My neighbors are in 4h and show lowline Angus. Definitely not for milking, but they are a great size and temperament for kids to show! They are used for meat also!

@meetthebubus I'm far SE...about an hour southeast of Tucson. @SonoranChick we got about 10 min of good rain. Hoping for more! It's too bad you can't let her have a baby, but I totally understand! My husband is travelling a lot for work, so I'm often taking care of the kids, dogs, horses, and...

My goodness, it takes a while to catch up on all these pages when you haven't been on for a few days! But I enjoyed reading about all the chicken addicts out there :gig @SonoranChick can you buy your broody hen a day old chick to stick under her at night? I let one of my buff orpingtons...

I can't imagine! Does everyone over there even have A.C.? Is it regularly hot enough for it?

@meetthebubus yours definitely does look a tad more "roostery" than mine with that reddish comb. I still have a few out of my large clutch of 10 I'm not sure about! These small EE combs throw me off, especially this one who's comb is black!

Any guesses on pullet or cockeral? 7 weeks today. I think he/she is from my black ameraucana hen, but unknown rooster (blue ameraucana, EE, or buff orpington). Only one row of comb is visible so far. Wondering if hackle feathers might be looking a little roosterish?

@Diannastarr That is truly awful. I'm sorry to hear :hugs

:lau

I have one that I can't get to stop laying in the alfalfa in my hay barn. Flavor for the horses? :gig

I'm definitely no where close to you haha, good luck finding a "neighbor"!

I'm not sure about Flagstaff, but just in case you haven't found this thread, there's a group of AZ people who regularly chat on here :) www.backyardchickens.com/threads/arizona-chickens.31227/page-6491#post-20157566

Thank you! :D

Welcome :frow I'm sure you will love it here! I'm jealous of the bees :) I hope to someday have some!

Pretty sure it's a roo! Obviously, he could turn mean but don't stress about it. Keep an eye on it, but most likely he will be just fine...lots of roos stay sweet. They are adorable together :love

How old?

@Krystalkate I'm definitely not an expert on a lot of breeds, and others in this forum definitely know more than me, but Mottled Java comes to my mind! He's handsome!

General rule is 4 square foot a bird inside the coop and 10 square foot a bird for run space. It is too small, but it will work while they are young! It is a great little coop though. Hopefully y'all can work out something inexpensive! Good luck!

Welcome! :frow Hope you love BYC as much as we all do! Love your coop name! :lau

First look has me guessing pullet, but I might wait a couple more weeks to see too. :fl Good luck! He/she is gorgeous. I just love black austrolorp colors!
