Hello! I am in TX, and recently bought my first amount of chickens. I started with cornish hens, because that is what was available. I went from buying 9, through a mistake(bought cedar chips) lost 3 chicks, and now have 6 cornish and last week had my gf buy 8 bantam chicks putting us at 14 chickens. After they all survived for a week, we ordered 30 more chicken, 10 green eggers (cause green eggs), 10 assorted pack, and 10 sapphire something chicken(my gf pick), they all are decent producers of eggs, so we are excited to get started.... once they are all at egg laying age of course.
