    Am I being childish? OK I am, but how would you feel?

    I agree with getting some EE's and don't tell them what kind of bird they are. I feel you. They are the one's being petty.

    Looking to buy local eggs (Phoenix area)

    My mom and I had gotten some eggs for hatching. Only a few formed but none hatched. Many were scrambled. It was very disappointing. Because of the excessive heat I would like to find some in the Phoenix Valley area. Any area is fine. She is on the east side and I am on the west. We would both...

    Hatchery RIRs vs. private breeder RIRs?

    I prefer breeders, even just hobby breeders because I want to support the little guy rather than the bigger hatcheries. I saw the how it's made with the baby chicks and would rather have the chicks made with love. But my RIR is from a hatchery and is much lighter than the show quality ones...

    things that make you realy sad and maybe even a theif

    My bad. My math is way off. I was thinking less than 1 sq. ft per bird.

    Great job, but just out of curiosity, isn't 20 x 20 still a little small for 32 birds?

    Do they stop laying when it's hot?

    Mine are very free range. I could not put them in a coop here. They have a house with a roof and sides like an ark. But free they can go under the trees or porch. They lay in the grass around the trees where it is long and cooler. I did put out frozen jugs.

    Do they stop laying when it's hot?

    I used to get about an egg a day but not recently. And other people with chickens have said that they don' t really lay in the summer. If they don't lay in the summer or when they molt then when do they lay?

    looking to buy in mesa

    Craigslist has some. And there is a farm and a few feed stores near the temple. But don't listen to the idiot that tells you that scratch grains are chicken feed.

    If the original owners came to your house . . .

    The original owners of my house live next door. They are mean horrible people. The house was a rental before it was mine. It was built in the early 60's and was becoming dilapidated. We remodeled. I don't know what they think, but I don't think they were thrilled when we removed the palm trees...

    Dry chickens?

    Oh good, thank you. I have become such a chicken snob. My chicken standards are extremely high. Tee hee

    Dry chickens?

    Well... their feathers seem dry. And they seem a little raggedy. My girls have soft feathers almost like nice fur. These birds have dry brittle feathers.
