Arizona Chickens - Page 2582

Hey Mikey,

I am so sorry to read about Blinky and Peanut. I know how it feels to do everything you can for the peepers and then have to make the toughest decision. You have been a great Papa to your peepers. 

Update on my Murphy (my dog) who has an issue with his eye. Took him to the vet and he has a large ulcer on his eye. He is on 2 different oral meds and eye drops. He goes back to the vet on Sat. Hopefully his eye will have improved. Otherwise he may need surgery to fix it or the last option is if it doesn't heal from surgery, he will lose his eye! 

This has not been a good start to 2012 so far.

Well I ordered 172 chicks today.  No I am not a chicken hoarder.  They are four my 4H group.  They wont be here until june 1st because they are so backed up.  I can add one time so I am sure I will still have some other kids ordering.  I didnt realize how many we had ordered until the said the total was $438. I about had a seizure.  we got some good discounts because we ordered alot of a few breeds and then Cackle hatchery give 10% off for 4H groups or FFA.  

mama chris- I hope your dog gets better..you have really had one heck of a year.

Yes and that's what I'm doing and it was cheaper than originally thought.
 

I know this is a thread about chickens, but I hope to get the word out, for it is desperately needed. Free spay and neuter in AZ!  I don't know about you all, but when I checked how much it cost to get a dog spayed, they wanted 400.00! EEP! Who could afford that?? So I became aware of this and wanted to share! If you are not interested or have no need for this, let a friend know who might be. 

Bring your dog and cat out on March 25 to get them sterilized at no cost to you.
