Wait, that implies that the mosquitoes ever disappeared...

They did not! They have been tiny ultra ouchy right now.

Ended up with just about 1/4 inch of that mysterious wet stuff…

Those are really cool pics! My phone tends to not catch lightening very well.
We finally got rain! ... Twice, actually. Last night at like 10:30 and this morning around 8!
Looks like it actually might cool down for a while! Yay!

North Texas (North of Dallas) - Chocolate bantam eggers wanted - I haven't completed searching the site yet, but thought I'd post in this forum. I have only found one site that has brown egg layers in bantam size - bantam welsummer chicks. They want $60 to ship and the last chick shipment I paid for had 3 out of 15 survive, so I'm not very excited to try that again. I can't find any hatching eggs anywhere. Anyone on here have connections? They don't have to be welsummers - just looking to get some brown bantam egg layers. I prefer hatching eggs if anyone knows of a source. Ideal poultry is the closest bantam hatchery I am familiar with and they do not have any bantam breeds that lay brown.

***Update***
I am no longer looking for roosters.

Howdy! I see that there are (unfortunately) a lot of roosters needing homes.
I am looking for two Rhode Island Red (RIR) or Barred Rock (BR). One of each, or however it works out.
Older roos are welcome, but I do not want an older aggressive roo!
I have chicks, so I am not in a hurry. These guys will have a wonderful life with twenty hens. Predator safe coops, covered, enclosed runs, free ranging when I think it’s safe, which is a lot of the time.
I am in between Houston & Victoria. I am willing to drive to look at & probably take home the ‘boys’, or boy.

I unfortunately don't have those breeds. Just Phoenix, Spitzhauben, English Orpington, Ameraucana and mixes of those.

I can’t wait to get my Spitzhauben! It will be after the first of the year because I am redoing everything in my coops & runs. While I was visiting my grandchildren in Seattle, I was not made aware that there was a problem with my ladies. I got a phone call, he said “I lost them” lost what? “Your chickens”. He had not told me a raccoon had torn down a piece of fence. Within a couple of nights my ladies were gone
I have redone a lot so I could get my laying ladies again.
I want everything perfect before I get my Spitz!!! I have it planned out, but I want my layers & their roos completely settled before I do anything else.

Hello, I am brand new and was sent here from the intro thread. I live just north of Dallas and have been feeding a duck whom I thought was wild, but turns out to be a dumped pet, most likely. He lives by a pond that's undergoing construction where all the water was drained. He's an Indian Runner (maybe?) and I need to find him a home. If anyone knows of a potential solution, I'd appreciate it! Thank you!

This is the original post with a picture of the duck:
