So the ones I gave you didn't keep their stylin' green "X's"?
Maybe we should have marked them some other way.

One still has a bit of green.
Mikey, that's very strange that the suspected broiler is smaller than the production red " Pullets". You would think layer Pullets would be the smallest in the group. Now I'm very confused. I have a bunch of lighter colored, big red ones with large feet, I think are obviously broilers. Than, some smaller ones, smaller bones, darker red ones that I would suspect are layers.
What a mess!
To make it even more confusing, Ideal sent me my replacement Cornish and silky ( actually, I added a couple silky for extra insurance, since it's for the granddaughter) and a bunch of red packing peanuts. I think there is even a bantam sized red packing peanut! The only red bantam possibilities I can even come up with would be bantam rhode island red or white laced Cornish. Or, a really runty full-sized chick.
Whatever, I now have a lot-a-lot of chicks!

What an awesome coop! I just love it!

Thank you.
that was last summers project. This summer (and fall) I am working on a matching duplex for some breeders. Hopefully it will be done soon.

This is just perfect, I adore red coops

Love the outside nesting box idea, that was our plan too, but well... it's still just a plan! I just looked up Congress as I see that is where you are, I will wave when I drive to Vegas next month, look out for me, it's a long shot!

Looks beautiful out there.

That is really a beautiful coop! I'd say you have wonderful carpentry skills. If I only had the room....mine is scrunched up against the back wall.

Very nice! You even have a water supply in there, darn it, I have to walk about half a mile

Who get's the room with a view?

I love seeing everyone's coop.
I think everyone in this Arizona thread should take a picture of their coop and put it on their page.
It doesn't have to be an elaborate page (like Gallo's), just maybe your coop and chickens.
Also, it's easier to keep people straight with a visual and avatars keep changing!
Please? C'mon, it's not that hard.

Hello all. I'm new to the site and the chicken owning world. I'm in Chandler, Az and have three chickens. Here they are:

They are Ziggy, Pete, and Radar. I didn't name them

They are adorable and I like the names.

It is an honor that your very first post is here on the AZ thread!!

OK - size comparison:

Front view:

Production red is a bit bigger than the red broiler. Almost visible in the pictures, very apparent in you hands.

Cornish is huge!

Lorp is cute!
