I finally sold most of my roosters! After some cautious perusing through Craigslist and Facebook (I just couldn't make myself post an ad to sell them on a site I wasn't sure about), I found a Facebook group. I wasn't looking to get rich or anything, but I needed money to fill up the feed canister and web design freelancing pays when the job is all done.

Well, I posted about a week ago about wanting to sell the worst of my roosters (keep in mind that I've been trying to sell them for ages!). Yesterday, I got the first response that wasn't "Do you have any laying hens?"

The guy bought all five roosters! He has upwards of 60 hens and his only rooster was getting old. His set up was good, he had a huge pond with geese and ducks, he had goats and a great pyrenees.

I gave him a pretty good deal of 5 roosters for $25 because the boys were making my hens anxious. It'll buy enough feed to last about 3 weeks (or longer because those roosters were eating loads!). Now, I have 3 that I definitely want to keep and 3 I need to process. I can't wait to check out the atmosphere tomorrow. I was getting tired of seeing so much mounting going on. :D
 
I just found out that the neighbor behind me that lives in the apartment above the barber shop has a house chicken!

I was so happy! Her husband found the poor little rhode island red half mauled to death by a dog and took it to the vet. At first they had no intention of keeping her, they were going to let her heal up and find her a home, but they got attached! So now she lives inside with their two cats~ Her little leg never healed properly and she is missing feathers on her neck, but she seems so happy. They said she comes and greets them at the door when they get home, so sweet <3
 
So I am reading that people are starting to plant onions. Are those seeds or bulbs? What else can we start planting before the last frost? I have read peas and spinach. What kind of peas have a high yield, require less space and grow well in Texas?

I have read to start tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, head lettuce, and peppers inside before transplanting to the garden outdoors. Is there anything else you can think of to start in advance?

This is also something I would like to know, I want to start a vegetable garden that's as natural as I can get it, I would like to know what kind of seeds I should buy and from where.
