    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    Thanks for telling me- that is good to know! I will try to make it tonight. It's hard to know if we can make it for sure because we have a 15 month old toddler that is a wild card when it comes to behavior (especially later in the day!), but I will try to represent for my girls!

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    Ah! I just came across this thread and live in Cedar Park, too. I just learned this morning that chickens aren't legal- I was so surprised because so many people in our neighborhood DO have them! How disappointing. We don't let ours free range much at all because we have neighbors with dogs that...

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    (I tried posting this before, I don't know why it isn't showing what I wrote!) Just an update. The chickens are all about 23 weeks old. Both the Barred Rocks haven't started to lay yet, but I am hopeful they will soon. "Emily" is looking really close to it. Her comb and wattles look a much...

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    Just an update. The chickens are all about 23 weeks old. Both the Barred Rocks haven't started to lay yet, but I am hopeful they will soon. "Emily" is looking really close to it. Her comb and wattles look a much deeper red in person; I think they look a little washed out on the computer. I...

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    After doing some research on Barred Rock chicks, I think you and Donrae are correct! There are so many differences in Ameraucanas and I am such a newbie, I couldn't tell. :) Thanks for your input!!!

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    Hmm... Well, we originally wanted two barred rocks and two ameraucanas, but when we went to pick up the chicks, the guy said he was pretty sure he didn't have any more barred rocks. Since the two dark girls looked so similar and the other two so different as chicks (the guy said he would get us...

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    Thanks, that's what I thought too. :) But my husband and then my mother (who has even less chicken experience than me!) were looking at pictures of them today and were saying they looked like they might be roos, so I doubted myself.

    Ameraucana and Rocks -- Gender? Help!

    We got our chicks about 4 weeks ago, and they were all supposed to be pullets. But we are first timers and don't have a lot of experience with this and are trying to see if there are any signs showing if they are pullets or roosters. Both of our Ameraucanas look like this: The comb is...

    Hello! Looking into starting to raise chickens!

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I also appreciate the suggestions. We definitely have HOT summers here, so any tips on birds who do well in the warmer weather with minimal winters is great, too! It's hard to find information on it and how the different breeds would do interacting with...

    Hello! Looking into starting to raise chickens!

    Hi everyone! We're in Central Texas, but did not originally come from this great state. My husband and I are interested in getting some chickens for our back yard. We found a nice coop we like for a good price, and are now trying to find out more about the breeds--really, just for eggs and...
