New Here, Florida Peeps

[Crystal River]

Saying hi to the BYC forum members and FL folk in particular. Yep, I'm in Crystal River. Not new to chicken-keeping in general, but that was before moving this far South. Have nearly finished building a super well ventilated coop and am looking forward to fresh eggs again. Hope to find a couple of nice SL Wyandottes here in FL (if anyone knows where to point me, it would be appreciated).

Welcome to BYC Crystal River. Someone (sorry I don't know who it is) posts about a market in Dunnellon they hold once a month. That's not too far from you. I've even thought about making the drive from Tampa someday.

Not sure she's still doing the posts, but @cmom I believe is who used to notify folks on the FL thread about the Dunnellon markets.
