I was told that the Pinal County animal care and control has taken in over 70 chickens, and have them up for fee waived adoption. If you are interested you have to call them first to inquire about the adoption. They also have a bunch of rabbits there too.
Somebody seems to be dumping chickens out over here. My nextdoor neighbor found one about a week ago, and then today another one showed up in her yard that her German Shephard got ahold of. Plus, they told me that they also seen another one running loose this morning.
I would, but you never can tell how the other person might take it. Maybe that person doesn't hatch any of their own egg's, so they don't know how the fertility is.
Wouldn't those canvas ones absorb the water and then leak through?
I only use those sunscreen ones in the summer to help with keeping the sunscreen heat off of them and put up misters. They let the air blow through though. The top of my run is covered.
I need to build another coop and run soon...
Usually when I had my other breeds, I would tell the members here in my states thread when I had extras that I would sell.
This year, I decided to go with leghorns instead, because they are a less heavy breed, and are supposed to be better on egg laying.
I think it's wise to get all of that done now instead of waiting until spring. It's alot of work, but you will be able to rest easier this winter knowing that they are done.
I'm waiting for Thanksgiving and turkey thighs.
