    Good morning y'all, Our pullets are handling the heat very well!! I believe I moved them into the coop at the perfect moment, when the heat was not quite triple digits yet. So they seem to have had lots of time to adjust and don't mind the heat as much now. (Corky pants a lot, but (s)he is the...

    Arizona Chickens

    Hello Arizona folks, My baby chicks finally turned 4 weeks old (Yaaaay!) and most of them moved to the tractor outside. But, have you noticed we are in the triple digits temperatures? Of course you did!! So, 3 of my chicks seem way too small and still mostly fuzzy to go out with the other ones...

    legs paralized and sticking out in front...

    Oh, I am so sorry you put the chicks down! I had the same problem starting last week, posted here for help but nobody replied. I will not give up on this sweet chick. She is the nicest in my flock and only 3 and a half weeks old. I tried making her the bandaid/cardboard shoes but that only made...

    3 weeks old chick suddenly can't walk

    Hey there! So, here's her story: my black star hatched exactly 3 weeks ago. She was eating, drinking normally, growing at a perfect pace and getting along fine with the other chicks. Last night I came back from work and realized she was not scurrying along with the other ones when I went to...

    Are there partridge Ameraucanas?

    Weird! I thought Ameraucanas and EEs were the same breed. I heard Araucanas and Ameraucanas have different... everything, but EEs were just another name for Ameraucanas. They are growing so fast! 1 week old and you can already see the coloring in the new wing feathers.

    Are there partridge Ameraucanas?

    Hi there, My chicks just got home and they are SOOOO CUUUTE!!! The kids are grounded from holding them so much (I told them to keep their hands off the baby chicks! They don't listen!). My question is this, I got a couple of Ameraucanas in the flock and their markings look just like chipmunks...

    Well, my dream of having chickens keeps being pushed aside by destiny! First we had to move RIGHT when I had saved a little money to build a coop. Now that we are settled in the new house with a huge backyard (by settled, I mean unpacking boxes until 2050), my funds are almost all gone. So...

    What to do about rooster crowing?

    Here's some web advice that cracked me up! ..."My idea is like that of training dogs and cats. You should buy a cot and sleep in the chicken pen. Whenever a rooster begins to crow in the middle of the night, tell it to be quiet. You could even throw a shoe. Then leave at 6:30. If the rooster...

    Drudge Report link on AP video of male chicks being killed

    Gee, some people REALLY think to be ground alive is a humane way to die??? To answer this question, simply choose how YOU would prefer to die - peacefully sleeping or feeling sharp metal blades tearing you apart? Animals are not human, but they feel fear, pain and deserve a humane death. Oh, and...

    Hi Harry's Pollos 1G, Can you post some pictures of your waterer? I would appreciate it. Harry's Pollos 1G : Dede, thanks for the links. The best advice I found was that in order to make the waterer work you need to some how create pressure in the bucket so the water will not continuously...

    We went to visit Superstition Farm today and my kids fell in love with the friendliest chicken we've ever seen! We decided that we MUST adopt one of these even though we hear they lay sporadic small eggs. I think she is a black Bantam Cochin. Anybody ventures a guess?

    Thanks AZKat. I read your links and also found my specific HOA regulations. It turns out I can have my chickys after all (yay!!). I have a lake on my backyard and there are dozens of ducks and geese that often come eat my grass, so I figured my chickens will be in good company. Yes DM, portable...

    Welcome to all newbies in AZ! Thanks to AZNessa, Eggs4Sale and AZKat for the awesome help! On the corner of my picture the black thing is a compost can and it would be moved if I put the chickens there. I didn't know about Oleander being harmful to chickens, thank you so much!
