Hi, my name is Elise. My husband, two children, and I live in an East Dallas, TX neighborhood called Lake Highlands. This is located inside "the loop" and it doesn't really get more urban unless you actually live in downtown Dallas. We have a large backyard for a city house, and last week, we got 4 chicks: 1 Silver Wyandotte, 1 Black Cochin, 1 Bantam Buff Orpington (all are now 2 wks old), and 1 Buff Orpington (now 3 wks old). Then, yesterday, because I couldn't help myself, I got two Lavender Ameracaunas, which were 3 days old. All were purchased from Gecko Hardware here in Lake Highlands. I have to say, I love my new chicks so much! I can't believe I waited this long to have backyard chickens! Love this site, such good info.
