Looking forward to you moving in! I live near Glen Rose and I love the climate here so far. It's pretty windy which has some advantages. Hope to see pics of your new flocks soon!I live in Arizona and looking to move in the near future. I used to be an over the road driver, found Texas to my liking. It has everything, I like; hunting fishing, and people that believe in live and let live, and self responsibility. The state has several climates, high desert to low desert, tropical to deathly dry, you name it Texas has it.
I am looking for a small town, I'm 65 soon to be 67 so there is no chance of living long enough not to be a stranger in Texas. The area West of Temple, east of Junction, south of Dallas, and north of San Antonio.... A big area.
Welcome to BYC! I have a flock of (thinks about it) 22 chicks and chickens and 3 turkey babies. My flock of 5 lives outside and literally sleep under my bedroom window. I haven't noticed an odor, unless I give them mexican scraps. For some reason burrito scraps make them stinky. The other 17 are in a brooder box in my spare bedroom, and I don't notice a bad smell there either. But I keep it pretty clean. I just (well almost, they haven't got here yet to get him) got rid of one of my three roosters. Though I think one of my guaranteed pullets is going to be a roo. Which means I really didn't change the number of roosters.hello fellow Texans, I'm so close to pulling the trigger and adding chickens to my list of hobbies. I want to keep it small 3 to 5, I live near Boerne on 1.3 acres. My 3 biggest concerns are; how much care time do they really take? I don't want a rooster, if I get one what do I do with it? Really how bad is the smell? If it's 50 feet from the house am I going to be able to smell the coop? Are the flies bad?
Thanks
Rick
I haven't noticed flies, but that could be it's so windy where I live that flies aren't so much of a problem.
Rainy day in North Texas yall.I'm new to the BYC community and have some babies i could use help determining their breeds.variety of 7 bantams. any help is appreciated! Yall have a good day!![]()
Do you have pictures of your little bantams? That would help a lot in determining what they are. And welcome to BYC, this is my favorite site. My DH (dear husband) is forever laughing at me and all the chicken friends I have on here. Hopefully you will make some and have lots of fun.
