A critical criterion is to make your coop Texas themed, not have an HOA, And lots and lots of ventilation(to vent off that heat). Also never let their water run dry. Austin isn't too hot, Silkies are pretty heat tolerant and relatively quiet(I've heard them called the kittens of chicken breeds), but you choose what you want attached is a pdf for you.
Welcome! We are almost neighbors. I’m just a bit south of you in Blue Ridge. Working the land here takes adaptation too! Hope you love your flock and have nothing but success. This is a fantastic place with an incredible amount of info.Hi hi, I'm in Texoma, outside Sherman to be exact.
I love it here! I grew up in one of the only republican towns in southern California and always dreamed about having a place that was like my grandmother's memories of home. She was from Iowa, Pennsylvania Dutch farm girl. Lots of hard work, lots of quiet love.
Grandpa was from rural Hawaii, and his memories of open country shenanigans were always fun.
Grandpa told us kids about a couple of boys he helped out once who said their home would always be safe for him and his as an honorary Texan.
I've been the only one to seek the place out.
It's been amazing, and my work here is always rewarded. I loved in southern Nevada for about ten years and working with the land required constant adaptation, so I'm keen to learn what's best out here for my tiny bit of Earth. Battle Born in Texan form!
This is my first year with a flock!
I hope to meet my local byc community and I truly enjoy the sharing of experiences.
Catch you guys on the flip side and no worries bout dropping a girl a friendly hello!

I grew up in the country, 14 miles north of McKinney...not much to do in that town either....hang out at the drive in or the Gateway parking lot.Welcome to the Texas thread!
Check out the learning center articles the link is across the top bar of this page (Articles)whenever you have questions that aren't covered there there are loads of knowledgeable folk here who are more than willing to help. I spent 4-8 years of my life stuck out there in that area and finally escaped Sherman High after 11th grade. I mean uprooting a kid from Plano, Tx and sending them to a location where the only places you had to hang out was at the now closed Mall, DQ, or movie theaters should be classified as child abuse!
As much as I hated country life, and still do hate being unable to order out for delivery, it suits me fine now. As a matter of fact there is 20 acres out back that recently sold, I'm going to contact them in around two years time. To see if I can purchase 5'ish or so with street side access so I can go TVLB on that. I'm just waiting on this 4 year note on the Wrangler to run its course.I grew up in the country, 14 miles north of McKinney...not much to do in that town either....hang out at the drive in or the Gateway parking lot.
I never cared to live in town...I hardly ever went to town when I was living on the farm.
I think it was a way more healthy upbringing than being raised in the city.
Trust me brother that is why I reupped again to take my little girl to Germany, and away from the idiot Walmart employees who would scold us for allowing a miner. Soft drinking cap there is 15, and after 16 it pretty much is anything goes.I never cared to live in town...I hardly ever went to town when I was living on the farm.
I always had plenty of things to do, animals to take care of, fishing, hunting. Although I had alot of 'bonfire' parties of the farm...everyone wanted to come out and drink, read 'get drunk'. I never was one for getting drunk but did my share of drinking.. ..my parents never objected to me drinking, just as long as I wasn't drinking to get drunk.
