Hello everyone from beautiful... umm... Bells, Texas. A small town about 12 miles east of Sherman.

I'm currently chickenless but curious.

Congratulations, I know the feeling.

I am really hoping that that buff brahma turns out to be a hen *crosses fingers* would hate to get a roo and have to rehome him. I already have one roo, and I don't think that 11-13 hens will be enough for the both of them. That and the free chick might be a roo too!

I am driving out to pick up our Silver Grey Dorkings on Wednesday. Then, the end of this month, I have two dozen Red Dorking hatching eggs inbound from Dick Horstman...Here's hoping they arrive in good condition.

Congrats! I hope your eggs all make it in one piece! What are dorkings like?

Hi and welcome to Texas thread. I've actually been to Bells.

That makes you one of a select few!

I joke but it's an adjustment for me. I grew up in a part of the world where "small town" meant (without irony) under 250,000 people. But... I can commute to my job, I can afford the place, it isn't quite "set up a shooting range in the back yard" (which would be awesome) rural but it isn't as "20+families in each building" urban as my last home either. I was working at the far end of my back yard the other day and the neighbor's horse walked up to the fence to see if I had any treats.... not bad for a place within half a mile of "City Hall".


Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Wow....my hometown is "huge" since it's recently grown to just over 1k people. My graduating class had - I'm not kidding - eight people in it...

I've not had any - but, they are going to be my project birds. I've been so excited to get them because all (and I mean all) the stuff I've read about them has them being stately, sweetly tempered, great meat and just all around amazing birds.
