About Raising Backyard Chickens
EACH CUSTOMER HAS A DIFFERENT COOP AND SET UP
There seem to be many millions of postings about sick chickens out there!
In reality, MANY of the problems are due to new owners' "ineggsperience" with chickens and that they may not know how to care for poultry! So it's an easy fix.
Many of the members posting questions (and even giving advice to each other!) on Backyard Chickens forums are on their learning curve!
Because Blue Star Ranch has been selling chickens for over 14 years in Texas there will be some angry trollers on Social Media (some former customers) that do not understand the natural life cycle of Mother Nature!
So with their lack of experience or not understanding poultry health, sometimes people will leave bad reviews.
WILL THERE BE PROBLEMS RAISING CHICKENS?
FACTS: No matter where you buy chickens, or from who you purchase chickens: There is a learning curve to raising poultry.
We have been in business much longer than many places that sell poultry in Texas. ALL chickens are subject to the laws of natural selection, weather perils, and Mother Nature! Loss of chickens is inevitable due to accidents or diseases.
So do your own research and learn that in some of the chatrooms for chicken groups there are chicken owners all over the country who are begging for advice and need help. Most new chicken owners want INSTANT ANSWERS.
FACT: I have learned that raising chickens is a "cycle" of replacements as your coop needs change, or your chickens begin to "age," or losses due to illness or predators chickens will need to be replenished and replaced over time.
So when buying chickens remember to give them the best of care and use quality products and build a safe coop environment. When the time comes eventually, all chickens will have to be replaced.
LET'S GET STARTED - WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
WE HAVE MANY HAPPY REPEAT CUSTOMERS
There is a learning curve to raising a flock of chickens! We are an agricultural business and do not replace chickens with cash or credit refunds. Over the last 14 years, BSR has sold many THOUSANDS of chickens and we have MANY happy repeat customers
PEOPLE AND SOCIETY CHANGED - BUT CHICKENS ARE STILL THE SAME- AGRICULTURAL BIRDS
Understand that chickens are in fact farm agricultural animals that as of a generation ago, chickens were considered disposable by your parents and grandparents. People & society have changed, chickens, for the most part, are still the same birds.
GO AHEAD- AND GET STARTED RAISING CHICKENS!
Folks! If you want to raise chickens please understand what you are doing, the risks involved and most of what you read on the internet about raising chickens is through rose-colored glasses! But no worries, once your coop is set up correctly chickens are instinctive birds and are really easy to keep!

Even before I got to Blue Star Ranch Mary Ann helped inform me about the vast world of chickens, I am just starting out and she helped a lot. She was very knowledgeable and told me several bits of knowledge. When I went she had a great selection of chickens of all ages and breeds!!!! I can't believe all the kinds there are!
Thanks Mary Ann for all your help
BEST EGGSPERIENCE!
Tess F 5 STAR REVIEW
My experience at Blue Star Ranch was really great! Mary Ann was so sweet, patient and helpful! I was unsure about what breeds I wanted and had tons of questions. She helped me decide and gave me great advice. She checked over the chickens before selling them to me. No complaints here! I will definitely be coming back!
FINALLY GOT HER DREAM CHICKENS
Tarrissa D 5 STAR REVIEW
My family met Mary Ann in late April when we decided it was finally time to start our backyard flock. She was extremely helpful in answering our myriad questions, but even more telling was how sweet she was with our kids. She took the time to explain to us about the different breeds, which ones may work best for us, how they interact if we wanted different breeds. She was patient, knowledgeable and kind. (She is clearly a grandma!) We happily took our chubby little chicks home and felt armed with solid info on raising chickens. I called her once or twice in the past couple of months for advice, and she happily talked us through our questions. She also offers a rooster return policy, which is rare.
We've been back out to buy more feed and have loved talking to her about our chickens and showing her photos of them. Our chickens are healthy, happy girls.
I also want to note that each time we've been out there (3X now), we've noted that Mary Ann is constantly improving the ranch. She clearly cares about her chickens and invests in their well-being.
LOTS MORE HAPPY CUSTOMERS!
ENJOYS OUR QUALITY AND CHOICES
Marie J 5 STAR REVIEW
Wonderful lady with so much information. It's obvious that she works hard to care for her many, healthy, different breeds of chickens. A breed for everyone. From beginners to the experienced. Two thumbs' up.
SHE LOVES OUR EGGSPERTISE!
Jenergie Design 5 STAR REVIEW
Mary Ann is the ultimate "Chicken Lady". I have purchased hens/pullets from her twice now and each experience has been the best! She is so knowledgeable and answers any questions I may have with grace and knowledge. As she helps you pick out your future chickies, she is so helpful. The love she has for them really shines. It's so easy to recommend her so highly when you see the love and attention she feeds her flock. Blue Star Ranch is the only place to get your chickens, in my opinion!

Magda B 5 STAR REVIEW
Blue Star is an amazing place. I was so impressed.
The folks there really know everything you need to know about chickens. I thought I knew a thing or two but they taught me so many more things about how to care for chickens I definitely recommend for all of your chicken and care needs.
