Arizona Chickens

Wow! Amazing coops and coops in progress everyone. We ended up kicking the chicks outside yesterday. They smell up the place way to fast when there is that many.
 
Mikey: I'll be going to the Market on the Move in Chandler as well. Maybe I'll see you there! I'm going to try to get there around 7:30, so that I don't have to wait in line as long.

Turkeybreeder: I got a ton of cabbages there last week, so I think it just depends. They do seem to have a lot of tomatoes, which is fine with me, since I love tomatoes. My chickens also love tomatoes, but I just give them the scraps.

Agreed!!!

That's why ours are now outside too!

Cool. I don't know if we'll be there by 7:30 - sleep in time is at a premium!
 
Kev,
let's hope I have that extra pullet for you, but she will come with a roo! It was seriously driving me crazy so I went back and got every last one.

SherrieT,
out of 11 basque, only 1 has yellow legs and I think it is a pullet. The rest look slate. The colors are all over the place.
 
Congrats, Its a cute one!! I love the odd balls!!!

Well gang I got peepers! By this morning I have 5 hatched and looks like 3 more breaking out. So far out of the 14 from Aurorarose. One is a mystery! It had a hard time getting out of the egg, I noticed that the membrain was a bit heavy so I gentle help and the chick is alright so far BUT it was hatched with a big lump on the head! Aurorarose did you give me a mini emu?

Here is a picture of this chick. I will send a picture of the other peepers when they are fluffy and ready for pictures.

Something just occurred to me. Do you think Mothra (my aggressive 2 day old EE) is just being protective over her (his?) "flock"? Think maybe she was just trying to defend the rest of the chicks and poults she is brooded with? Because Mothra is peaceful with the other chicks and poults in her brooder. Or perhaps Mothra is just aggressive and dominant by nature? Hmmmm.... I still have so much to learn about chickens.
