    Hello, does anyone know the location of a good vet close to Chandler that deals with ducks?

    Dang! That must've been an amazing sight! And yay for the dry chickens. :D I know! It just keep coming and getting worse and worse. I was up at the WinCo on Val Vista when it hit, and it hit there first (the outer portion of it, so it wasn't super bad). Before it really hit, it was just really...

    And I 2nd @Junochick! It was awful here in my part of Chandler - trees snapping everywhere, signs ripped out of the concrete, flash floods, traffic lights out, ridiculously heavy rain and wind, etc. My family and I were out on the highway when it hit - it went from a light drizzle to...

    :welcome! Sorry I can't help you with your question.

    Thank you, I'll make sure to stop picking him up when he's doing his little dances at me, then. lol Mine seems to constantly be riled up, though. :rolleyes: Two of the boys, you wouldn't even know they're cockerels if not for their combs, coloring, tail feathers, and very occasional crowing...

    Awe! :p I think my little guy does that, too. He was half chasing me around with a dead spider a few days ago. :sick I can't remember what thread I saw it on or who said it, but I think I remember reading somewhere that it's bad to let your rooster do that? He thinks your part of his flock or...

    One of mine crows every morning. If I don't go out, he crows even more for attention and if I go out my front door without going to see him, he crows, too. :rolleyes::lol: He does do a little dance for about 2 seconds when I sit on the ground near him, and he's pretty snuggly when I pick him up...

    Sorry, new to dealing with roosters - how do you try to work it out? Just in case my little guy decides he doesn't like being the little guy. :lol: If he tries to bite at me, I pick him up and hold him until he calms down and then let him strut off when he's relaxed - am I making it worse by...

    Alrighty, thank you! Under different circumstances, I'd wait another month or two so I know it's not too hot for them, but my unexpected cockerel's are almost at 4 months and I'd rather them have the necessary amount of pullets sooner rather than later so they don't torment my 11 pullets much...

    Oooh, I might need to go grab a few if I find some in my area! I have no idea what I'd use them for, but it can't hurt to have a few extra tubs around. :p

    Arizona Chickens

    What a cutie pie! :lol: I let them all out to free range and the boys tried to show their dominance by chasing the doves off, but the doves were just not phased by them so my roo's sulked away. :lau Thank you! :D And they'd definitely have an entirely shaded area, and I'd probably freeze water...

    Good to know! Do you have any methods to keeping them out? One of them nests in my attic - no matter how much we try to block it up, the little bugger just finds another way in. :rolleyes::lol: Somewhat alarming when you're trying to sleep and hear scratching from the corner of your room...

    On another note, does anyone else's little roosters or cockerel's like to crow at the mourning doves outside? I tripped over a little rock this morning when I was feeding my chickens and spilled some of their food, and it seems like every mourning dove in the neighborhood showed up to eat some...

    I agree with @igorsMistress. I'm still new to chicken keeping, but it doesn't seem like a little curious peck is going to end up with your rooster hating you and attacking you every time you walk out the door. Especially because @cactusrota's little guy isn't trying to draw blood. My rooster's...

    Arizona Chickens

    Same here! I'd go out to refill their water, feed them, and spend a bit of time with them every morning before school, and they loved to untie my shoelaces. If only I could teach them to tie them! :lol: One of my little Roo's doesn't quite understand the coop = safety, and we had a decent sized...

    Awe, what a cutie! :love Of course the cutie ones have to be punks. :rolleyes::p Do you have your toe nails painted? All of my chickens went crazy the first time they saw my toe nails painted in my sandals - thought I was gonna lose a toe! :lau

    Ooh, a heat tolerant breed would be amazing out here! My poor Barred Plymouth Rock's are apparently more cold hardy than heat hardy, and I feel bad for the poor things struggling out there all day. My RIR's are supposed to be heat hardy, but they still get super hot, too.

    Hello, everyone. :D Our local feed store is getting their chicks in sometime this week, and my family was planning on getting a few more. My question with that is, will they be able to be outside in this weather? I'd have asked in a separate thread, but I feel like I'd get a better answer with...

    So sorry for your neighbor :(, but yay for the new chick hatching! Good luck with 'em! They sound like they'll be adorable! But then again, I suppose all chickens are. :p
