Sorry but I still feel giddy, the only other celebrity I ran into was "Morris the Cat," and he was not friendly.

Hello!!!
Welcome to the BYC family!
Glad you decided to join, plan, build & then get your birds & make the rest of us look bad...
If your in Wichita Falls area, you'd better prepare for coyotes. We lost one of our toy poodles to one when I was kid, not to mention chickens snatched up by them or hawks, etc. So coop security needs to be #1.
Feel free to include photos of your build along the way.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Definitely do some reading in our learning center for all kinds of articles on all the aspects of keeping poultry... https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

And if you still have questions about things, feel free to ask around the forums. Welcome to our roost!

Hello, Snake, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Have you looked through the coop pages yet? You'll find a lot of great ideas there. Good luck with your build.

I highly recommend White Rocks in your flock. They are dual purpose. They will lay a lot of eggs, and make you drool as their big butts walk by.
I also recommend goats and turkeys. Nothing tastes better than fresh turkey for Thanksgiving! The boys can even walk the turkeys (and goats of course) on a leash!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! If you think you want 15-20 chickens, build a coop big enough for 30.
