Totally didn't know that! Sounds great. Living down here, I never assumed that one could grow hops and other "exotic" stuff! Going to be working on the raised beds out back this weekend. My wife wants Salsa type stuff. Its common down here. I could try to get some Hops as well.

Well, I kinda don't like the one owner. Kinda sarcastic and not very helpful. I would use another feed store, but none close. Ace Hardware in Nogales said they might start carrying chicken and hobby farm stuff. So we will see. I guess Amado used Privett Hatchery? Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks...

Ended up going to Amado for a new plastic waterer for the ladies, ended up with 3 peeps and more baby food! ha! My daughter picked out one Rhode Island Red, one Red Sex link and one Gold laced Wyandotte. Wife gave me the look...I told her it was my daughters deal. *snicker The wind picked up on...

started the supervised free range thang on my days off. All went well, except the neighbors puppy got the girls all riled up. So I snatched him up and threw her in with the turkeys. Now that was funny. The dog hasn't been back in days! lol. No, no harm done just some serious pecking on the...

Yup, I have one Tom (Gravy) and one Hen (Din-Din). They started egg laying last fall, but have since stopped. They do get aggresive, especially when food is out. My daughter stays out of the way (3 yo) from the hen. Feel free to hit me up on FB and email. We can knock around some ideas and such...

Whoot! Another Arizona Border Chicken fan! Welcome and great pics of the coop!

I will keep you in mind! I am alot south from you past green valley. (Rio Rico). I think I will be taking a few chicks this season to be ready at summer hopefully. I started last april and didn't get eggs till august sept. After the Turkeys are done. I will be expanding the "ranch" for more...

Yeah, She was healing all good, then she got smart and figured how to get out of the pen I had rigged up for her. I usually check on her before heading to bed, but was passing out after taekwondo. I will be using the predator call and a "enhanced predator remover" out the next few nights! lol...

Lost a americauna last night. *sigh* She got out of her temp. pen last night and apparently a yote got her. That or some mysterious dog. My neighbor dogs were out of town and were not on patrol. (FIGURES) Good news is I am going to enlarge the flock with some peeps. Though, I would like...

Still got the RGs. (Though Chknoodle says otherwise) The tom is very light colored though...Doesn't matter too much for me. They are really good birds but they are getting aggressive with some of the chickens. I ended up using my neighbors old dog pen to house them till they are harvested...

Hello all! Finally got the neighbors' old dog run moved over to my yard and moved the "injured butts" into a temporary diggs. The amercauna is doing really well, most of her feathers is growing in well and she is putting weight back on. The red is getting better but is still very sluggish. Her...

Finally got caught up with all the posts...Yet again. Getting ready for Christmas with the family. Have a huge over-abundance of eggs sooo....The Fam is getting egg gifts in the morning! I just celebrated my 39th. birthday on the 21st. So that was fun. My parents gave me new egg cartons with...

This rain is amazing... I easily have over a couple of inches here and the run is a muddy mess. This birds are loving it though. I'm finally starting to see fall again. Part deux. Anyhow, sorry to hear about your meaties Pipemum. **** shame. I totally want to get some broilers this next spring...

I should've stated that I made it in a "homer" bucket from HD. But Most of that was the water. I would assume 2 cups a day per bird. Whatever that comes out to. I have 7 chickens and 2 Turkeys. Now they do eat alot more than the chix. But yes. I guess I was backwards with the 5 gallons of...

Finally starting to cool off down here on the border. I feel almost guilty with the mild weather and sunny skies. The birds are still laying in good order. Some days they slow down with 1 or 2 missing. But usually 6-7 eggs a day are the norm. With the sun rising later, I usually leave the...

Could you use butter/seasoning-salt on the skin to help with the crispness? My mother is getting some heritage (not mine) for the first time for the holidays. Should be fun. And tasty!!! My Rio Grandes are not laying yet either. I got a small little fart egg a couple of weeks ago and thought my...

Well, down here on the border, life is starting to change. Summer antics have finally quelled down and the season is changing as well. My birds are all molting. Getting a winter coat ready? 1st. time mind you. Anyhow, I have been getting 6-7 eggs a day with all chickens laying now. But today...

My RGs are doing just great. They were april babies, and are still quite young. I think we will still breed this pair and then maybe stew pot when they get old and decrepid. Dunno. First time for everything. When we do roast our chix, we also noticed the "water" mystery as well. Your own farmed...

I had a coopers down here that did a lawn dart attack at the run. Unfortunately, he didn't see the netting. It looked like a cartoon for a moment there. Eventually, the bird did free itself from the top of my run and leapt over to a neighboring tree. Licked his wounds and swallowed his pride. I...

good one! I made one 5 gal. pail worth of it. And then it took about a week for 9 birds to eat it all. But the poo is not smelly and runny. And the birds are very vigorous. I do have a small amount of cracked corn mixed in the feed. And just recently added some black sunflower seeds and millet...
