Hi, Carla,
I am new to Wimberley, northwest of you between San Marcos/Kyle and Blanco. I don't have my birds yet, but hoping for quail one of these days. We moved from the Rio Grande Valley a month ago and we're still unpacking.

I know someone on here was talking about the Porter TSC, Any idea what type of chicks they have? Conroe has Cali Whites and red pullets.
What are red pullets? RIR? NHR? Some random hybrid like cali's?

 

[Cockle-Dood]

Nevermind...They are probably production reds, right? Cross from a RIR and a NHR?
