Arizona Chickens

[Mikey D]

Welcome to the AZ thread!

My little ones are 4 and 5 weeks old now and it's time to send them out into the big world. (they are starting to smell up the place) I think this weekend they will permanently live in the Lil Chick Inn.

On another note not dealing with chickens, my son was deployed to Bahrain. He got there today. Waiting to hear what he thinks of the place. Keep good thoughts for him. He will be there 6-9 months.

Our prayers with your son and good luck with the chickies!

Mine have been out in the tractor (and then back in under the heat lamp) for several days now.

They seem to love it outside.

What they don't love is when I come over with the big purple tupperware and round them all up!

I'm so sorry!!!

Hi again fellow AZ chicken people
Well, today was a really, REALLY bad day here.
I was taking the new chicks outside into the garden area for some sunshine.
I set up their cage and (it's a long story) Flash, one of my girls, got into the main yard.
Our dog killed her. I am soooooooooooooooo upset. I have been crying nearly all day.
It is my fault that she got killed and I feel like CRAP. I thought I would share the
Reader's Digest version w/all of you here. I am guessing that you'd understand.

I think most people I know just don't "get" it.

I'm going to build a grow out pen / tractor and would like suggestions for cool features.

We saw this one on the Tour De Coop & I'd like something similar (out of steel of course

)





Hints? Tips? Suggestions?

Stacy,

Don't beat yourself up. These things happen... and in the future, you'll be careful where you let your hens roam.

ALL OF US have learned lessons the hard way.
