    Arizona Chickens

    I did get rid of them. Sherry was quick to jump on the offer. Mesa is in the valley just a few miles east of Phoenix. Anyone need a nest box, free to a good home. I am dismembering my coop and don't want to see all of it go to waste. Never got to show off my coop. Here are a few before...
