mirasmom, I have 30 or 40 roos you can choose from as well, but you'll have to guess what they are. I think I still have pure (hatchery stock) barred rock, naked neck, black cochins, Rhode Island Reds, silkies, bantam frizzle cochins, and probably a few more, and then a bunch of barnyard mixes...

Oh, I forgot, I went out this morning and found a mama hen wandering through the front yard with her 8 new babies I didn't know she had been sitting on. LKD if you want mutts, I have eggs you can have.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well! Question... Is it wrong to barbeque a turkey in the back yard while all the chickens, guineas, ducks geese and turkeys are roaming about?

Gallo, I have at least one pineapple guava that survived last winter. I'll look to see what variety it is and post it. It hasn't fruited yet, and isn't growing terribly quickly, but it's alive. My strawberry guavas didn't make it though.

pipemum, I was pondering this too after I posted, and I believe Arizona Son is probably correct. I've had skunks too, but they only went for the eggs, but would probably love to dine on defenseless younguns.

pipemum, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I have the same problem way too often since my birds are free ranging most of the time. I don't know what would have crawled through a 4 inch hole, or used a trellis to get in though. Kind of like Gallo said... If you have it secured now, and are...

our1stfarm. Cool coop, I like it. But, if you did do your research, will it hold up to chicken math?

DesertMarcy, thanks for the link to your video, good job! Makes my flock of 11 look pathetic. Also thanks for the mesquite recipe, I'll have to try it out this weekend.

re: milling mesquite... I've used a VitaMix to grind mesquite beans, as well as almonds, beans, rice and other goodies to bake with. It's not perfect, but seems to do a decent job. I'd much prefer a hammermill, but they are out of my price range.

Fuzzybird, thanks again for the guineas. They are settled into their temp coop till they get used to being here and everyone gets used to them. they seem happy enough. It wasn't fun chasing the grey one around the yard for 15 minutes when it escaped getting it out of the van. Here's a couple...

First, Hi to the new folks. I'm sorry I'm not calling you by name but it's few pages back and internet is so slow out here it takes forever to jump from page to page. Fuzzybird, sure I can take them. I got mine in April, but I think they will all get along, I'll coop them up for a while till...

Hi Fuzzybird, thanks, yeah, they are funny birds.

Pipemum, for the moment they are just grass powered lawn mowers. they are pretty fun to have around. Everyone has heard of the "Christmas goose" for dinner, thought maybe after I find out who pairs off to breed I may process one or more. I got them as day old the middle of April, so I haven't...

Here is a pic of most of the geese, and a few of the guineas hanging out in the tree

Hi Gallo and Pastry.. The boys are doing well. Wish they would spend more time here but since we don't have high speed internet or all heir friends in close proximity they prefer their mom's house. Gallo, as LKD said, no, I didn't know her, I was just looking at turkeys in the freezer and she...

Well, where to start? I'm still alive and kicking. Tired of doing a/c work in Phx in the summer, it takes all my time and energy. Still have chickens and ducks, and have added guineas, geese and turkeys. Still battling coyotes and feral dogs, as well as hawks and owls, Ran into LadyKortaDoria...

Gallo, those are some amazing pics. I'm glad it didn't have your flock for dinner. I've had more hawks around the new place here than I had at the old place, but the young'uns have more big trees for cover, fortunately. I have been losing some, including my favorite roo to coyotes and roaming...

We all want to be like Mikey!

Quote: If no one has jumped on this yet, I would love to pick it up from you. Wednesday I am heading to Phx. Any chance I could pick it up on my way?? After spending the night in town, I could drop it off at someone's in the Phoenix area?? Just replied to your pm. Yes, Weds is fine, just...

Hi all, way too long time no see. I can't even try to catch up right now, but I need to pop in to say that the poor SEED TUB has been sitting neglected here for way too long and I need to get it back into circulation. Please PM me whoever gets it next so I can get it on it's way. I am...
