Welcome to Texas

Thanks! Life long resident, but new to backyard chicken ownership. So, is there a spreadsheet? I’d love to find some other chicken lovers in the area, as well as some Texas hatcheries.

If there ever was one the info is probably quite dated. As the original creator of this thread is long gone. At least I have not seen a post from them in over 3 years of hanging out here.

Did you have a specific question you wanted to ask though? We might know the answer. @007Sean is near San Antonio I am near Brownsville.

I would recomend TSC(no post board at my TSC) or your local feed store as they usually have a post board up with buy/sell offers too.

I think there's an unofficial one-not sure-never asked. I am close to bryan/college station.

Both. Damaged might make them look more vintage.

@007Sean My favorite collectable outside of chicken and dogs....... Antique corkscrews I must have at least 150 of those. I couldn't find that original posting so if it was @RUNuts with that collection post I apologize.

I have refurbished most of them...unlike most antiques, a restored lantern will bring more $$$ than an unrestored, ...usually! If it is a very rare lantern or lamp, I don't try to restore but clean it, and keep any of the built up patina still intact, if surface rust is present, I'll remove that but little else is done to the lantern/lamp.

Hey Allen, I have around 200 lanterns, banquet lamps, miniature lamps, angle lamps and 1 Aladdin Blue Flame Kerosene Heater, that I'm at present, restoring.
