I see that there aren't a lot of takers for roosters in this category. I've got two Huge Rhode Island Reds which I can't keep because I live within the city limits. There is also one Black Australorp which I suspect is also a roo and possibly an Austra-White, but it's looking more like the...
To my AZ backyard chicken family:
Completely, sorta, off topic. I just couldn't take it anymore and retired this past Friday from my job of 25+ years. I absolutely hated it for the last five years, and came to the realization that my mental and physical health come first.
It's a financial...
Seems like when I try to post something, it ends out in the lower 40 acres. This is what I posted, but ended elsewhere.
Hey Folks, hope you all are having a blessed Sunday.
Anyhoo, y'all have seen my plans before about getting a kennel with planter boxes around it and hardware cloth...
Hey Folks, hope you all are having a blessed Sunday.
Anyhoo, y'all have seen my plans before about getting a kennel with planter boxes around it and hardware cloth underneath and up all sides. My only issue is that the kennels I like are 6 feet tall and my back yard walls are barely 5 feet...
Hey Folks,
I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but ACE Hardware out here on Houghton south of Valencia has been selling baby chicks for about six months now. It's been awhile since I been there, but I was pleasantly surprised. I live close to the new Taco Bell/Subway/ Travel Center...
Hey Folks,
Maybe this is an old question, but how do you humanely dispose of a dead PET chicken (or animal of any kind)?
I refuse to eat a beloved PET chicken found dead from preditor attack, desease or natural causes, and refuse to start a pet cemetery in my back yard. I have no problem...
Hey, Folks,
Been doing alot of reading for the past few years, but haven't made the plunge yet. I'd like to know why these tiny doghouse-sized coups may house, possibly, 4-6 regular sized hens with THREE nest boxes.
I know that a coop is mainly for sleeping and laying eggs, if they have...
Hey, Folks:
A newbie here from Tucscon, AZ. I have done a few posts before, but can't remember where they are to see if anyone chimed in...oh well.
Anyhoo, I'm drawing up plans for my run which may be about 8'deep x 20' wide by 5' high. That should provide 160 sq.ft. of inner space for 5...
Hi, Folks,
Bobby Basham again from Tucson, Arizona. I'm sorta anal in some ways and am slowly reading ALL the old posts, and enjoying it. I haven't checked in with the Tucson folks yet, but I'll do that when I take two weeks off starting August 12th.
Anyhoo, our City ordinance says that...
Hey Folks,
My name is Bobby Basham from Tucson, Arizona. I'll give a full introduction and post a profile/whatever when I go on vacation in a couple of weeks.
I live in a concrete jungle, all the homes landscaped in the front, with matching trees on both sides of the driveway, pretty pink...
