I live in south tx and raised around chickens all my life as a kid.had not even seen a chicken in the last 15 yrs.but started tryn to findsome bantams.well as I was heading homeI spotted a man selling chickenshe had several pairs of bantams. I bought a pair and texting my wife that I had a surprise. Well she was not too happy with the surprisebut I got to keep the chickens. I started off with a small coop just for the time being. The hen finally started laying 2 weeks ago but while I was at work we had a bad wind storm and eat coop and my sons trampoline blue to pieces
