We're in on the outskirts of Hockley about 7 miles west of Magnolia and 40 miles north of Houston. I just found out that my wife has bought two Barred Rock chicks today. This came about an hour after we decided to go pick up 2 Ameraucana's tomorrow with the kids. I need to hurry up and build the coop so I can finally say we don't have enough room for any more.

Howdy and

from Rosenberg, TX! I think you are about to learn ALL about 'chicken math'. Beware, there are chicken enablers on this site!

DW just called me to let me know that all my 8 week old were in an accident today...with or without help(i dont know yet) the roof of their coup was open enough for them to get out...and i am 9 chickens down....sad day at cockle-dood ranch.

Little wing, i may be getting a few older birds off you soon.

im down to 3 SLW's and 2 polish that happened to be inside still, grateful on my procrastination on that front! Gonna attempt to get my big coup ready since my smaller one still has issues obviously!

Awe man, that's too bad! Sorry to hear that.
Come on down. I so need to get rid of some chickens. I have way too many. Just come pic them out! I make you good deal!

I just wanted to say howdy to all the Texas people. My wife and I were just given our first chicks on Easter, 2 very pretty golden sex links. The kids are in love with them. I have been trying to learn all that I can, but any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Welcome! I am certain that you will really love chicken raising. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us!

Aaaand welcome to chicken math. Always build bigger than you need.

Oh, so sad. I have been following you closely since my chicks are only a week behind those you lost. So sorry to hear it. My brother has lost like ten of his (same age) to his half grown pup.

We are headed down this weekend to the new land we just bought to put up or fencing and chicken yard. What an exciting time! We'll get on our new land just in time for the meaties to get a small taste of freedom before they meet the cone. I talked to my laying hens and they said they can't wait, but could I please install a chicken spa and massage parlor in their yard.

Sorry to hear about your flock Cockle-Dood. That is one thing I am nervous about is securing the flock. Our family if very animal friendly and I have 3 small children. We have already lost some pets to old age/natural causes, but we havent had to deal with any accidental loss. I hope I can secure the coop well enough.

I have more in the coop you can look at too. This would be a good weekend for it.
