Welcome from Tyler Texas or should I say whitehouse. I ordered 36 chickens from ideal to be here the 1st of May. If you live in Texas their shipping is very low. This will be my 1st time getting chicks so I am hoping it works out fine.

Congratulations on your new chicks and welcome from Katy! Post pics when you get a chance.

So glad they arrived alive and well! I'm so worried about my chicks coming next week! 3 Golden Laced Polish .2 Black Frizzle Cochin Bantam , 2 Buff Silkie Bantam .2 Partridge Silkie Bantam , 2 White Silkie Bantam , 4 Salmon Faverolles .

Fingers crossed that all goes well. Where did you get them from?

I thought about getting some guineas.  The French Guineas lay year round. Ideal sells them.  I'd like more land (and money) so I could get a larger assortment of animals.  I should move out to the country.

It is a pretty sunny day today!  Highs in the 60's and then the 70's!  WOO HOO!!!!!  The only bad thing is that the cedar pollen is quite high now.  I did not know I was allergic to cedar until I moved across the street from a stand of cedar trees.  The is my second year to suffer.

Me and you both! I'd love to get a few acres in the country but I like my conveniences close by. I also wonder how I would keep it up alone. I'm constantly heading next door to see if my neighbor can help me with manly things. Lol and honestly I'd have many more predictors in the country than I do now. Right now I have none and my chickens are super safe and they are out all day. I don't even close up the coop. I like that.
Sorry about your allergies. They can be brutal!

A pair of guineas got in my ranch a year ago. At first I wanted to trap them for meat. But my partner advised me not to, since these would keep the snakes out. They ran around the yard, ate my chicken feed and lived happily. There was a period of about a month that I did not see them. Then they came back. My partner explained that might have been their setting time, and no chick hatched ! Then about 3 months ago, only 1 guinea ran around, maybe the other one died of some causes (predator maybe). Since then this one (maybe a He) still lives on my ranch, shares my chicken feed, scare the snakes and ... who know, some days I may get him a Lady.

How can I tell if this is a He, a She ... or a SheHe ?

Oh just get a few more. Surely if you get a bunch there will be a lady in there somewhere!

Man, I thought I had allergies, but I'm thinking it's the Crud. Feel so bad I almost skipped doing my nightly coop check. So glad I drug myself out there cause sure enough Whatknot had missed the door closing. I would have hated her being left out cause we never caught the coon or whatever it was that killed Scrambled. Now we will all sleep well tonight.

If my math is correct, then all 4 sides and the roof will be by Sunday ... but I am not sure which Sunday.
