Arizona Chickens

You sure inspired me!
I have started hanging out at Home Depot and Lowes lumber department and have now have an incredible collection of lumber. My coops is going to be designed around what lumber I have.
Plan on using screws and make several small coops for breeding pens. This should make them portable enough for when I move this summer. The screws will be affordable since I'm saving so much money on lumber.

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!!

It'd be worth calling ACE Hardware on Power and Chandler Heights as well as Chandler Heights and Gilbert. They both carry chicks. The one on Power gets chicks in every week. You may be able to take to them about getting EE if they don't have any.

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

We started our chicken coop yesterday. We only had a small list of items to build it. A saw, an electric drill, lumber, a measuring tape, a marker pen, concrete 4x4 footers, and screws. Thankfully I married a math man who figured all measurements and design! I sure as hell couldn't do it. I would've ended up redneckin' it.

This is what it looked like at the beginning of the day (all lumber from Home Depot scrap box, totaling around 75.00, though we have WAY more then enough lumber!)


My handsome husband and youngest child, my son, building the floor! This was a perfect family project!


This is what it looked like at days end (my poor hunny had to leave for work right after I took this pic, night shifter at Intel). We still have the walls, windows, roof, fill in the flooring, list goes on... but we are getting there! My husband is 6'2 tall, so this is one tall coop! This is our very first building project, and we had no idea what we were doing. We just winged it (that is why I give all credit to my very smart husband! LOL). This coop is made with lots of love

Novaleigh,

WOW! Great start on the coop! And hey, isn't that redwood?!! How fantastic is that? I'll be looking forward to seeing it all come together.

I honestly have no idea what kind of wood it is. It sure is beautiful though! And really dense wood! That is the really cool thing about getting lumber from discount section of lumber, you get some really good stuff at super cheap!

It sure looks like redwood to me. Next time you go to HD, look at the prices of that compared to pine.

Which makes it even more fantastic that you got it for the price that you did.
