    Arizona Chickens

    I wouldn't mind doing chicken transport when I come down next! I'm off of 7th Ave and baseline in south phx which is probably pretty close. Anything to help save a soul! Just keep me posted!

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    My Bantam Sultan's first egg might be the world's smallest chicken egg! Today, my Bantam Polish laid her first egg and I was beyond giddy to find it still warm and wet. It's the little things in life! :weee

    Arizona Chickens

    We had a long heart to heart last night about his future...the bird, not the husband, lol. The Roo is now 6 months old. I realize he isn't going to be docile and will only get worse as he ages. He has been like a puppy following me around but there is no love lost between him and the hubby. Just...

    I am beginning to come to terms with his future. He's like a dog with me. I've grown very attached to him but I know it's only a matter of time. :/

    Arizona Chickens

    Hi everyone! I'm having trouble with Rooster vs. Husband. The biggest issue is that I'm going out of town and he will be in charge. My roo, Nugget, doesn't care for him and my hubby doesn't understand his behavior. He pecks me in the foot every morning when I let him out (it's apparently our...

    Do "lap chickens" really exist?

    Nugget has snuggled with me from day one. I would cover him with a blanket to protect him from the cat but he would always stick his head out onto a pillow. He still likes to lay on the couch(yes couch) with me and has also napped in my lap with the cat. He has always liked the same blanket and...

    He's a very cool bird. Funny, smart, and sweet...when he wants to be. He's only 4 1/2 months right now. Do the gamefowl have distinct personality traits you see over and over again or is it all on an individual basis? I can google it but would rather hear from the people that own them and...

    Oh no, I never said I thought he was abused or fought. The cat literally dragged him home at a week old. Sadly, in our area I wouldn't be shocked if he would have ended up either in a fighting situation(Regardless of breed) or a pot. Most likely the pot. He's just lucky the cat didn't kill him...

    Thanks for the lead! Sadly, I don't know his background...the cat stole him and brought him home at about a week old. Could be a barnyard mutt so I am just curious of what in the world he could be. However, I'm in south Phoenix which wouldn't be surprising if there was breeding for fighting...

    Topic of the Week - Aggressive Roosters: What is the best way to handle them?

    Thanks! I think so too. I wish they had genetic chicken breed testing like they do for dogs. Of course I'm wondering if chickens are anything like dogs, it's all in how they are raised, not necessarily the breed? I live in an area where I wouldn't be surprised if cockfighting was happening...

    From the pros who may know...Do you think my Roo could be American Game?

    Topic of the Week - Aggressive Roosters: What is the best way to handle them?

    No idea! I've been told possibly a modern game barnyard mutt. I was sitting in the backyard one evening when the cat came over the fence with him at about a week old! We looked for his rightful home but with no luck. He was unscathed and it sure beats getting dead lizards as gifts! This is how...

    Topic of the Week - Aggressive Roosters: What is the best way to handle them?

    I try handling mine as much as possible. Yes I've been bit multiple times however, I quit reacting. If he bites, I let him hang on while giving him a deep, firm NO. He's realized it's not that much fun. I can pick him up easier without incident now that we have an understanding. He still gets...

    Nugget was my first chick(the cat stole him from somewhere and brought him home)...This was all new to me. He just dove right into the garden dirt and never looked back. It's definitely shocking the first time you see it!

    people with house chickens

    Anyone else have some super cute pictures of their house chickens??? I'd love to see them! This is one of mine from what I call Lap Time Nap Time. How am I expected to get anything done when this happens in my lap?
