Hello! Welcome from east Texas!

Out of curiosity, what breeds do you have? I'm still trying to narrow down my eight. I'm at, like, 40 right now!

I have standards: easter eggers, brahmas, langshan, a cuckoo marans, orpingtons, a welsummer, naked necks, one orloff, one sussex, a lot of backyard mixes
Bantams: cochins, old english, and a bunch of backyard mixes
40 seems reasonable to me.

Hello, and welcome to BYC! We're glad to have you here.

I'm in Central Texas as well and I've had/have mixed breeds, Easter Eggers, Dominiques, Leghorns, ISA Browns, Barred Rocks, a Buff Orpington, and a Welsummer (though she suddenly died at not even 2, it was during summer, but not sure if it was from heat. ). They all have done pretty well in the heat and I haven't had any get overheated or anything.

Let me guess. You're not within city limits!

In addition to heat tolerance, I also need to check on how noisy they are. The next-door neighbors have chickens and they have one REALLY loud hen.

Thank you for sharing! I was able to cut my list down to about 20!
