This bird is completely gray with a very small amount of color across the back. I'll take a picture tomorrow of the sides and top. He or she may be anywhere from 8-10 weeks old.
I have a challenge for you. He or she is a true blue Americauna hen x red Easter egger roo cross. This chick is atleast 8 weeks old. It has a pink straight looking comb but it is not red yet. I'm guessing roo due to the hot pink color and the tiny bit of red across its back, but because of how...
I've had dozens of BOs and that original chicken is a boy. Girls have bustles. That bird has a roo tail that just hasn't grown in yet. Plus it's comb & waddles are way too red to be female that young. Just my opinion of course haha.
There are Arizona chicken groups on Facebook too. Arizona Backyard Chickens is one that I belong to. People have chickens for sale on there all the time.
Surprisingly it's hotter here than forecasted (119) but mine have all survived. Today I am going to grab a mister and set it up for the rest of the week.
I think I overdid it on the baby chicks. I'm a bad chickie mama. But they were so cute I couldn't resist. So now I have 4 australorps, 4 EE mixes, and 10 bantam Cochins. Half of which I'm sure are roosters. And I only need 9 to fill out my 20 allowed chickens.
I started using the oil pans too. They were panting before and now they are only panting in the way to the oil pans.
I'm also building a new run, placing my coop inside. My dogs were still finding ways into the old one. I lost one of my favorites recently.
You're welcome. I got the midrange system and had them add extra nipples. I hope it works out well for you. I've heard nothing but good things about them so far.
This would be overkill for 3 chickens but I have a chicken fountain and I can fit a frozen water bottle inside the full cap to help keep the water cool. Putting it in shade helps too.
