Hello All. My family started with this chicken business like many people did at the onset of Covid with the āpanic pulletsā
. Fortunately we had the location and opportunity with remote work/school situations to dedicate our time to raising a flock of eight chicks as well as building a safe coop and run for them in our backyard (with the help of every YouTube homestead channel and backyard Chicken channel 
). Our four Golden Comets, two Cuckoo Marans, Sebright Bantam and Silkie gave us over two years of entertainment, companionship and dozens upon dozens of fresh eggs
. When we made the decision to relocate to Florida, it was not possible to take our girls with us, but were fortunate to find wonderful neighbors to adopt them all and they are still thriving to this day. Now weāve been in Florida for 8 months and we havenāt stopped talking about how much we miss our chickens
. Obviously, eggs are not only ridiculously expensive, but not even the cage free eggs from the store come close to those from the ones laid in your own backyard! And I miss the sound of that egg song every morning! Or just taking a glass of wine out to the run and watching them do their thing
. Soooā¦I talked hubby into starting a Florida flock, since we have tons of spaceā¦and now we have 13 chicks in brooders in our garage! Two Light Brahmas, Four Easter Eggers, a Black Australorp, a RIR, a Gold Laced Wyandotte, a Buff and a Lavender Orpington and a buff and a blue Silkie we are building them a little chicken village in our backyard and Iām super excited to be a Chicken Mama again
