I am in Willis, Texas. I have a husband and 3 sons, who I homeschool. Yes I homeschool my husband too, someone has to train him. Just kidding, he is perfection and can do anything and build anything he sees. We have 8 chicks, parakeets, a leopard gecko, a Yorkie who thinks she is human and a Great Pyrenees who thinks she's a Yorkie.
I think one of the chicks is a rooster, it comb is twice the size of the rest but what do I know. We are on about 3 acres so the chickens will be mostly free range but we will still have a coop for at night. There are a lot of nasty bobcats and raccoons and snakes and anything else you can imagine to come attack my sweet baby girls (and pos. boy). I am completely new to having chickens. I visited my grandparents who had them and helped out as a kid and loved it. So I hope to give that to my kids.
I cant wait to learn from everyone here cuz this is all new to me. Any first time advice would be great.

Anywho, we will be over 100 birds in May (~80 right now) that we raise for eggs & meat. Would be happy to help you out with whatever you need
