Hi, I'm sorry I haven't checked in lately - the Chicken Class was nice! We got to see the chickens on the Urban Farm in N Central Phoenix, and the class was given by a guy who works FT and takes care of his flock here somewhere in the Valley. We enjoyed it and felt a lot more comfortable w/the...

Yep! My mom, her friend, and I will be going. My mom wants to attend the composting class at 8:00 a.m. as well, so we'll go to that, then stay for the chicken class. Are you going?

What a relief to find this board! And, it is nice to see all the NW valley representation. I live in Sunburst Farms, and am in the planning stages of getting some chickens. I have admired the little chickens at The Stock Shop. I, too, was really curious about whether chickens could survive the...
