Whish List:
Pure breed
Blue
Olive
Really dark brown egg layers
Large White Egg layers (like Leg Horns)
Pam at Padilla's Peeps ( the breeder in Goodyear) seams like a real nice lady. She was very flexible about pickup time for the eggs and was really good about answering my question. A real Pro.
Thank you for all the recommendations about my new project. Decided to go with blue eggs. Searched around and got 9 Crested Cream Legbar hatching eggs from a breeder in Goodyear, AZ. Set them in the small incubator Friday for a 25th of September hatch date. Really like this new incubator...
Have not posted in a while but I am constantly lurking in this thread. Need help deciding. I have a empty pen, two incubators (one does 70 eggs and the other does 10) and an itch that needs to be scratched. But........ can't decide which way to go. I want a project. I want to hatch and then...
I am looking for a good egg candler and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place in the Phoenix area that sells them. I have seen several on line but kind of want to do eyes on shopping to get a nice one but not too expensive.
Thanks. I will get back to you later this week. I have had offers of eggs from a couple other members too, so I will be doing a mixed hatch. I have gotten eggs from you in the past and got some good results. I think some of the ones I am harvesting in January came from eggs from you. Also you...

Thank you for checking your sources and will be watching to see what she says. I am hoping for some eggs layed no sooner than the weekend of the 7-8th of December. Past experience has taught me I get a better hatch rate with eggs set within 4 to 5 days of laying as long as they...
Hi all, Been lurking on this thread for years now and just haven't had anything to say for a while. But now I do. I am doing the New Years Hatch again this year and am looking for some fertile eggs. Does anyone in the Phoenix Area have any interesting breeds that I can have/beg/buy? Still kind...

During the really hot parts of summer I shovel dirt into dikes around the edge of runs and flood the run with water during the heat of the day. The chickens love it cause they get cooled of while walking through the water. Just make sure they have a shaded dry area.

It all sounds great unless your the Guy in the relationship. We don't have the advantage you ladies have. We can't just smile and bat those beautiful eye and say "Dear, you know What I really need you to build me". LOL yes, after 18 years of marriage she still has me wrapped around her...

The reason why my DH is getting into this chicken thing so much is because of all these "little" projects. He now wants to build a chicken plucker if I can get him a 3/4 HP motor. That plucker plucks chickens in 15 seconds flat (check out various U-tube videos). That's what you need...

My wife laughed at me cause I won't let anyone eat the 1st egg laid yet. I just like seeing it in the fridge when I go get something out of there. My SLW roo that I hatched from the eggs you gave me the first time to test my bater is really taking care of business with the ladies in...
