thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
I grew up on a farm in NW arkansas....a long time ago.
back then the chickens and cows were CHORES...its so much more fun
now doing it as a hobby!!!!
thanks again!
We bought a rural place (3 acres) near Josephine Texas in october of last year.
got 10 baby chicks in that first week and raised them up from about 4 days old.
We got the perfect set, 9 hens and 1 rooster, I picked a mix of buff orpingtons, jersey giants and cucka marans.
Home made a tractor...
