Too hot to ship. Postal regs require max temps of 85 degrees at both ends.

Where do you get your information?

So this is fairly off topic but....I went to feed store to pick up chick starter and met a really nice fellow chicken lover. She's looking for Russian Orloff and Faverolles in the East Valley. Any sources? I too, have yet to see these breeds.

I breed Spangled Russian Orloffs but I'm in Tucson, This breed does not take the heat as well as some others, may not be a good choice for up in Phoenix area.

Happy 4th all!! Hope you've had a safe, relaxing day!

Since Boss Hogg started laying on Tuesday, I've had 3 eggs in 3 days from her. And additionally, today I had the first egg from Rosco! What a bunch of champs!!

Boss Hogg's is on the left, Rosco on the right...

Hmmmm, I ordered the 15 brown egg layer assortment from Meyer Hatchery. They didn't refuse my order. Surely (Shirly!) they will hold the chicks at the post office just like the mealworms I received last week. All alive and happy. I certainly don't want the chicks to be put onto a postal delivery truck all day in this heat, then left on my front porch (like the 2 previous orders of mealworms... all dead and not happy). I will take off work the day they're arriving to pick them up at the post office and be sure to get them to a safe temp.

Nice!!! I usually get 2 a day right now but one of my girls didn't lay today....she has a habit of laying in the early afternoon, and I think the heat just didn't agree with her today. I also think one of my Black Australorps is gonna start laying soon, her comb and waddles have went red and she's starting to squat when you pet her.....
