Hello, I’m new to the backyard chicken thing, (had them as a kid) and wanting to know more about any happenings in my area. Actually on the far west side in the Katy area. Just looking for anyone that is active in the area and would like to discuss chickens,etc. or that knows of any groups that meet or good places to shop. I had an aviary that I tore down, and am now looking at building a coop. Have a great yard that has 8 to 10 foot walls on 3 sides and my house & garage cover the 4th. Last year (actually I think it’s been festering for awhile) my backyard was decimated by lawn moths. I thought, gee, if I’d had chickens, those little suckers wouldn’t have proliferated so well. So, since I’ve been mulling this over for several seasons now, this is the one I’m going to do it. Oh, and I’m just looking for egg chickens. Kinda tame ones, not too skittish. I have a dog and she is friendly to everything so I don’t want chickens that are going to be afraid of people or anything else. No predators to worry about. Been watching videos and reading about different breeds on here to get some ideas.
