Arizona Chickens

The coops not done but it's coming along great. Chicks move in (out of my living room) once the run is started. They are 5 weeks old tomorrow and need to move out. They'll start out with a small 4x4 foot run with 4x8 feet under the coop and new 4x4 foot sections will be added every weekend until the desired size.

On a not so good note, I had someone stop short on me in the middle of an intersection and I rear ended her. She's an elderly lady (82 yrs old), went through green light but when light rain tooted their horn she slammed on her brakes. She said the train startled her. UGGG. No body was injuryed. I am pretty shook up but not hurt. Neither her or her husband were hurt. Neither of our airbags went off. The ironic thing is that the woman was driving a Mercedes and the closest body shop to my work is Mercedes Benz body shop and since I had a punctured radiator I had to leave it there. The good thing is neither of us were cited.

Pictures of coop as of tonight.


Nice coop!



You are right, Petra... they look a bit washed out.

But you can't beat those purebreds and they came out of hens hatched from Peachick with Geoffrey as the daddy.... too bad you don't have one of Geoffrey's boys over those girls.

I need Mama Hen Chris's mad photography skilz. Or maybe the screaming, fighting, crying kids in the background distracted me from the perfect photo.

Is there such a thing as "rent a rooster"?

Great job on the coop!

Glad no one was hurt.
 
Game Show is American Games, not serama. Regular exhibition udging begins at 9. Serama Tabletop is not on the official schedule--probably should have been, but it didn't make it. I think Amy wants serama exhibition udged first, then will start tabletop.


I looked at the book and it says game show is at 8:00am...is that seramas or are the considered the juding at 9:00.

So I seem to be cleaning peepers butts on a daily basis.

Organic feed, 90 degrees on the hot side, not overcrowded (yet) no one is picking - plenty of fresh water.

Maybe I need to start giving them bits o cheese like the last bunch?

I too am interested in the Serama times....from what I am reading here it looks like Seramas are included in the 'regular exhibition judging' portion, so any time starting after 9:00?

What other groups would be going starting after 9? I guess I'm just wondering if we need to get there right at 9, or if it could take a while to work through other groups first (if others are going before)....do you have a rough estimate for the time to be there for the Serama portion?

I've never been to a poultry show before so I may be asking dumb questions...sorry!

I go into lock down tonight.
I started with:
12 Whole Foods (fertilized)
12 Trader Joes (fertilized)
12 EE's from friends flock
14 FC Marans (shipped)

Here's what I have left
8 Trader Joes - Pretty sure of 6 of them
4 EE's - sure about 3 of them
9 FC Marans BUT I'm pretty sure 3 of them are gone and the other six I can only tell that they all have very strange shaped air sacks. Not a normal looking one in the batch

Has anyone had a good outcome from eggs with roller coaster (that's what some look like) air sacks? Should I have let them sit longer before setting?

Hope everyone has a great day ! I'm going to be a chickie momma in a couple of days!
