    Arizona Chickens

    Good morning everyone. We are relocating to Flagstaff from Southern California due to a job move. I have 7 hens. What do I need to know about chicken keeping here? I read several pages back on this thread, so seeing about cactus mice and watching for drafts in the coop… what else? Thanks!!

    Dusting boxes

    Chickens definitely need a place to dust themselves. It's their way of staying clean, getting mites/parasites off them, as well as cooling down. If they have access to an open yard/area, they will chose a place with loose/loamy dirt or sand. They tend to pick the places you don't want them...

    I have mites! (I think my chicken does too!)

    I'm freaking out here! I've been getting bites... I thought at first mosquitoes, then maybe fleas. But I now believe they are some sort of mite!! Yikes!! I have 5 hens, a dog and a cat. The cat likes to hang out in the yard with the chickens, and then sometimes she'll sleep on the foot...

    Found Wild Mallard egg on sidewalk!

    A friend of mine found a mallard egg on the sidewalk near the pond in her community. The maintenance crew wanted to throw it away, but she grabbed it. Now it's under my broody hen. (Ugh!) Not sure if it's even viable, so this may be a moot point. But if so, what do I do if it hatches? I...

    First time Broody-Hatcher here... I have a Silkie that goes broody every 6-8 weeks. It take me several weeks to break her, and then 2-3 weeks later she's back on a nest doing her best to hatch non-fertile eggs. So last week I broke down and bought 7 eggs from Papa's Poutlry. So I'm in...

    Guess the gestation of chick that didn't not survive.....

    I'd say 18. Fully developed but didn't absorb the yolk yet. So sorry!

    Are my chicks lavender orpingtons?

    Robgray, Can you post more pics of your chicks? I've got several different orp colors in the bator right now and want to be able to identify them when they hatch. Thanks!
