Gooood Morning TEXAS! Hope all have a good day.

And you too. We are currently at 48 degrees and expecting to be in the low 80's with wind here in this part of the state. So it is setting up to be a pretty good day.

Locolobo56 here. Just joined the site a few weeks ago and just found this site. I hail from Angleton, Brazoria county about 50 miles south of downtown Houston. Did not read through all of the threads (3800+ of them?) but saw someone here from Sweeney. About 25 miles west of me. 6 Buff Orp hens and 1 rooster. HOWDY!!!!!

Well we are about as far from you as we can be and still be in Texas but a robust welcome to you and your birds. If you haven't guessed yet you have landed in a pretty good place if you ever have questions and a really great place to just chat and chew the fat.

Once again, welcome to the newbies! Look forward to making your acquaintance. Seems this site/thread is growing daily!

Very nice weather report. Gotta watch the wind here too, today.

Good morning, chicken lovers! While I'm having to wait to get my coop up and running, I'm enjoying reading all the threads on this site to get some great input, ideas, etc. It amazes me that there are so many different breeds!

I want to start out with fertile eggs so I can go through the hatching process and get my chicks used to being handled. I have this "grand plan" in my head which might be a fantasy ... LOL. I know nothing about raising chickens but I'm willing to learn

. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!! ~ Stacey

I think that is a grand way to go. They are always so much sweeter when you raise them yourself.

I have my coop up and running

but I've got the chicken fever. I have 20 production reds bought at 18 mos. old. The kind folks at McMurray hatchery sent me a catalog. Durn. Big mistake. Plus I could've help myself at Arrow Feed in Granbury

Americaunas, etc. Then I saw the Wyandottes in the catalog. Dominiques. I'm in trouble. Haha. My fiancee has to build a huge extension on the run. I saw a comment earlier about registering for gifts at Tractor Supply. I'm thinking that's not a bad idea. Anyway, you will find tons of good info here.

Hey everybody...take a look at Texas size lemons. Any body else got fruit yet. It came off of a neighbors tree today.

Register for gifts at TSC. Gotta get that on to do list. Sounds like chicken math is in favor for you. Hehe. Congrats on getting coop up and running and new fowl.
