Hello from Texas

[gmyers]

I'm new to raising chickens, have my first one coming in on the 31st of Oct. I'm ready and think I will really enjoy raising them.

Greetings from Kansas, gmyers, and

! Getting chickens on Halloween, huh? I'm sure it will be a treat and not a trick for you. Best wishes to you and your birds!!

 

[gmyers]

Yes it will be a treat for me. I'm so excited and hope they do well. I ordered them from Ideal.

Also from Texas (DFW). Got my first batch of Light Brahmas in July, so I know how you feel. I worried over them like any good "mother hen", and now that they are well established, I spend time with them each evening after work (before it gets dark), and get a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment from watching them. They have come to expect me to have something for them, so they gather around and when I sit down, some will climb up into my lap, checking to see what I may have in my hands to eat. The personalities are coming out now. Small flock of only 9 birds. Lost a couple early on, but all are happy and healthy now. Good luck and ENJOY !
