I think I like the idea of pullets over chicks as well. They’re still young so probably can tame easy enough, but old enough they are probably not going to die as easily as the chicks. Thanks for the info. I’m going to head out toward Sealy and Bellville I think and check out some of the feed stores

One of our Easter Eggers from Cackle is getting so pretty, I just wanted to share! I don't know how we've missed it, its like overnight she just blossomed. I wish I could tell from pictures which chick she was but they all look so similar its so hard to tell!

Oh she is pretty.

I wish there were more like her! The others were all pretty common looking...I might have to hatch some eggs from her and see what we get. Watch, she'll lay brown eggs...

Oh it is Spring. The hummingbirds are arriving.

We should both order more and see if either one of us get another like her!!! Ready, set, go!

The HUGE downside to this is I'm going to start keeping chicks until they are at least 6 weeks old before deciding who to keep...plus maybe I should be ordering a few extras to make sure I have enough to pick from...and then what happens when I want to keep them all?!

Hey, I just joined, but I’m in Katy as well. Was looking for Houston area people that might be able to tell me the best place to get chicks. I’m trying to get everything ready for them now.

Welcome from Rosenberg! Keep us posted on getting your chicks and/or pullets.

Thank you. If all goes well, I’ll post pics soon I hope. There are so many great ideas on BYC for coops. I’m suffering coop envy and wish I could talk a couple of those people into coming here and building me one

Leigh your close enough to blue star ranch in Belleville. She has 8 and 12 week old pullets.
