Thank you for all the welcomes and thank you for the link, Michael OShay! I'm scouring through the articles now. I just got back from the Texas State Fair and caught the chickens right as they were taking them away.
Hello ButtaCup! The educational aspect is a good point. My niece goes to Grand Prairie school district and her elementary school has chickens! They hatch and raise them and their last batch of chicks was 12.
Howdy! I'm currently in Lewisville but I'm moving to Grand Prairie, TX in a month. My dad kept backyard chickens when I was growing up but all I remember is getting to play with baby chicks and my mom collecting eggs. I don't remember ever eating them though. Well, the chicken bug has bit me...
Thank you for the welcomes! I'm all caught up now. Beautiful birds! I would love a tiny backyard flock. But I live in an HOA so I'll just keep dreaming, haha. My dad keeps telling me to just get them and he'll help me raise them - he raised backyard chickens when I was growing up. Anyway, please...
Hello! I'm new here and making my way through this monster of a thread. They're all so pretty! I figured since I'm rummaging through all of your posts, I'd at least say hi.
