Hello fellow Texans!

I'm new to BYC and wanted to introduce myself. My family and I are currently raising our first pullets, which are now 15 weeks old. We live in a suburb, so our flock is small. Fortunately, all our girls are very friendly and love to be handled. Our EE will fly up and land on your shoulder if she wants attention. The BO and GLW will climb into your lap if you sit down. We've had a lot of fun raising them so far, and can't wait to get our first eggs in the coming weeks.

So far, I am having to keep the duck's kiddie pool changed 2 times a day. They get so hot already! It's been almost 100 here for the past week. Of course....they are a little spoiled!

Great to see more north Texans!

I just ordered 25 mixed layer pullet chicks. Ameraucanas, BA, Cuckoo Marans, Delawares, gold sex links, and a Leghorn x Barred Rock layer hybrid. I reasoned it's as easy to raise 25 chicks as it is 10. I plan to sell off my excess in 2-4 months as pullets, thus at least "recooping" some of my costs. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

How y'all doing in this heat? We got some decent rain day before yesterday, sprinkled yesterday, humidity fading this afternoon. Thank goodness. Mosquitos might carry me and the dogs away though.

Welcome! I love Ameraucanas and EEs. Have not had the other breeds y'all mentioned, but they are beautiful,too!
