Hello everyone. I'm Ossie from Texas, around the Austin area. My family and I are planning on keeping chickens and I was assigned to researching them and figuring out all we need to know about them to be successful in our efforts which I'm actually pretty excited about. If anyone has some must-read or even just possibly helpful info for me to use that would be fantastic! I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions so everything will help.
