Hello from Texas!

[Mrsbmasters]

Hello from Texas! I am located southwest of San Antonio. I have three babies (ages 7, 4, 1) and 5 dogs (Great Dane, Weimaraner, Lab/Beagle Mix, Blue Pitbull, Chiweenie). I work full time as a Supply Chain Manager and I also work part time for the Texas Air National Guard. I've always wanted chickens so when my husband and I got to our final duty station (both Air Force), we started looking for property. We found five acres at the end of a dirt road that was perfect! Now I get to be like Belle (Beauty and the Beast reference) and sing to my chickens while I feed them!

Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am so new to this whole process! We got chicks in March from a breeder and Tractor Supply
