with cops a lot and do a lot of protesting and community outreach and don't have a 'real job')
have two dogs (+foster) two cats, and a ferret
one dog is my service dog
Hope to join the Army in a year or two. I'm aiming for 68W but gotta get my weight and run time down just a bit more and get home stuff stable.
