I was going to read through this thread, but hey, I don't have the time for nearly 70 pages! woot! that's a lot of Texans! Yeah!
Anyway, I currently reside in Austin with my little flock of 6 chickens, 3 bantams- EE, Cochin and d'Uccle/Booted, and 3 layers- Production Red, Black Minorca, and EE. We got them from Callahans General Store (only place to get chicks this time of year, without going through mail order-then again they kinda are mail order, as Callahans gets them from Ideal, haha).
Though I was born in Arlington (between Dallas and Fort Worth), lived in San Marcos a couple times (go Bobcats!), and lived in Midland for a couple years (as well as Hawaii-my hubby was in the Navy), I have lived in Austin about 90% of my life, and love it here (except for the traffic of course!), & I definitely consider myself an Austinite. We have family and friends all over the Hill Country, from Fredericksburg (where we got married) to San Antonio, and also in Midland and Dallas...Just yesterday we went to the Heritage Homestead Craft and Children's Fair just north of Waco. It was GREAT! There chicken exhibit was neat, with incubators and homemade brooders, equipment for sale, a small flock of Delawares, and a few pairs of other breeds on display (plus some other poultry too). We had a lot of fun!
Anyway, glad to be here! Glad to see soo many Texans are here too!
