fellow keys person! 
Welcome to BYC! Love your introduction and pictures!Hi, just joined a few days ago and skipped this step, but I suppose I should say hello. I am used to chickens that roam free, and roost in your yard, are in the street, on the sidewalks, etc. There were chickens (red junglefowl mainly w/ some crosses, all different color combos) all over the streets of my hometown, Key West. I recently bought a house in rural western N.C., south of Fontana Dam, and after almost a year here would like some pets. I don't have any dogs, cats, kids, or anything around the property except my wild birds I feed. Am expecting white polish, silver laced polish, wcb polish, white silkies, and assorted frizzle cochin. The chickens I'm used to in Key West run around outside their first day born, but are wild, so I am heavily preparing and researching (very excited) about the breeds I got. I'm a newb to these breeds, but no newb to being around chickens. Posting some of my kw photos. These birds I am getting will be my pets, though I may try to sell some roosters to good homes or give to neighbors if I get too many (only straight runs were available). I love any animal in my care, but not into extreme chicken snobbery, like hardcore purists, or extremism of any kind. I joined because most questions I googled ended up at this site, and seems can share questions, excitement, etc, with other happy chx owners. I am counting the minutes till my babies arrive.
