    Good morning everyone! Congratulations on the little one, AZKat! I have my first broody! I'm so excited! Although, I'm trying to keep a cool head here since she just appeared to go broody yesterday...I'm worried she might lose interest. She's a hatchery quality white P. Rock. Anyway, I...

    That sucks, Laree. My 5 month old Great Pyr/Newfie mix has proven himself to be a chicken killer too. The last chick I caught him with was a 2 week old RIR. I saw the feet hanging out of his mouth and when I yelled at him, he swallowed the chickie down. *sigh* At least he ate it though...it...

    Quote: Good to know...I may just have to head up there. Darn aphids. Funny story about a ladybug...the other day my 3 year old was out with me in the front yard and starting yelling, "Mom! A big ant!!!" I ran over to him, and it was a ladybug crawling up his leg. LOL He helped me put the...

    Quote: I will have something in a few months, but right now I dont. What kind is your friend looking for or does it matter? He doesn't seem to care...he just didn't want to have to mess with putting them in a brooder, as he wants to be able to integrate the newbies with the others as quickly...

    Thanks again, Laree! Concealer and lip gloss are wonderful things! Thanks, Enjaytoo! I would've given all of you a head's up, but I was worried that if I was aware there would be a lot of people I knew watching I'd be really nervous!

    @LareePQG ...thanks! Yes, my three keep me busy! The cancer diet always works too...best diet you never want to go on! @cap1717...we were on Fox 10 "Cory's Corner". I have a listing on Local Harvest, I sell my meat birds (we are a super small operation though...only raising 50 meat chickens...

    ChrystalGail, Be wary and watch your chickens when feeding them scorpions. Bark scorpions love our house and yard as much as we do. To give you an idea of how many we have, my husband goes out every night with a black light to hunt for them. He kills at least 10 a night...most nights it's...

    Quote: I'm in Gilbert, and my most recent flock of chicks I got 2 weeks ago. There's 50 of them and they are in a 4X10 movable pen in the backyard. For the first week, I put two heat lamps in since it's getting down to the 70s at night. Since them they've been fine without a heat lamp...

    Quote: Did you get any responses ? I process my own and with friends over here in Cochise county, but I can't sell them dead to anyone without a stamp! I got one response, to which I replied...however, she never responded back. So, I don't know. For now, I'll quietly do it in my own yard.

    Quote: Boy you aren't kidding, Rachel. If I had the start up money, I'd be on that business like white on rice. There isn't a single small time processor that will do chickens and turkeys in the whole state!

    Quote: Thanks for the tip, Rufus. I did call them already. They only do beef and bison. They guy was really nice though, I'll give him that. He even called me "Sugar"! I haven't been called that since my Grandpa passed away.

    I'm pulling myself up by my boot straps now. I just posted an ad on Craigslist looking for other people who would like to start up a meat processing co-op with me. Here's the ad in case any of you are interested: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/com/1237875796.html

    That's what's so crazy! Gilbert is a farming community! One of the reasons we wanted to live here was that there are lax restrictions on poultry and livestock. I guess you can have them...just can't process them! We didn't want to live in a cookie cutter house with snooty neighbors. I live...

    ArizonaNessa... I'm not going to have a fit over what you said. It's so irritating that I want to live a self-reliant life and feed my children wholesome, home grown food...but because of other peoples backwards sensibilities I can't! I can understand if the town doesn't want some huge...
