Newbie from Texas

[kimh278]

Hello everyone. I am a newbie and live in Northeast Texas in a little town called Paris. This is my first time to raise chickens and so far everything has been going pretty good. I have 4 chickens and they are about 16 weeks old now. My only problem is that I think 3 of the 4 are going to turn out to be roosters! Just my luck. Oh well, live and learn.

Welcome I am pretty new to this all too. Yes, I would say at least Lucy and Laverne are definitely roosters. On the bright side you'll have some meat birds maybe if that's what you choose to do with them!!

may want to rename shirley to stanley. lucy to larry and laverne can be used for both men and women. looks like you have plenty of boar power for Ethel.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Looks like you did wind up with some handsome roos. You might want to check out / post in your state thread, maybe someone close to you has some pullets about Ethel's age available or is looking for a roo https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/44/texas
