Arizona Chickens

Time to show off my babies. They grow too quickly for sure. Was a nice day out, so I put them in their new home for the day. They enjoyed jumping on their roost. The big girls didn't seen to care that they were around.

L-R
Veronica (BR) Roberta (SLW) Zsa Zsa (SLW)- 18 days old
Olivia and Eliza (EE's)- 25 days old


Cooper (10 months) got to "play" with the babies yesterday. He grunts at them to call them. They are faster than he is.





Hubby took this one. I was sitting on the floor with the girlies and they all jumped on my arm.
Love my BYC shirt. Thanks Mikey.

My pleasure!

I am always amazed at how you can get those peepers to pose for you like that!

I'm going to check your page to get a full shot of your coop. Is there a grow out pen in it too?

Thank you for the kind thoughts. My 5 year old now has it, too. It's gonna be a loooong night.

I had a really busy day today. This morning, I got up early and headed out to 'Market on the Move', and came home with a ton of veggies. I spent about three hours snapping green beans, chopping, and stewing tomatoes, and then I cleaned the chicken coop.

I started going to Market on the Move recently, and would highly recommend it to any Phoenix or Tucson area peeps. The group that runs it gets produce from distributors that are about to chuck it out because it needs to be eaten now, and not in a week or so, pick over it and remove all of the spoiled food, and on Saturdays (and the occasional Friday and Sunday) set up in a parking lot where its sold for really cheap. And by really cheap, I mean that ten bucks gets you sixty pounds of veggies, and for a hundred bucks you can buy a membership that lets you get veggies for a whole year. The only downside is that its total luck of the draw as far as what you get, but its all in season and good quality. So, if you don't mind waiting in line, and you can use a whole bunch of veggies, or can split an order with a friend or neighbor, its worth checking out. The website is:
