    I have a one year old Svart Hona (Swedish Black Chicken) Rooster that I would like to trade for a female Call Duck. I hatched the rooster from a shipped egg, but he was the only one that hatched and I have not been able to find a hen for him. He would be much happier if he had some hens to...

    Yes, there was no sign of anything. Which leads me to believe that someone stood outside my yard and opened the gate to let them out. I am not sure of the motive. I have searched the surrounding areas.

    MISSING DUCKS IN SOUTHEAST ARIZONA - Last night between 1 am (when I last saw them) and 7 am (when I went out to feed) someone or something took my 5 adult Ancona ducks-3 males 2 females - and a Serama mix rooster. I looked around everywhere and there is not many places they could go, but they...

    These roos can add new blood to a flock, if you want to avoid inbreeding and genetic problems.

    I have 3 Appenzeller Spitzhauben roosters that need new homes. They were hatched in April. They are very healthy, I just have too many. We are in Bisbee. They are $15 each, or best offer. Please let me know by personal message if you are interested. Have a good day, it's beautiful outside!

    I was wondering how everyone else did in the storm last night. I've got one cockerel that appears to be dying and probably got caught out in the storm because the other rooster in his coop kicked him out when it got too crowded. I leave the doors open to the coop for my Appenzellers because they...

    One of my Ancona ducks had a big lump on one of her feet, so I found a video on YouTube about how to cure it without surgery. It involved soaking in Epsom salts twice a day for several minutes and using Neosporin. Then moving her to softer bedding in her run. It worked, and she is doing well. It...

    I hired a guy to clean up the yard, but he couldn't finish when a storm started. He never came back by the way, a warning not to hire casual day laborers. They have no incentive to come back. He finished the front yard first, but the back yard is a mess!

    Also, what is a good remedy for gnat and fly bites? I have then all over, legs, arms, neck, ears. Its embarrassing. I've been sticking around the house because I hate going out with all these welts and scabs. Its really gross. I cover up completely now when going out to feed no matter how hot it...

    I got a message via the emergency notification system that we were going to have flash flooding. This was when I was driving on Highway 92 just before Bisbee after dark. I got home just in time to put most of the ducks and all the chickens under cover. My Anconas were either out all night or...

    Hi, I wonder how you all are doing in this heat wave in Southern Arizona. I am trying to keep my chickens and ducks comfortable, but I've found that by adding more water (in tubs with bricks), I'm getting more flies and gnats. Biting flies and gnats:( I go out in the morning to feed and I come...

    Anyone in the southeastern (Cochise County) area interested in splitting an order of Appenzeller straight run chicks? That would be 8 chicks. I thought that the breed would be good for high altitude locations. Please PM me.

    This is kind of off topic, but I just moved to Southern Arizona and I'm having a bit of a problem getting used to the environment with my animals. The burrs and stickers are really doing a number on my long haired dogs' coats. Just when I have all of them combed and pulled out, they run out the...

    Would anyone within the Southeast part of the state (I'm in Bisbee) like to split an order of Bantam Mille Fleur day old chicks with Hoover's Hatchery $4.20 per chick / 15 chick minimum (free shipping) / next ship date January 9. They usually ship a couple of extra chicks so it will most likely...

    I compare the I10 going through Tucson to the I5 going through Seattle. Especially that gawdawful tunnel. I think that people are aggressive everywhere, especially around big cities. I thought it would be different here in the Southwest, but apparently not.

    Thanks, I'll give them a try when I get enough courage to drive to Tucson. I'm new here and when I drove in the traffic on the freeway was horrendous, and it was the middle of the night. Is it usually that bad through the tunnel?

    I did go to Jem's on the way in for propane in my RV, they were open when other's weren't. Also the price wasn't bad. Can't remember what it was, but cheaper than in Washington. I've paid $50 to gas up on the Olympic Peninsula. Can't believe the gas prices here! Its close to $3 a gallon in WA...

    Cool I'm there too. Nice to meet a local chicken farmer! Do you know any local resources for feed? I've been getting it at the Ace Hardware on Naco and Tractor Feed in Sierra Vista (too far to go), how is Miller's Feed?

    Hi I just moved to Southern (really south, like almost in Mexico) AZ and I had some misters from my old house in Washington that I used in my greenhouse to water plants. They are made by Orbit, but I'm kind of worried that the water here will just clog up the little sprayers-I've been told it is...
