Morning all. Nasty weather here in Central Texas with scattered thunderstorms and high winds. I was out at 4am dragging my potted tomato plants inside. We're supposed to get temps in the 30s tomorrow and Wednesday. Almost Easter and winter decides to rear it's ugly head one last time. Reminds me of the horror movies when they think the killer is dead and he pops back up for one last scare! lol I was down all weekend, sick with a sinus/respiratory infection (dang you allergies)... so my grass is getting high (and will get higher with this rain) and I'm no closer to getting my chicken tractor built... uuuugh. Anyways, I hope you guys are having a better time than me lol

Anyone in the San Antonio area interested in a male Silkie? He's great with the girls and really sweet with humans, does not mind being carried/petted. We have had him since the day after hatch hes approx a year and a half but has recently been fighting with our other male silkie for dominance. We have decided to re-home him before one of them get seriously hurt.

I would love to but sadly I am near Austin not S A

My name is Susan. I'm in the Dallas area and am looking for Olandsk Dwarfs. Are there any in the area? Hatching eggs or chicks or even older. I'm open to anything.

Good morning and Welcome
what they said.

I thought my tomato plant would be safe until tonight. I went outside this morning and it had been blown over already. Its inside getting nice and warm now, hopefully it wasn't traumatized.

I guess its a good thing we've slacked on getting the garden ready!

howdy from Burleson
good luck with your search
I found a while back that it's easier to purchase hatching eggs to build my flock with beautiful birds than to find them locally...or pay shipping on chicks

Hi there fellow Texans. I am in San Angelo. I'm say that I am new to chickens but I have had them before. This time I am doing it differnt. Before I had few range chickens and had easter egg hunts daily. Got frustrated with that. This time I have enclosed my coop. Starting out with chicks so dont know what I have yet....but I bought 6 Producer red pulletts, 6 Producer Mixed pulletts and lost one, then I was given 10 barred Plymouth Rock hatchlings, 1 Rhode Island and 1 Amuricuna from an elementary class hatch project. I hope to get more Amuricanas & Rode Islands soon. I also have 6 ducklings. I would also like to get some Guineas to free range my Properity as we have been eaten up by ticks for the last several years. I am tired of putting so much money into pesticides that don't work long!

Welcome from Trinity!! You'll love guineas. Especially when they're mad at something.

Goodness where did these high wonds come from? Doesn't mother nature know we have trees to cut down still and not to send 40mph wind gusts through the fields?

I'm just sitting here watching tree parts.... take off.... and fly.... ( anyone catch the reference? )

Here's to hoping no one gets crazy insane damage from these crazy insamqe winds...
