I am new to owning Chickens, my husband is not. I have wanted chickens for a very long time, so i am really excited that today is finally here. I live in East Texas and will be getting 3 Silver laced Wynodettes and 3 Rhode Island Reds today. My Dominiques will be in on Thursday and i plan on getting 3 of the Black Australops also. So 1 dozen to start with. Once we get the Coop built, i will decide on a Rooster. I am sure i will have tons of questions.

Thanks in Advance for your help.
 
Welcome to BYC!
Time to get started oon that coop, chicks grow fast and will be ready to be put of the brooder in just a few short weeks. Give yourself time on the rooster.....learn flock dynamics and management. When you do get a roo get a mature bird 18 months or older

Welcome to BYC from another Texan! Adding a rooster later and developmentally younger to your flock is a great idea as he needs to be subordinate initially to learn his lady manners. I made the mistake of trying them in one go and they subordinated and hen pecked our hens starting at the 2 month mark. The worst 2 were removed by 3 months with us and the last three at 5ish months. Best of luck! I'm sure one of our greeters will be shooting you the link to our state thread so stop by and say howdy there when you find the time. :frow
 
Ummm, well..I started last December with 4 Svart Honas. I am up to 14 chickens----....5 svart honas plus an EEger, a blue copper marans, 2 malaysian seramas, a silver laced orpington, 2 blue laced red wyandottes, a double silver laced barnevelder and a lavender orpington. Not bad for just over a year, I'd say. LOL You will have a blast and learn a ton.
