Hello - I live in Spring, TX and am ready to get chickens. I live in an HOA so it will have to be discreet. I've had bees for 6 years in the past and now onto chickens. I'm stuck on how to build the right coop for this climate. We don't have a huge yard either. Was thinking of getting 4 bantams...
Baytown TX has more chickens than residents, but don't tell the PTB. (Powers That Be) I just found out (thanks to this site) during the lock down our benevolent dictators outlawed chickens. What a time to do that! So I may not be getting chickens but we will see.
Hello first post here, nice to meet you.
Recently we were handed two Bantam chicks who are very sweet but we already have four chickens(two of these hens also handed to us by a neighbor) . I know they are a small breed (i have one booted already) but we just can't have six in our yard. I'm...
My name is Hayder. I do not own any birds now but we used to own chicken, ducks and pigeons when I was a boy/teen. Although it feels like a long time ago but they certainly left their impression and i always loved birds.

I lost my favorite duck today to a predator. I have about 9 eggs, 3 should be from her, and was wondering if anyone would want to take on incubating some so that I could try to get her offspring(s). I would just want two ducks at the most, so you can keep the rest or we can work to sell them so...
Hi y’all! There is this fish store called Nemo and friends in Houston tx and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this store. It’s quite a long drive from me, so I was wondering if it’s worth the drive. I’m specifically looking for rams. Thanks for any help or fish store...
Does anyone know of a vet in the southern OK, northern TX area that performs this decrowing procedure? I’ve heard of a Dr. James Richards in Oklahoma, but I can’t find him on the Internet.
Hello!
I have 2 Barred Rock Bantams that I need to re-home. They're about 4 months old & little sweethearts.. I just have TOO MANY ROOSTERS! 🤣
They're great guardians (they always alert when something is near), they're fairly docile (they don't like to be picked up, but love to be hand fed)...
Hello from Ft. worth! First time chicken owner here starting in the spring of 2020. I’ve got an assorted breed flock of 7: a speckled Sussex, barred rock, blue laced Wyandotte, bantam Cochin, a couple Easter Eggers, and a mystery hen. I love how each chicken has such a unique personality!

I have 13 layer hens and would love to add a Shamo or Asil to the flock eventually. I've always wanted weird rare breeds and I love the Shamo look, the bird would be for show and pet only and it's chicks would be strictly show pet only. I've seen them at the shows with gorgeous birds and I know...
We have two male khaki campbell named Ashten and Marten and a female blue runner named Diamond for sale. the history on them is the khaki campbell were surrendered and the blue runner was dumped. I am adopting them out because I need room for easter rescues.
I do have four female rouen mix...
