It's totally not hard! I live in Mesa and have 6. Kids love them and aside from building the coop, my hubby doesn't have to do anything with them. We even free range ours and they have never attempted to fly over the block wall. Get...
Our 3 oldest hens are now about 11 weeks and free range in the backyard. They are very quiet, only make quiet bok-bok noises when chased by my 5 yr olds. Maybe they will get louder when laying, but I doubt much. They are Buff Orpingtons...
Duh! Totally makes sense! Sorry! I have seen a big pile of poo where they sleep. Strange that they do that while asleep!

Hey Texans, I am a native Arizonan, but am trying to convince my hubby to move to TX. He is a civil engineer so we would have to be near a city like Austin. Anyone have a suggestion where we could look for a house on at least an acre?...
