Arizona Chickens

Here is the infamous Sham, which is now 18 weeks old. Is he a he or a she? I keep going back and forth. None of my other hens have such a broad comb!

Where would one call to report to? Thanks

You would report it to the Animal Control office

Read this today and thought it was super cute, and sooo true!!!

Ode on Chicken Math
​

If and when you get a hen, make sure in time she gets a friend.
That friend will bring a friend or three and you could have some roos for free!

With roosters comes the rooster dance ...a shuffle, a wing, it's a grand romance.
And romanced hens make lots of babies, and babies get you baby crazy.
So now you’re in the baby trance, all this fuss from a rooster dance.

They all need food so you’re off to the farm store later (we know what that means)
As a chicken keeper you should always say ‘no’ to the incubator!

Well OK finally, Thanks SS. From the start I said he was a cockerel but then he started to look hennish. Geeze, Kind of sad. I can't keep him now! He is the one my Short Story was about.

Speaking of chickens indeed! Did anyone else read this in the paper this morning?

I have driven by them plenty of times as it is near my workplace and never knew exactly what they were. One day would love to stop and see what is all about.
