Some of my new to me 2 year old chickens are missing feathers on the back toward the tail feathers. It is down to the skin (which is pink) I don't see blood or scabs. Any ideas what this could be caused from?
Just added a 20 foot misting system to the backyard for our hot Arizona summers - of course today it was in the low 70's and super windy! I figured this would cool a big portion of the chickens part of the yard - I also have it on a timer so it will go of about 4 times a day to keep it cool and...

Well I just got my new baby chicks! I have 5 barred rocks - Coop is almost complete and for now they are living in a cardboard box. (Any ideas when they should move outside?) I was thinking when they have all their feathers. Well here is a pic of one of the chicks spending the night in the...
I am looking for egg laying chickens preferably barred rocks - McMurray only sells them in lots of 25! I only need about 4 or 5 and can't have any roosters. Any help on finding a place?
I'm in Arizona - The feed store seems to only carry straight run.
Hell ya'll - New to this forum from Arizona - I have raised chickens when I was younger all throughout my 4-H days. I now want to get back into raising chickens and just looking for information. This site is awesome!!! Getting ready to purchase about 4 or 5 chicks this week. Looking for good...
