Hello from Austin, TX

[Miklen]

My husband and I live just outside the city of Austin (SW of it), and we just got our first chickens a couple of weeks ago.

I've been stalking the forums for a while, but decided to finally make a profile.

Neither of us has ever owned chickens before, but we're the new parents of 35 new babies in a fairly large assortment of different breeds. So far all is going well, and everyone seems healthy and active. We still just need to figure out the breeds on a few of them. =)

Looking forward to contributing more,
-Helen

Congrats on the new babies! When they get a bit older, you can post their pics in our What Gender section here on BYC for some good ID-ing.

Welcome aboard and enjoy your new flock!

Hello and welcome to BYC from the SE side of Austin

I grew up on the SW side. I can't believe how it has grown. Good luck with your flock. My husband and I are just getting started also
