Arizona Chickens

Terri I havent seen your chicks yet well I can only speak for mine but in the summer after it get to 100 ive had no problems with even my 1 day olds being out in the nursery outside . they have plenty of shade during the day and they all cuddle at night and since its still 80 out at midnight here no problems with them getting cold. Now if we get a cold front come I put the heat light out for them..

babies are growing by leaps and bonds, I love watching them change week from week. Im still looking for some splash hint hint

Silkies are very loving and even the roos and caring with the babies. I dont know about other breeds

I've been working with the GSL adolescents to try to get them handle-able (is that a word?)

I've got them to where they still squawk when I pick them up but they'll set on my leg (whilst I'm sett'n in a chair) and tolerate being petted. (Remember, Mikey has 10 grandchildren and the chickens are for them - I derive no enjoyment out of them!

)

So I have one on my knee and she is very mellow and maybe even enjoying the attention when suddenly she squawks and jumps and in her place appears one of the big barred rock girls (who is also really tame and enjoys the knee)

Evidently I made one of the big girls jealous!

Now is that possible or am I anthropomorphizing?
