Happy Friday to all my feathered-friend lovers! Due to some unforseen medical problems and required surgeries, we are having to drastically cut down our existing flock. We are having to sell some GORGEOUS birds for almost nothing due to these circumstances. But, most importantly I want them to...
For our farm, we have found that cochins work great for keeping bugs in check and they lay fairly well too. We also have guineas ~ but indeed they are LOUD! Great for bugs and ticks, but we couldn't have them if we had neighbors. You might give the cochins a try ~ you will love their...
Hello.........I have doves also. I have my doves in a coop that is approximately 8 X 10. It is natural for them to look for food/water at ground level ~ therefore, I provide their water in a bird bath that is 2' tall. They seem to love it. They are famous for not only drinking out of it...
The turkeys look great, TJ. Glad they adapted so well to you place. THANKS for the kind words..........I do my best.
Have a great weekend, and I don't know about you; but it is TGIF around here for me. :o We have the DeLeon Peach & Melon Festival Tractor Pulls this weekend. They are...
countrygirl ~ I really appreciate your help. I am off to research the link you provided.
mdbucks ~ great pic! Love the idea of a smaller dog being ok with the birds. You are so right about the dog being with you for life. I can't imagine my two tiny-toy poodles NOT being with me for that...
Thank you so much for the info and link. Yes, San Marcos is quite a drive for me - - - I would love to join the group to at least chat and meet new chicken folks..........even if I can't make the meetings. I appreciate your help!
Hi sara, yes I should. Although, things do change around here almost as often as the wind blows. I ask 10.00/adults; 5.00/juvies & 1.50/egg. - - - keep me in mind when you get ready and email me.
CoyoteMagic ~ I'm beginning to think that you are right. It might be luck of the draw. :o Being as my luck is NOT the best..........hmmmmmmmm. Thank you for your input, I really to appreciate it.
Mac ~ I have been looking at breeds for the past 5 months and yes, you are right about the...
countrygirl ~ the Great Pyrenees are beautiful. Are they a social breed? I am an avid animal lover and want something that is loving, kind, calm, and social. If so, do you recommend any certain Texas breeder? Thanks so much for your input!
Backyardfarmer ~ I have ALL ages of chickens...
TJ ~ thanks for the DG link. I am going to check into that today. Yes, we will need to meet up again sometime.....that little Jordyn is a doll. Hope all is well with the new little one, and I'm thrilled to hear that the birds are doing so well. Take care & we'll chat soon!
I need help, guys! :o I want to get a dog that can happily live with and around my chickens. All of my birds have their own coops, yards, and pens - - - but I want to add a dog to the mix. I would like to have a little companion that would NOT eat my birds!
Can anyone recommend a breed...
I am a BYC newbie and was wondering if any of you fellow Texans are close by? We live in between Edna Hill & Carlton which is about 100 miles SW of FW/Dallas. Any other BYC'ers live nearby in the "sticks" as my girls used to say? Email me anytime at [email protected] or leave me a...
Thanks SO much for the information! That sounds like something I would love to be a part of. I would love to bring about 60 birds of various breeds. I will definitely put that date on my calendar!
I wanted to thank TJ for meeting me on Saturday! I really enjoyed our visit and your...
Howdy and TGIF!!!!! So sorry to just now reply to the post I made.......I have been super busy outside gathering birds and eggs for everyone. Whew......and it is HOT! :o

Here is what I have for now:
