    Thanks Sonoran Silkies for the tips on desert chick raising. We now have two, the Partridge and a White Silkie. At least we had two last night, this morning I only saw one, but then it nestled under Mama and I couldn't see anything at all so maybe the Partridge was still underneath sleeping.

    There is a Hen House in Arizzzzzzonnnnnnnna

    They call it the Palace a Poule... The heat in Arizona is obviously frying my brain cells as well as eggs as I'm a little goofy. With thanks to Nifty Chicken for the template: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've been eating eggs and occasionally a bit of...
