Hi

I am just fantasizing about a few back yard chickens, for now.

This seems like a fine place to start. I am happy Google brought me here.

It is a beautiful October morning here in north Texas.

Top of the mornin' to all!

Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

And you really should get a few chicks.... Stop dreaming and start doing! I doubt you'll ever regret it.

You know, if you really want an objective opinion, this is the wrong place to come! We are huge advocates of "chicken math" (you know-start out with 4 chicks, but two turn into roosters, so you need to get 4 more to replace them. Then you decide it would be nice to have a broody, so you get 3 Silkies. Then you see a couple more kinds you would like, and all 3 Silkies are broody, so they each get 5-6 eggs which all hatch. See where this is going?)!
