Hi,
Just joined...running a small homestead in the Florida panhandle.
Added chickens about 3 years ago, started with 4 hens....numbers have fluctuated through the years.
A few sicknesses, a vulture attack, and a fox attack through the last few years...currently have about 7 hens and 2 roosters but will be adding many more.
Upgraded and upsized the coop about two years ago, currently converting a shed to a full blown coop to reclaim some garden space.
I don't know much about chickens and my wife does most of the work, I mostly enjoy eating the eggs every day, but I am hoping to learn and contribute more to family farm.
We have orpingtons, copper marans, olive eggers, and a few that lay blue eggs that I am not sure the breed.
Other hobbies include music, martial arts, working out, and marksmanship....
Thanks
