Arizona Chickens

[mckenzy]

Does anyone know where I can get food grade DE in the valley?

They've got some at the Pet Food Depot off Cave Creek and Grover's in N. Phoenix. Pricey. But I've nothing to compare the price to.

Isn't there someplace in Gilbert or south of Tempe that has vet supply's some one mentioned. If I do go to Tuscon, and not to fare out of the way maybe I could stock up on basic chicken needs. . . Worming and common diseases, right now 7-dust, Bag Balm, Vaseline, vitamins, Electrolytes, probiotics, that blue spray stuff and a general med is it. BY THE WAY: I have a skin condition for about 7 or 8 years, I know what it is not, at first I went to 2 or 3 skin doctors a year, then gave up. I've heard it said Vets are better doctors the people doctors, maybe their arsenal is a little different.

There is a place in Tucson with the biggest selection of vet supplies i've ever seen under one roof. http://www.animalhealthexpress.com/catalog/
I highly recommend them.

Also, regarding your comment about vets being better doctors than human doctors, it is ABSOLUTELY true! Human doctors only have to learn one species to treat. Vets have to learn Bovine, Equine, Caprine, Feline, Canine, Avian, Reptilian, etc. I've heard many times that human doctors couldnt make it thru vet school!

My brooder is filled with freaky mini mutant dinosaurs. That is what they look like to me anyway. Still have the other half of the hatch going....

Quote: City Farm that is very sweet of you. What are you going to hatch? Problem is we are pretty far away living in Wittmann.
Thank you all for caring!

Blue black splash marans, lavender ameraucanas and blue/chocolate ameraucana bantams.
Im pretty much sold out. Maybe a few bantams left. Too bad, I was hoping to have a splash raptor. ,8D
