    Arizona Chickens

    Hello all! I am relatively new to BYC and to raising chickens. I am not sure if there is a way to search just our "Arizona" forum, so please forgive me as I am sure this must have been covered somewhere along the way... Does anyone in Tucson know of a processor that will process our non-laying...

    Hi from east texas

    Welcome- I am still a newbie but reading and absorbing info daily. This is a great site! I have 5 hens; 2 gold sex links, 2 black sex links, and 1 Dominique. I have noticed that the Dom gets picked on the most, which is a shame cause she was the sweetest. The last time I held her she was...

    FIRST EGG!!

    I had my first egg yesterday and it was a good size and had a double yolk. We got another today, but it was much smaller. I have 5 hens (2 gold sexlinks, 2 blacks sexlinks, and 1 Dominique), got them all at the same time, but only one Gold Sexlink is laying. They are all 18 weeks.

    Hot Coop and Eggs

    Greetings. I think I got my second egg today (camera in the hen house), but I am worried about the heat. I am in Arizona and the coop temp is registering 115ºF. If she did lay, the egg has been there for about 2 hours in the heat of the coop. I'm at work and no one to check for eggs until my son...

    First dozen

    Eggselent! I got my 1st egg today. I have only 5 hens, so hopefully the rest of the girls will follow suit! I was very surprised that the first egg was pretty large and had a great shell. I was expecting a weak shelled wobbler for the first few. It looks like you got all hard shelled eggs also...

    Excessive heat days in Arizona

    Yeah....I understand about the heat. I'm in Tucson also I only have 5 hens and I was so worried. I just let the coop be muddy. I figure muddy is cooling for hippos. I hope you didn't lose any others.

    Excessive heat days in Arizona

    I'm so sad to hear this! I'm sorry. I think feeding watermelon really has helped my flock. I also gave electrolyte in their water. I'm new to this so I can't really what is right or wrong.

    Excessive heat days in Arizona

    I'm in Tucson and this is my first summer with chickens- they are 15 weeks. I have a mister going, a fan, and we take out a shallow container full of ice water. Once they have had their fill drinking out of it they stand in it to cool down. I can't tell you how much they love the ice water. I...
