In the Brooder

Morning! I live in Katy, Texas and I am new to the chicken world. So far I am obsessed! I absolutely adore my baby chicks. I think my kids are actually getting a bit jealous! HA I have 5, 5 week old chicks. Their names are Lola, Hey Hey, Dixie, Dolly, and Felicity. They are terrified of us. I can't put my hand in the brooder without having them go crazy. It's a little sad.

The exciting news is we are moving to a farm! YES! My chickens are going to be so happy. There is an awesome coop on the property and I am hoping to purchase a few Silkies for fun. I think my kids would really love those fluffy butts. My horse, Otis, will be eventually living on the property. I can't wait to have him so close. I think we will purchase a few Dwarf Goats and maybe some peacocks for patrol. I'm excited for the future and this website!

I am very thankful to have found it while searching for answers. There is a plethora of knowledge on this site. It's fabulous! SO, I look forward to hearing from you and experiencing life with chickens. So far it's awesome!

Welcome!! I am not too far from you(Sugarland area)
I noticed my chicks go through a phases like children.
Also if you are the same level they tend to not be as frightened. (Big scary hand reaching down to snatch them and eat them)
FYI, they will become your best friend with mealworms, or some kind of treat!! I noticed my like the live vs the freeze dried!!
If you don't have mealworms, grab some of the junebugs that seem to be in abundance this year and try that.
Again welcome to BYC
