Hi Folks,
My name is Christian Cabal, We are a family of 6. 4 young kids and my wife Deanna.
We just started with chickens this summer. Got them as chicks in late May. They are growing up, at the late teenage stage I think.
Garland only allows 4 hens. When I got the chicks, I forgot what all the kinds I got! I know I have 1 Americauna, and 1 black-sex-link, but the other 2 I totally forgot.
Their names are
1. Stinkerpot (Americauna)- named because as a chick she always made a mess in the cage, with the food and water.
2. Goldie - (she was first a yellow fluff-ball, now is a reddish hen.
3. Black beauty - the black sex-link
4. Angel - a white chicken, not sure what breed
I have a couple newbie questions -
1. Its hot in Texas! My chickens are almost always panting. Is that something I should be worried about?
2. Mosquitos.-- do they bother chickens? I know when I am outside in the evening they eat me up. I feel sorry for the chickens. Can they get West-Nile or something from the mosquitos?
BTW I also love gardening. Check out my blog:
