Oh, wow. When I used to have chickens back in Washington state, my kids and I received fertile eggs from a friend, placed them in an incubator and watched the process. It was fantastic! Our first little chick (who we called Pip since he pipped out of his shell first) was a rooster, the rest...

WOW! Definitely a full house. How fun!

Welcome emmyeagle and csaiz100! What kind of peeps do you have? How long have you been chicken folk?

This little coop says 3-4 large breed, more if you go with bantams. So, I'm thinking 4. And, yeah, I'm planning to let them free-range when I'm home in the late afternoon/early evening. Looking at the pictures and seeing actual hens in the coop, I think that's reasonable.

Well, my new community of New Mexican chicken lovers, I've spent all afternoon searching online and am getting REALLY excited!!! I decided to look for good layers that tolerate the heat. Here's what I've come up with so far: Australorps...

FridayYet, there's the Turquoise Trail development at the south end of town (Santa Fe) that have acreage parcels and yet easy access to I-25. Hope you find what you are looking for. It's an easy state to live in.

I haven't been to that part of the state yet. Lived here only two years. Traveled the western and central parts and in the NE section but nothing really south of Albuquerque. I hope you like it and so do the peeps! ;-)

Thank you!

Great information! Thank you!

Awesome!

Awesome!

Thank you!

I lived 30 years in the PNW north of Seattle. I'm loving it here too! Very different. Love the architecture and landscape. And, of course, can't beat 300+ days of sunshine!

Found the New Mexico page! Thanks!
