Conroe, so basically Houston.

I am currently in East Texas myself I have been looking for Brahma Chicks

If you're willing/able to make a trip a bit south of Houston proper, Melinda at Seabreeze hens is who I got my brahmas (1 dark, 1 light) from. I've been really happy with the quality of birds I've gotten there. If you look up her website, she keeps it updated with what chicks/pullets are available.
If you're looking for more chicks from a larger hatchery type place, I'm pretty sure Ideal Poultry sells them, and is located in Texas so they wouldn't have to be shipped far (or you might be able to go pick them up).

Hello,
I have a duckling 5 weeks old or so. He is very sweet. I refer to him as a he, but as he is so young he could possibly be a she.
He was a late easter gift for my my little sister and my mother no longer wants to look after the duckling.

She/he has been in my care now and is in need of a home. Anyone who possibly has more ducks, a pond, or even a back yard.

I live in an apartment, but did not want him/her to be dumped, because people have this misconception of their instincts just kicking in.

I do not want to give him to a duck farm, because I don't want him to be food. I
don't want him to go to a rehabilitation center because there isn't anything wrong with him.
& I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT want to DUMP him which many have been telling me to put him in a pond or location with other ducks.

So instead I come here in search of someone who would love the new addition and treat him well.

I do have food that I can leave you with. He is also diaper training, which I had to do because of my living situation. I can leave those with you as well.

He's very sweet and will just lay on my chest, he loves to run around, and of course swim. He's just a big goofball.
He LOVES peas.

If I could keep him I would. I just can provide him with the things he deserves and I just want him to have a good life.

I can post pictures or exchange emails to anyone who is serious!

I live in Grapevine, TX so the nearest big cities being Dallas and Fort Worth.

I am in East Texas, but sorry I have no Brahmas. I have Blue Americanas that are hit and miss for egg laying, second generation OE hatching eggs, Black Copper Marans, and the one's I love the most, my gentle Coronation Sussex. I hated culling some of the excess boys, because the roosters are even gentle. But, they are great producer of hatching eggs. I have a brood of chicks I am raising up, to test fertility. And the hatch rate was phenomenal.

Hi Rooster!! I was wondering where you were. I agree. I am trying to figure out the 'Articles' and 'Reviews'. They don't make sense to me!

Have you ever used DMSO on your chickens?

If you mean diatomaceous earth, yes we do. We find it keeps the mites done in their coops/runs and if they eggs get too poopy, we find that it is a natural de-wormer that cleans ups the eggs, and if you want to eat them you still can safely. However, when a coop is cleaned I recommend wearing a good mask. The chickens freak when you put it down and beat their wings and it causes a dust storm. It is not toxic, but it will dry out your mucous membranes the same way it dries out bugs that irritate your birds.
