Sorry about your accident and glad you and your husband are alive. Prayed for quick and complete healing of all broken parts!

Welcome! I lived in Joshua for 7 years until retiring in December 2013. I didn't have chickens there though. I see a few on here from Burleson and Grandview, probably some from Joshua too. Great place to get chicken questions answered, and just lots of nice people!

I hope that works for you and you can keep your girls. I love living in the country - I'd rather have a neighbor who lives in a 20 year old camper than have an HOA.... Oh wait, we ARE the neighbor who lives in the camper... :)

Congrats! You scored big! I never find deals like that!

. That sounds "rodentish" to me, except would have to be awfully big to knock it down. I hope it was a duck flying up there!

So, after 22 hours with the rooster up the tree, I googled how to get rooster out of tree. Answer was to get water hose and spray him until he flaps down. It worked. Then we caught him and put him with the girls. He strutted, ate, drank, and mated with two of the girls. Then this time at dusk...

Welcome! Hope you discover how to save your chicks!

So we first time chicken farmers get our cute little chicks, raise them in a brooder box, teach them where to roost, and everything is nice and orderly. I never thought about what would happen when bringing a mature free range rooster into the mix. He started out by jumping out of his run into...

L Lisa of the Fresh Eggs Daily blog uses ACV in water, fresh minced garlic and food grade DE in feed. I read another blog post of a lady who mixes 2% DE on one day's feed once every 2 months and never has worms. Both did not give up the eggs during/after. I'm going that route with mine.

Thank you. I ended up having a friend who had a beautiful barnyard mix one year old I'm going to try out with my girls.

Does anyone have a large breed rooster for sale? I need one, I'd love a Cochin, but any nice colored one would be good. I live near Texarkana, but am driving thru Dallas, Ft Worth. Waco and to Katy this weekend, so would be willing to shop for a rooster en route. Anyone? Thanks!

How old was he when you knew he was a Roo? I am afraid all 4 of mine will end up being Roos!

[/IMG] My 5 week old silkies at that awkward stage!

Can't wait for the pictures!

O What kind of chicks do you raise? I started out wanting 12 red stars for eggs, ordered those and six black stars that are coming May 19. In the meantime I have bought six red sex links and 4 silkie chicks from tractor supply. Planning my second coop now.....

Welcome to the place where you can be encouraged to get more and more chicks! Is robert lee a place in texas?

So sorry you lost three of your littles. I wanted to free range but am afraid to.

Harley, you absolutely are the winner, top of the class, straight A student, Honor Society, in Chicken Math! This is awesome. Look forward to seeing how your chicken venture plays out. I, too, would love to see chickens supplement my income more than just egg money! Congrats!

Hoping someone can help with a couple of questions. My 7 week old gals love going outside in the pen; however, they don't stay there long. When I go back inside, they go back in the coop. then if I come back outside, they run outside like they've been waiting. Is this just because they are...

I am so sorry you have to go through this waiting for confirmation one way or another. Praying for you and your DF
