Hi All! I am new to BYC and chicken keeping. I have been reading and researching on BYC for about a year but I just became a member.

I am located Southwest Austin, Texas. We are super excited to be finally be starting our flock. After much research we will be starting 19 chicks:
4 Gold Sex Links Pullets
4 EE / Americaunas Pullets
4 Buff Orpingtons Pullets
6 Welsummer Pullets
1 Welsummer Cockerel
We hope to add a Brabanters and/or Hollands and Ancona ducks in the future.

My other interested include Quilting, Knitting, Beekeeping, Gardening and Canning, Anything Craft Related, and RVing.
My current herd includes my husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 pet crawfish. My future herd includes all of the before mentioned and bees, goats, ducks, a cow… well, you get the point. It’s a 5 year plan!

Howdy and welcome to BYC! If you're into canning there's several canning threads, and the BYC Gardening Thread is always a hoot.

Hey, I'm new here and new to chickens. It was suggested that I check out this thread in the new members section. My fiancé and I live in Temple, TX (between Austin and Waco). We have our first little flock that includes a Red hen (not sure if Production or Rhode Island), a Black Australorpe pullet, a Barred rock pullet, and a Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet. We also have a Chihuahua, Basset Hound and German Shepherd mix. I'm excited about this new adventure and can't wait to get many more chickens in the future.

Hello from Liberty Hill.

Welcome to chicken addiction.

That is no joke! Went today for my first hatchery purchase at Ideal Poultry in Cameron. Got myself 30 BB Red Old English bantams. And picked up 10 other gold & silver duckwing old english bantams for a friend. Was a good trip and pleasant experience.
