Hi! My name is Denise. I live in rural east Texas, and I have had chickens for 10 days now. We ordered 17 chicks from a hatchery (16 different breeds**) and received them on May 25, 2022.
My husband is 98% finished building his own DIY version of a Carolina Coops 6’ x 8’ American hen house. He’ll immediately start building the attached covered run next.
I found this site in my research to see if it would be ok to transition my chicks to the hen house right away, and I thought I should join as I’m sure this won’t be my last quest for information on my chicken journey.
I’m a stay-at-home mom with a beautiful 3-year-old daughter and a wonderful, overworked husband. I enjoy quilting and crocheting amigurumi, and I love playing Euro-style board games. We have two aging small dogs and two fish tanks. If my hubby doesn’t quit the Sunshine Work Program after this chicken coop, I’m hoping he’ll build a goat barn and fence off some pasture next.
**Breeds: Silver Laced Wyandotte, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Cream Legbar, Light Brown Leghorn, Golden Cuckoo Marans, Black Copper Marans, Speckled Sussex, Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock, White Crested Black Polish, Double-Laced Barnevelder, Welsummer, Olive Egger, Partridge Cochin, Frizzle Easter Egger (2 of these, but only one seems to be frizzled), Mottled Cochin Bantam, Mille Fleur d’Uccle Bantam.
