Well I'm not really in Marana, I'm in the County---but Marana's town limits actually touchs a corner of my property :/
I've got a lot of chicks for sale right now, from newly hatched to a month old. Some are pullets, some are straight run (chicks not sexed).
PM me if interested.

I think I'm technically in the county too, but marana address

MaddBaggins, those are very cool looking! Did you get those from Ballistic Fab or elsewhere? Just curious what they weigh, approx? Also, how strong are they, very rigid or bend easily?

well, it was nice "knowing" all of you. i am probably about to get myself banned for something that someone else did and i spoke up about.

BUYER BEWARE is the motto around here, punish the innocent, let the crooks keep on. Go ahead, take my money. Thief!

Your comments looked pretty tame to me...

they are already removing my posts on her ads. i put up another one this morning in addition to negative feedback. blast her for taking that much $$$$ and never sending me my chicks.

that really burns my butter and more so that the mods won't help me.

Early this morning, I moved the chicks from inside the house to the small coop on my back porch, for those of you who know my setup. I had cleaned it all out and put clean bedding in it. The food was put in to the feed hopper and everyone took to that immediately. I left the last of the medicated water in there so they could finish it off, too. I was going to refill it and run one more day of it, but instead, the chicks found the watering nipples and have taken a strong preference to those. I hadn't even shown them how to use them yet! So now, the regular waterer has sat completely untouched from the looks of it. It definitely makes my life easier, but that was quite unexpected.

I managed to finish plumbing in the nipple system for the new coop today. I didn't finish any of the other stuff, like center of the roof or the door, but it's functional for now. I'll have to make progress with that next week. The water was the most important part. I let them free-range this afternoon and had to put every last one of them back inside tonight. Batman laid an egg in the nesting box, but decided that wasn't the place to roost, I guess. The three Black Coppers and New Hampshires kept going up the ramp trying to fly through the door. Boy, I wish I had video of that! Maybe tomorrow...

MadBaggins: Those laser drops are gorgeous. I'm going to have to find out where to get some in town. Lady Kota is mighty lucky to be getting those from you, and I'm sure she'll put them to good use. I am anxious to see those photos now!


Oh, and day two of not losing any more chicks. Hopefully, we're done with that phase of the problems and everything gets better from here!

lol
She was joking. Those are all mine.

Yup, Ballistic.. $20/sheet. They are are fairly heavy. I'm a pretty big guy and I can't pick them up alone. I can drag them around but if I have to actually lift them, I need help. Depends on what was cut out of them as to whether they will bend easy. None of them are the same.

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while , he unfortunately passed away after a surprisingly 6 days

Yes I was thinking the same thing? Where did you say we can get some of those ??
