Hi! I'm Tifani. I live in West Central Florida. This will be my first backyard flock. my 2 girls ( Lily 11 and Violet 7 ) and I are very excited. I've been reading advice here in preparation and decided it was time to stop lurking
Very nice to meet you Tifani, so glad you joined us at Backyard chickens. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
Be sure and drop in on the FL state thread, lots of great, helpful members! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/305793/florida-always-sunny-side-up Good luck with your new flock and thanks for joining us!
G’Day from down under Tifani Welcome! If you have not already checked it out, I recommend a visit to the Learning Centre; lots of good tips there: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center Best wishes to you and your flock. I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
That's the way to do it. Research before getting them! Welcome and I'm sure you'll find chickens very rewarding. Do you know what kinds or how many you'll get?
We picked up our flock on Friday, it's kind of a mixed bag. At the suggestion of a girlfriend and expert backyard chicken keeper I leg everyone get what they wanted so we would have a diverse flock. So we have; 2 Easter Eggers, 1, Black Australorp, 1 RIR, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Light Brahma, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Buff Orpington We intended on only 6 birds but, chicken math. Luckily it will be very warm here soon and I can move them from the brooder into the brand new, empty, coop before the brooder is too crowded My son is home from college this week on Spring Break and somehow convinced his friends that building a chicken coop will be fun So tomorrow is the big build.
