Excuse me, is any rehiring or giving away hens in north/central Texas? I’ve been searching but have had no luck.

In search of drake. I have to put my pekin drake down. looking for some fresh DNA for the ladies any breed that lays a good amount of eggs. Near Houston.

About 50 pages back there was a person running a duck/goose rescue she was in Austin. I hope that can be helpful in your search.

Super duck rescue. I forgot about that. I adopted from her before. If I can't find something closer that's a good idea.

Well, it started raining yesterday morning. Slowb sometimes heavier rains off and on all day(thank you). Still drippy and wet this a.m. gauge showed .8 inches last night, and surprise 1.1 inches this a.m. so almost 2 inches in less than 24 hours. No puddles but everything is greener. Woo hoo! Keep dripping!

If you find an egg laying drake-you better grab him fast and hold tight

So I am convinced my water must be contaminated and has been for years. Drivers here on the road are so clueless about how to operate their cars. I had a mustang brake check me for honking at a green light because they pulled out right in front of me and did not accelerate in a 50mph zone. Didn't matter I'm driving a Jeep and insured and there was plenty of shoulder and offroad to over take them on the right. I just don't get over how self centered and rude this demographic is down here in the colonias. Admittedly, I am a touch impatient and driving a Jeep.

People shouldn't play games with us jeepers unless they are trying to win a Darwin. Here is another Jeeper's experience. Looks like he needs a front wheel alignment though. DW crashed the Jeep into another vehicle it was not pretty for them. Don't turn right from the left lane if there is a Jeep around. It cost us nothing to fix the non damage.

This has already been posted in the regulations section, but as this is a Texas thread I thought I would repost here. I have amended the proposed regulation a little bit, I did not change the effective date at the end of the regulation.

All,

As many of you are aware we have almost had a chicken bill passed in Texas for the past two legislative sessions, only for them to stall in committee or on the floor. The only way that this stops is by getting a bill started early and making it a priority for your representative. In 2019, our last legislative session the bill was held up by our representatives not wanting to give the folks in HOAs' and POAs' the same rights as those in municipalities. I have drafted the attached bill to submit to my representative, this modifies the bill that died on the floor in 2019. While this does not grant blanket rights it seems to be a compromise that most of us could live with.

To make this happen we need to have everyone contact their representative and make this an issue for them. If you are in Texas and don't know who you representative is I have included a link: https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

While, some of the representatives may change in the upcoming election it is never to early to start sending these requests to them on a weekly/monthly basis. The more they hear from us the more likely they are to prioritize this issue.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Contacted my Texas Senator. Thank you for the update. Did a straight up plagiarized copy and paste. It is so wrong to tell Texans what they can not do on their own land. Dance nekkid under the moonlight won't effect me. Just hope you don't step on a scorpion.
