Haven't been on for a couple years as I was dealing with the divorce then custody battle drama in my life. Had to get rid of most of my flick when I left Prescott, but brought 6 hens & my Orloff cock. They didn't make it they the 1st summer in Bullhead! Re-homed my rooster & hoping to get a few...
So glad to have a resource! Just started my 1st mini garden ( just to get my feet wet ) and have sprouted bell peppers, rainbow carrots, green onions & lots of flowers!! Will be watching for tips!
Haven't been on in awhile since I had to get rid of my flock & relocate to Bullhead City. Looking to get back to the chicken life tho & am curious about heat hardy birds....also if anyone has any birds they are trying to get rid of PM me please!!
Hey AZ folks...thinking of restating a flock (had to give mine up due to divorce & a major move). Now I live in Bullhead City (hotter than hell) and was curious which breeds do the best in high heat??? Thanks for any opinions shared!
Hi AZ peeps!! I am rehoming a rooster to CA and need a USPS approved shipping box, but I am low on funds already (and as usual). I was wondering if any1 has an old box that can be reused or is willing to part with one of their shipping boxes/crates for a nominal charge (unlike the $30 I found...
Hey folks, I am rehoming my rooster and the buyer is in CA....I have never shipped a live animal. Could any1 advise the best/most affordable company to use??? Thanks!
Hello, I have an Orloff Rooster & hen that I'd like to rehome, $25 for the pair. Both were hatched last year and the hen lays almost everyday. The rooster is a proven breeder and has thrown awesome spangled birds with yellow legs!! My rooster is from Desert Marcy & the hen is from a breeder in...
Hi Polish lovers,
Sadly I moved into town and the new neighbors are complaining already of the noise from my rooster. I'm looking to rehome him ASAP! He is a white crested blue with black splash across is back & in front of his crest. He is very good to his ladies...never chasing & gentle...
Funniest thing!
I was outside chicken watching & my lakenvelder obviously needed to lay her egg, but was getting chased away from her favorite spot. After 15 minutes of her searching I decided to throw down some scratch & distract the other girls. She runs over for scratch in a squatted...
The kids made chicken treats/toys last night! We had saved those coke bottles from Xmas that look like balls & we put a few holes in them, then in went scratch grains & voila...a chicken ball! We also put PB on pine cones & rolled them in scratch. The cabbage tether from yesterday is GONE! The...
'She' does...but is showing a lot of red around the face & even has some bumps where the V comb is on males??? I will wait to see. This is my 2nd Sultan. The 1st was a rooster so I returned him to the breeder for her program & a few months later she called to offer me a replacement chick that...
Yay...another 1st egg. From Onya my Russian Orloff! I'm super excited. Plan on cooping her with her beau, Buddy & trying to hatch some her eggs. I just need a broody....or a bator!
Finally getting a few eggs everyday! Polish gal still not laying, but I have a RIR, EE, my golden lake elder...
Hens do it too, but keep an eye out for other roo type behavior in combination to that & physical attributes you can usually tell before they crow! I have known every time!
I joined the FB page for RO's and got great feedback on my Rooster (thanks Gallo). I'm very eggcited to start my breeding program! Now if my hen would start laying, we might be in business!!
I don't have any right now, but know a breeder in Paulden, AZ (near Prescott) that has them. Her name is Amanda and her phone is (928)848-7170, not sure if she ships???
I have a mixed flock, and had no troubles with weather. In the heat just provide shade, cool dirt for bathing, plenty of water. On extra hot days they like to stand on frozen water/soda bottles or in a shallow pan of water to keep their feet cool. Feed frozen treats & no scratch (it burns hot in...
