My daughters and I bought and moved to two acres in a small country town not too far from Dallas.
One day while perusing one of the local flea markets we saw some chickens and my youngest said she wanted some chickens.
We went home and went online and ordered some day old chicks from a local Hatchery (Ideal). The chicks were sent to our post office and all were alive and well and in good order. They grew and grew and are now 41/2 months old. I also went to our local feed store and bought an incubator, thinking that I would hatch some of the eggs our girls were going to have. We hatched a few quail eggs to break it in and it works well.
I only have one problem My chickens haven't laid egg one, yet but I constantly have to talk myself out of getting some eggs to put in the incubator .............How do you keep from having way too many chickens?
 
you can never have to many eggs or chickens lol.

Welcome! I'm an urban outlaw with 8 hens. I'm only supposed to have two. (o;}

I got my hens as week old chicks from Ideal. I got them two days before Christmas, so they may be from the same batch. I have no eggs from them yet, but I'm expecting them any day. Since I lost one chick, I bought a black Game Hen to save her from a 2 x 2 cage she shared with a mean lookin roo. I get eggs 5 out of seven days from her. I really just got her hoping she would show the other girls how to lay.

Don't get too many chickens now, I may need you to hide a few if the city catches up with me. No, really I don't think anyone is going to complain.

Enjoy your time here, but be carefull! The inablers are everywhere and they use chick pictures for propaganda. If you go to their side, you'll be wrapping your lives up in poultry. Uhh! They may have me because that doesn't sound bad.

Check out my sites for some fun!
