I moved to AZ a year ago, and just was starting to get established when this horrible heat came on! My wife and I can't take it. We've accepted a job in WA but cannot take our birds! We have 10 birds and a fantastic coop. Is there a good place to advertise them besides Craigslist? Any ideas?

Well, unfortunately it did not work out for us. We decided that it would not be practical for us to move our birds such a long distance, and deliver them to such a hot environment as Phoenix in July. We sold our birds and equipment, and purchased new once we got here. I now have 9 lovely...

Hi Folks, I still have three birds I desperately need to re-home. I'm in Norwalk, CT. Two of them came from Beth, a small lavender americauna who is sweet as pie and lays an egg 4 out of every 5 days, a beautiful small blue egg. The other is an adolescent rooster who has not yet gotten his...

I have three birds to re-home. They are two chickens, one rooster. He has not yet gotten his crow. They are in Norwalk, CT and free. I now have only two weeks to re-home them and I am getting somewhat desperate. I am trying to re-home them because I am moving across country. Please...

Hello folks, I'm still looking for a home for my three birds. Please, someone take them. I'm in Norwalk, CT.

That could be, but the feed store told me that she was a rhode island cross. You are right that she is an egg laying machine, however. HUGE brown eggs, every single day.

Hello folks! I have three chickens who are looking for a home. Two are laying hens, and one is a rooster who I JUST found out is a rooster. I just heard him attempt a crow, but he has not yet got his crow. So, if you would like these birds, please let me know. you can CALL me at...

I want to say thanks to all who have replied and been so kind with the advice and suggestions. I have decided, for the sake of my birds, to re-home them here in Connecticut and start new once I arrive in AZ. Sooo, I'll be looking for some chicks soon after I get settled there! I hope one of...

Another question, I assume once I'm settled that I'll have a block wall around my yard (most likely frm the homes we've been looking at). What predators should I be concerned about there when I have a block wall and live in a somewhat dense development? It'll likely be Queen Creek or San Tan...

Quote: Gosh. The problem would be sudden unaccustomed extreme heat for your ladies, quarantine to keep the foster home flock safe, probably A/C just to keep them alive. Obviously you'd rather not re home them where you are but moving chickens to AZ is tricky. In July? I'm so sorry you have to...

Quote: I'm hoping that they will survive the trip. It will be 100ish here and high humidity (60-80% average) by then, and I'm hoping the birds will be fine with the change. These girls I have left I am attached to and it would suck to have to part with them. I hope it does not come to that. =/

I NEED A FOSTER HOME IN THE AZ/Gilbert area Hello folks, I'll get right to the point. I am moving across country, for a number of reasons, and will be in the Gilbert, Arizona area. I will likely stay with my folks for a while (with my wife as well) and it has been made clear to me that my...

Hello folks, Sorry for the obnoxious title, I just wanted to emphasize the important bits. I'll get right to the point. I am moving across country, for a number of reasons, and will be in the Gilbert, Arizona area. I will likely stay with my folks for a while (with my wife as well) and it has...

Hello folks! This is just me saying hello from Norwalk, Connecticut. Soon to be moving from here however, and will be in the Mesa, Arizona area.

Quote: Haha, as I recall, 100 degrees is like a warm late spring day there in the Phoenix area where I'll be. I'll have to build some shade device to provide them with extra shade aside from the coop itself.

Quote: Well, I grew up there in AZ. My folks are still there. That is part of why I am moving back. I have always considered AZ home and can't wait to be back. I have no problems with heat at all, it's the cold that has always bothered me. It's good to hear that the heat does not bother...

I have a very nosey neighbor, one who is "on the board" of the local HOA... You know the type. He has been somewhat excited(so he says) about my chickens. To keep him happy, I offered him some eggs. I took him two pretty blue eggs, and he says to me, "Can I cook these eggs?". haha

I have 8 lovable chickens that I really adore. I am probably going to be moving across country, from Connecticut to Arizona. This raises a number of questions. Can anyone please help me with these? My coop is 4.5 x 5 and fits(barely) into the bed of my pickup truck. I had intended to keep...
