All less than a year old. Healthy! Too many chickens. Pickup ONLY! in Tubac South of Tucson. 520-398-0505

5 sex-links here. While they are great layers, they are a bit hyper. I will not replace with more when they are gone. I enjoy my Barred Rocks much more and are also great layers. Yes, my sex-links peck, even ME! I have the Red/White. rocmoc n AZ

OK, I took care of it. There was/is a good wind today blowing in thu the South window & chicken door and out the north people door. SO, I got my lawn blower, released the girls & two boys to play, put on a face mask and went inside BLOWING. What a cloud but it is ALL gone now, cleaned it...

Pecking by the other hen/hens. I finally catch my two that were doing the same thing to the rest of the girls and removed them from the flock. rocmoc n AZ

My ideal flock is Plymouth Barred Rock, White Rock & EE's. The Rocks are the Best! rocmoc n AZ

I had to separate two of three Red Stars from the rest of the flock. I have written before about their cranky nature and now they are picking at my other girls. Even tho they are some of my best layers they can go and I will not purchase Red Stars again. The calm nature of my Plymouth Barred...

Cute does not equal the Best Breed. I place my Polish at the bottom of my flock. My White Rock & Plymouth Barred Rock have the best personalities & rank high on my list. Then my EE's. rocmoc n AZ

Rarely is there only one. Watch for it's brothers, sisters & parents. We had two teenagers a couple of months ago. Killed one because I couldn't get to it and caught the other. Relocated it across the river. Be careful, they have razor shape teeth and will use them. rocmoc n AZ

We have noticed something interesting. Each of the different variety of chicken in our family stays with their own kind most of the time. They even roost in groups in the coop. Also our EEs seem more game bird like than any of our other chickens. They play rougher and fly & roost higher...

I have in cages. BUT the bottom of the cage has to be high enough so the chickens can't pick at the rabbits feet. If it is too low, the chickens will pick & pick until they draw blood. The chickens love to hunt for food in the rabbit droppings. I am talking about outside in the run! I would...

This is what works best for our girls as we have tried several different time configurations. 3-4 hours of artificial light in the evening depending on sunset. This is the light that seems to keep our girls laying. AND 3 hours of artificial light in the morning with an hour overlapping...
