Hi hi from Central Florida!
I am a newbie chicken owner that has been helping taking care of a family member's chickens from time to time for about a year now and just recently started owning my own flock about a few months ago. I was gifted a Golden Sebright Bantam rooster from a neighbor who wasn't able to take care of him. One turned to three after getting two Spangled Old English Bantams when I got worried he was feeling lonely in his former bachelor pen. Then chicken math got to me when I took a visit to Rural King for feed and came back with 4 more bantam chicks so now I have an official bantam flock of 7
I joined this forum as while I have read some literature and did research, I know how important it is to learn from experienced chicken owners as well! Especially as I'm looking to upgrade their current pen and convert a plastic playhouse into a coop before the 4 chicks are fully feathered and big enough to be let outside.
Here are some pics of the Bug flock!
From left to right: Roach (Golden Sebright Bantam), Flea and Tick (Spangled Old English Bantams pullets), and the little stinkbugs (unknown breeds and will receive names once I learn their personalities more)
