Chickens in Austin

[RxR]

I'm a novice of ~3 years with flock of 4-5 depending of RI Red basic stock hybrid. They live on site and get roaming time in addition to time in their own yard outside their coop. I feed Coyote Creek organic layer, and they seem to like it and respond in kind--eggs most days.

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)

Welcome to BYc! I only lived in Austin for a couple of years of my life. I can only imagine you must live near Onion Creek as there are very few rural spots left in that town.

Best of luck integrating into our flock here at BYC but it is easy to do!
