New Flock in South Texas

[Anorthosite]

1. Hi! I am a new to keeping chickens, as of March we purchased 7 laying hens and 2 meat birds. All have survived and two turned out to be roosters. I have one black Australorp and two each of: American bresse, French BCM, RIR, and white leghorn. The roosters are a bresse and a BCM.
   
   They're free range in our backyard in town. So far, no need to clip wings. Our big decision will be which rooster to keep, as we can only have one.
2. We're trying to raise our boys as good stewards that know where their food comes from and how to care for animals.

Well that's at least 3 from Texas today that I've talked to! Woohoo!! Excellent way to teach kids responsibility, where food comes from, the circle of life and death, kindness, compassion and that animals, just like babies, rely on us to feed, water and love. Welcome, welcome

Welcome to BYC, so glad you've joined us! As @Leighe said, this is an excellent venture for a family to embark on together with many wonderful lessons to be learned along the way.
