Arizona Chickens

[Mikey D]

Novaleigh, Great deal on the lumber. Wish I had patience to have waited to accumulate what we needed but. I just wanted it done to get the chicks out of the house.

BostonBryce, Beautiful Eggs

kevs-chickadees, Your son definitely deserved 1st place.

Mikey D, I think I remember you posting that you purchased 50# of Oyster Shell. If I recall you were looking to sell a bit of it? I could be wrong but if I am right, I'd be interested in buying 10# or so from you.

Heck - I was gonna give it away - but selling it is OK too.

HAHAHA!!!!! I laughed SOOO hard when I read your post, that I simply must name him that! HAHA!!! Thanks for the good belly laugh! ....My husband just came into the computer room, he said..what are you laughing about?? I asked, Oh...did I wake you up with my laughing? He said, Yup! *OOPS!* Lucyfer it is!!! Thanks Momgoose!!!!

Funny - we call my step dad Bruce-i-fer!

I want to thank everyone for coming to the show last Saturday! I just wish I'd had more time to visit with everyone. and I missed the photo Oh well, next year. Or maybe we can schedule an Arizona Thread picnic/potluck sometime later in the spring.

Mikey--I love the shirt--I wore it for awhile--but it got too hot on top of my other shirt. Thank You SO, SO much for all your effort at getting them and then printing them. You are AWESOME!

I hope everyone had a great time

Thank you kindly Miss Silkie!

Had to get my incubator clean out for this.................

12 Chinese Langshan
4 LF Partridge Wyandottes
16 Swedish Flower Hens
18 EE's

the quail eggs I got when I ordered the incubator are still in there. They should hatch in about a week but I'm not going to increase humidity. I don't want to endanger the chick eggs.



These are going to hatch in plenty of time for me to set a batch for the Easter Hatch

How cool is that!!!

--- no incubator for Mikey, no incubator for Mikey, no incubator for Mikey, no incubator for Mikey, no incubator for Mikey...

Just keep saying it & maybe it'll come true...

Thanks! I will have to give them a call and see if they have any! ..oh wow... Just put in google search for Superstition Feed and what happened with the co-owner (Tim Stevenson) came up. WOW! I am a cat lover to the core, I can't believe he brutally attacked the cat with a shovel! The police report says he did it at the feed store! My stomach has officially become violently ill. Any other places that might sell EEs?

Shoppers said they will have chicks this Friday and this time they will know what they ordered. 480-646-1026

Higley feed has had chicks every time I've gone there. 480-988-2419

B-B feed also has had chicks most of the times I've been there. 480-982-4453

Quote: I like Higley feed and Mesa feed barn. I got EEs at Mesa feed barn and they laid blue eggs. They came from Ideal Hatchery.

Adens Hay Oasis usually has EE'ers and so does the Ace Hardware at Chandler Heights and Gilbert Rd. Ace gets 60 chicks in every Friday. The owner Tom is very nice and knows a lot about chickens. He usually has EE's, RIR's and BR's

You KNOW you are going to build one--a most awesome stainless steel welded cabinet incubator with a lexan door so you can watch how they are doing, and all sorts of innovative features. It will lower your cost per chick to about $500

Thank you all for all the info on the EE chicks! This place is truly a wealth of info because of the amazing members it has!

Oh! And good morning to all of you! Today, I hope to finish the chicken coop (started it yesterday)!. I will post pics. My husband is responsible for all measurements and design. I married one smart cookie!!

I was really confused at first, too. My Ameraucanas lay the prettiest blue eggs. I love them! Are you building the coop BY YOURSELF??

I wish I could do that! I'd actually like to add about 24 sq ft more to my run and get a couple more hens. I've been a chicken mama for 8.5 months now and I have RESISTED chicken math. But, now I think I may give in.

I also want a tiny coop for tiny Seramas! *sigh* We saw them at the show, what else can I say?
