I had a very difficult hatch, with only one surviving duckling. She is a day old. Anyone near Prescott, have young ducklings or chicks and are willing to part with one or two?
She is very lonely, and it feels so cruel having her alone!:hit
Hello!
I'm Crystal from the scorching hot desert that is Arizona. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and his chickens. I'm so in love with them!
It's been about a week so far. We have about 20 older chickens of various breeds (Jersey Giant, Silkies, Marans, Minorcas, D'Uccle, etc.), 25 four...
Hi Guys,
I'm Kaligh! I just moved to AZ last year, and Just bought my first house over the summer and have been fixing it up, and now I want to get an old shed in the back of the property spruced up to become a chicken coop!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Im...
I'm new in this I order 8 chicks they are arriving next week. I'm now looking around for the coop design I guess I have 6 weeks to have it ready because base of what I have read they are big enough for the coop.
I been weeks reading and I have an information overflow and the sky is the limit...
Hello, I'm allergic to chicken eggs, moving to Yuma within a year and will be looking for a source of duck eggs. Are there any duck lovers in Yuma or is it just too HOT for ducks! Here in Pacific NW I've raised my own laying ducks,and the eggs are a nutritional part of my diet so I hope I don't...
I ordered two dozen eggs from a local breeder here in Arizona and its turned out to be kind of a disaster. Firstly, I'm 15 and have been saving my money to be able to afford this breeders eggs, they are $50 a dozen and I bought two dozen. I may be young but I've been raising chickens for years...
Growing up here in Arizona my family always had a flock of chickens, most of which we hatched in an incubator (the anticipation and careful watching was such fun!). Now that I have a little family of my own and have finally moved to a town that allows backyard poultry, we are excited to keep our...
I know this is a long story, but I have been following this website for 2 years and kept hens for 18 months, and only now, after my utter initial failures and more recent successes, do I feel I have a story to tell. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!
In Feb 2016, I thought it would be cool...
I have 13 female Gambel's quail and 5 males who are in need of a new home. The females and three of the males are a little over a year old, and the females are still laying. (I'm getting about ten eggs a day, last time I checked) The last 2 Males hatched this spring and have yet to be integrated...
Hi!

Greetings. I think I got my second egg today (camera in the hen house), but I am worried about the heat. I am in Arizona and the coop temp is registering 115ºF. If she did lay, the egg has been there for about 2 hours in the heat of the coop. I'm at work and no one to check for eggs until my son...
First time poster.
Bummer couldn't upload video of the young chicks we just got going at it with the scorpions. I cut the stinger off and the chicks played tug of war at times.
Hearing them chirp so happily once they discovered what I dropped into their brooder was hilarious. The black...
Well, one of our hens surprised us with 10 new babies this morning. Her chicks always turn out gorgeous and I'd love to keep them all, but we don't have space, so we're looking for homes for these chicks!
They are several generations mixed, straight run, healthy babies and even the colors you...
