Hi from NE Florida! We are on our way to raising chickens. Hubby drew up the plans for a coop and bought the needed materials today. He was going to work on building it but the heat is oppressive right now. We are still researching what breeds we want. I would like 1 or 2 that lay the colorful eggs but we will see. We will probably start out with 6-8 and then decide from there.
We are a homeschooling family of 7, 5 daughters ages 16-6, and built a house on 5 acres of land a year ago. One of our goals in moving here was to get chickens so we can have fresh eggs. We would also like to sell them to friends. We also have about 3.5 acres of wild blackberries that we are trying to start a business with. The drought this year didn't make for a very long picking season. The only other animals we have right now is a 9 y.o. beagle and 16 y.o. cat. Rabbits and maybe goats will be added down the road. Found this site through research on the internet so I look forward to learning all I can from here.
