Tucson area folks, bulk feed order

It may have been too late (I think today is the deadline), but I just placed an order with the Phoenix bulk feed order. Did anyone else from the Tucson area order? I'd love to split costs for the drive. If my order was accepted, I'll be driving our Prius to pick it up, and would be happy to pick up others orders, too.

If anyone is interested please PM/email me. I can't keep up with this thread!

Cheers!

Hola! I have a friend who needs to get rid of an annoying rooster. He's a bit territorial, as is common to the dutch breed. The only pic he sent me was this one, so I suppose it's one of the roosters you see here.

PM me if you are interested!

Hi Tanichca

Don't need any roosters here. But the 2 cockerels with buzz cuts are mischievously adorable!!

Questions on pullets.  I have two pullets that are suppose to be 4-5 months old.  They still cheep.  Neither will get out of the coop on their own and they also won't get back in on their own.  When do they start doing this by themselves?  I have to hunt them down at night, listening for the cheeping to find them, so I can get them back into the coop.  My standard sized breeds did this on their own after about 8 weeks. 

getting them back schould be easy, just show them some dried meal
worms or a piece of bread... When I want them to come we will
bring them a treat & say "Girls! Want some treats..
They know what I am saying and come running!
Smart little stinkers..

Yeah, people say chickens are dumb. They're not dumb. They're just extremely focused.

Great idea. I used meal worms to teach them how to use the water nipples so why not going back to the hen house.

YES Please !!! Heather has also offered me the use of her jack hammer. Gosh, this is starting to look like it might be possible, thanks to all of you wonderful people. It will be sometime next month before I am ready for it. Is that all right? Heather said I could pick up the jack hammer at the same time.

My SFH's and EO's are getting ready to lay. All of this ground pounding is to set up their breeding pens. Also to put in a laying flock yard for my daughter. You two are first in line for fertile eggs when the time comes if you want !!!
