    Good morning y'all, Our pullets are handling the heat very well!! I believe I moved them into the coop at the perfect moment, when the heat was not quite triple digits yet. So they seem to have had lots of time to adjust and don't mind the heat as much now. (Corky pants a lot, but (s)he is the...

    Hello Arizona folks, My baby chicks finally turned 4 weeks old (Yaaaay!) and most of them moved to the tractor outside. But, have you noticed we are in the triple digits temperatures? Of course you did!! So, 3 of my chicks seem way too small and still mostly fuzzy to go out with the other ones...

    Well, my dream of having chickens keeps being pushed aside by destiny! First we had to move RIGHT when I had saved a little money to build a coop. Now that we are settled in the new house with a huge backyard (by settled, I mean unpacking boxes until 2050), my funds are almost all gone. So...

    Hi Harry's Pollos 1G, Can you post some pictures of your waterer? I would appreciate it. Harry's Pollos 1G : Dede, thanks for the links. The best advice I found was that in order to make the waterer work you need to some how create pressure in the bucket so the water will not continuously...

    Harry's Pollos 1G : In an effort to get some more ideas and insight I am re-posting my original post from a few days ago (I hope you die hards don't mind) One of these days I'm actually going to be a contributor to this forum and quit asking all of you experts for new advice and help. This...

    We went to visit Superstition Farm today and my kids fell in love with the friendliest chicken we've ever seen! We decided that we MUST adopt one of these even though we hear they lay sporadic small eggs. I think she is a black Bantam Cochin. Anybody ventures a guess?

    Thanks AZKat. I read your links and also found my specific HOA regulations. It turns out I can have my chickys after all (yay!!). I have a lake on my backyard and there are dozens of ducks and geese that often come eat my grass, so I figured my chickens will be in good company. Yes DM, portable...

    Welcome to all newbies in AZ! Thanks to AZNessa, Eggs4Sale and AZKat for the awesome help! On the corner of my picture the black thing is a compost can and it would be moved if I put the chickens there. I didn't know about Oleander being harmful to chickens, thank you so much! My husband said...

I am researching all I can about chickens before I start this new endeavor and my biggest concern is ending up with sick chickens. Any chance someone in Gilbert would like to show us your chicken coop and go over the basics in...
