Arizona Chickens

I talked to the city zoning people and they said that unless somebody complains, you'd be OK with a rooster.

sorry, what they meant to say was UNTIL..........

Question for you Silkie fans...How high up and down do Silkies jump and fly safely? Partridge has jumped out the coop door the last two days. I think it's about three feet high, but she seems just fine. I wasn't home when she did it, so I haven't seen it happen. I just want to make sure she'll be ok. I think she's about fourteen weeks.

no no, no inspector. although when i told the neighbors i was building the duck chateau right up against their block wall next to their pool, he kinda went

and i said, " dude, they don't fly. ok, well maybe 2 of them do but it will have a roof on it so they won't swim in your pool. wanna dig me a pond???"
need a shot of tylan?

I will let you know if a shot is needed. You have had good practice. Had a tetanus shot last year so hopefully I am good.

Found dh's better flashlight and just went in to check on the eggs. 1 has veins

, the other is still yolk.

My older silkie girls jump down in the middle of their ramp around 14" to 18". Haven't seen them jump from the door.

From what I understand they do not fly like the other chickens. But what do I know, only had them since July..
Our rooster kent took a flying lep towards our neighbors little girl.. She was moving to fast for his likes..
He gets about 2 1/2 feet .. Maybe a little higher..
