New to Waxahachie, Tx

[Jack-n-Kristen]

Hello neighbors,

We just purchased a home in Waxahachie and we plan to start a modest homestead on the one acre of land. We want to include raising chickens for eggs and would appreciate any advice you may have for us.

God bless y’all!
Jack and Kristen

Welcome to BYC, Jack & Kristen. We're having a brutal summer here, so my advice is to stick with heat hardy breeds.
Ideal poultry in Cameron TX has a nice selection of egg layers.
