I am a backyard chicken raiser in North Central Texas. I know very little about chickens, but I do enjoy them. I'm not new to them, but just don't know much about them. I have 5 laying hens; 2 black sex links, 1 welsummer, 1 production red, and one leghorn. I just hatched out 8 assorted and 8 production reds. And, oh, I have 3 what I think are buff old english bantam hens and one rooster. I probably won't be on a lot, but I do hope you'll be there for me when I have questions. Thank you and have a great day.

Hey , I am new to this site. I am not even sure how to use it. I got 6 free chicks from Southern States. I have no idea if they are male or female. It has been fun. They are brooding in a horse 75 gallon water trough, baby chick feed on the floor, waterer and feeder, and red heat lamp. I am so glad now that it is warm. Can put them outside in puppy play yard with wire screen on top. They are 5 weeks old now. Getting their feathers and trying to fly all the time. Have a couple of foxes on my property and keeps me very wary. So far so good. Trying to decide now on the best chicken coop....
