    Arizona Chicken Girls

    Hello, I'm new to the forum but not chickens. I grew up raising chickens and now as an adult, I'm doing it again. We have two Rhode Island Reds and two Buff Orpingtons who are now 3 months old. Our girls love each other and free range in our big backyard in the city of Chandler.
