    Food getting kicked out

    Well they have the scratching down. The amount of bedding that flys on occasion is pretty hilarious to watch. 7 more weeks inside unless the weather gets nice suddenly, which it might living in AZ.

    I have 8 chicks. Might have a couple Roos (which I'm not keeping), need to watch them as they grow.

    Food getting kicked out

    I've thought about covering the holes some, but it would be my luck the chicks would try to eat the tape.

    Food getting kicked out

    I have 1 week old baby chicks, Sapphire assorted. And I have 3 that like to sit in the feed and scratch/kick it all out. They've run through a whole bag of feed (only 5lbs) because it's all in the bedding now. I have the typical feeder, circular with 8 holes. I've tried raising it, but they just...

    We're going to get the large run also. I have to pull a rosebush to place it, but I hated the bush anyways. Hasn't made flowers in years.

    Everything I've seen says the males have light colored patches on their heads. I have 4 this way.

    Yeah, I know they aren't the best, which is why we modify. We have some scrap wood/lumbar to bolster it. And at this point I may only have 6 chicks we are keeping. So the prefab for 10 would be fine.

    What kind of coop do you have? My hubby wants to just buy a prefab coop and modify it to fit our needs. I'm inclinded to go with him on it.

    Watch out! I just got an order of 10 sapphires from TSC/Hoover's and paid extra for all pullets. I got 4 Roosters. Monday I'm calling about options.

    Arizona Chickens

    Brand new to chicken owning, trying to figure out a coop for the babies in my house. I live in the Cottonwood/Camp Verde area. I need something for extreme heat and cold. I have 10 chickens, though 4 seem to be roosters and I'll probably give them away. Any suggestions for size, venting, or...

    Assorted Sapphire chicks...

    I get it. I'm from farm area in IL originally. Didn't have my own animals but lots of friends who did. edit: have to add I have a tender-hearted 10-yr-old daughter who wants me to try to save it.

    Assorted Sapphire chicks...

    Yeah, I ordered with TSC but Hoover's Hatchery was the place to send them. So I'll probably reach out to TSC first. I was just happy they all arrived alive. Though one of those roosters seems rather weak right now.

    New to this all and feeling over my head

    Had someone tell me these are more than likely roosters. So that's 4 out of 10.

    Assorted Sapphire chicks...

    That was my fear. They were a mail-order only. So now I have to figure out what to do. There's no regulations against roosters in my area, but I don't know anyone who has or wants them.

    Assorted Sapphire chicks...

    I have 4 with spots. The super dark head with dark yellow spot is very lazy and likes the wings splayed, hopefully it stays healthy.
