Looking for local place to get laying hens in Texas

[leeann92571]

Hi, my grandmother recently lost her hens to some bad dogs who tore thru her fence and broke the roost door down. She was really upset becuase she had some nice big Dom hens. She lost all her hens and there was only the 2 big roosters left.

I am looking for a place within 100 miles of Houston texas that might have a bit older hens not baby chicks that I could pick some up from.

Any help is appreciated..thanks

You might try contacting busterschickens.googlepages.com. They are in Rosharon not sure how far that is from where you are located.

I found a local backyard breeder in Hondo, TX . he does advertise on Craigslist, San Antonio , under the name of Poultry Meister and
we went out to his place 2 weeks ago.

I was impressed.. it was very hot that day, and his coops were VERY CLEAN!! He had very healthy looking birds and again, cleaniness was very important to him and his wife. His name is Ken Hyne (pronounced hine..long i)

You could tell by his manner, he knew his birds and they knew him. He was gentle but firm when catching several older birds he wanted to show us.

We ended up bringing home 2 gorgeous Ameraucana pullets.(babies were $8.00 each). a white (with beard & muffs) and
one that he called a silver.. turns out Silver is a BLUE.. we are SOOOO happy. Very healthy babies (they were born March 31st.. so they are just now 2 months) We have had them 2 weeks.

We also bought a silver wyandotte pullet (for $10.00) she was born Feb 27th.. so she is a little older.. very friendly pullet, very nice coloration and feather pattern.

He posted birds for sale today, May 30th

If you are close to Houston little peckers hatchery has laying hens and a big variety. Got 5 chicks from her all sexed and all turned out to be healthy thriving pullets. She’s not too far from spring Tx.

This thread is over 15 years old, and the OP hasn't been on in over 15 years as well.

So it’s about 220 miles from me, just a bit far. I’m in Hondo, so when I saw if a breeder in my town I was like great! Haha! But yeah San Antonio is closer for me, about 30 miles. But Houston is way too far. Thank you though!

Because, I searched on google for chicken pullets for sale in Hondo tx. This came up. I didn’t even check to see the age of the post. Lol. I am part of this forum, as I’ve posted before, and I thought perfect! I found a good resource for chickens in my area! Haha
