Texas

Hi, I'm Karen (member name "makingshift"). I'm about 500 ft outside the Austin city limits. We have had chickens for several years and we are just now starting out with ducks and guineas. I'd love to add turkeys and rabbits to that list in the next two years. We are on 1.3 acres. Nice to see so many Texas folks.

Welcome, Karen. It is great to have you!

san angelo Texas here. im just getting back into the hobbie of raising chickens and looking for people in the area locally to buy different breeds. i find it so soothing to sit in the coop and hand feed them treats or just watch them scratch around. its been about 12 yrs. if i had the money i would own every breed but u know how that goes. but indeed im looking for people close to me to buy some chickens or eggs to hatch. i would much rather get them locally. haven't had a whole lot of luck mail ordering them. so new pens new incubators new life N looking for birds now if you can help put message me back and i can't wait to see everyone's birds.

Welcome to The Texas thread, and to BYC. It's great to have ya!

Happy easter everyone! I got an easter surprise yesterday. Went to tractor supply to get dog food for DH's mom, and DH let me get the little giant still air incubator with turning tray!!!!

I am so eeggcited! Now I need my lil pair of faverolles to start giving me some fertile eggs to practice with in there before I buy some to hatch.

So we were busy today - spent the first part of the morning delivering Adirondack sets to Mike's customers. Then we hit Lowe's so I could get the paint and floor sealant I needed for the coop and Mike could get the tar and webbing he needed to seal the roof. We then came home and got busy. Here are the results of our labour:

We still have the arbor, the trim around the side and back wire, the door on the back, the roosts and the nesting boxes to finish up...but, it's really coming along wonderfully. I'm thrilled with it.

You should be thrilled! That is awesome! Are you blogging this or writing an article for BYC? If your husband can stand it this could be a whole new business line for him.

I have a pic i would LOVE to post... but it would upset any small children who happened to be looking over mom & dad's shoulder

lets just say.. it fits in VERY well with my sick sense of humor..

Thanks, hon. We have our blog going. It's "My Coop" under my user icon there on the left, or you can go to http://www.landstownpoultry.com/blog. Once we get it all done, I figured I'd write up a little bit on it and put it in the coop section of BYC.

oh mai gawd...I'd be so effin livid. The gal we have here (and the people at the PO here in GTown) handle my packages with kid gloves when they are marked "Fragile". Of course, this batch of eggs Joyous sent actually had "Fragile, Eggs Inside" on it. You'd have thought the delivery gal was handling a nuclear bomb given the care she was using to pick up and hand me the box.
