"

I had the same sort of scenario with my husband. I have been wanting to get some laying hens for years. I really have fond memories of my chickens growing up. But he was adamant that he didn't want any chickens around period. "

I'd give him the ultimate tomato, you and chickens, or just chickens.

Originally from Corpus, now in Houston. Yep, I know where Seadrift is. Nice little town. Hi and Welcome !

Hey ya'll!!!  I'm from Seadrift ~ a little-known jewel here on the coast south of Houston, north of Corpus.  I'm reading this having dejavu.  My husband tries to act like he's just indulging me when his buddies ask him what he's doing this weekend and he tells them re-doing a coop for me. HA!  I've never once even suggested he improve upon his first attempt.  He does it for fun!  

This weekend he spent his time (and $!) putting in a third run for our ladies.  We like to rotate them.  This latest run is about 120' x 60' or some crap like that.  We have 3 now.  Currently have 43 eggers and 13 FR's.  Oh- and I almost forgot - 14 more 3 month old BA's.  Freeloaders

Loving the chicken life.  People look at us like we're nuts when they find out we grow chickens for eating.  'Specially when its 69cents a pound at the store!

Hello from Deep South Texas / Rio Grande Valley, specifically La Feria, TX
I'm new here so you can add me to that spreadsheet if you still keep it.

Know of anybody who raises chickens in my area or close to me in Texas?

Welcome to all the new Texans onboard. Seems as though after Christmas is over, everybody's thoughts turn to "ta-da, ta-daaaaa" Chickens!

Somebody keeps a spreadsheet?

One of the original posters to the thread was keeping one. I didn't make it past reading like 50 pages before I gave up lol. So I don't know if she still is active.
