Arizona Chickens

Is that a curtain or a screen in the back ground?



There is a roll of bamboo "fencing" strung outside the back welded wire fence (two-fold purpose - gives them shade from the afternoon sun and keeps the chickens out of the sight of the doberman's next door).  There is camo cloth over the top, and what shows in the picture is actually just shadows!


Ok, yeah now I see how it is.. I like the idea if the camo cloth.. :highfive:
 
I am looking for couple of cockerels 3-6 weeks old ideally, if you live in Phoenix and have some to spare, please pm me.

Man I have two cockerels I need to get rid of. A 3 week old barred rock and a 6 week old SLW. BUT I live about 4 hours from Phoenix. I do come down often but i wasn't planninga trip anytime soon. If you really want them maybe we could meet in Globe.
ETA-I also have a friend who is overrun with cockerels all in the age range you're looking for I know one is an EE and I think she has RIR or buff corps not sure of the others.

It didn't even hit quite 100 here today, and I lost 3 hens, presumably to the heat. That was quite a shock. I don't usually turn the misters on until it gets hotter, and the one pen where 2 died has no mister anyway. The only thing I can think is, it got hot so suddenly. We have had a relatively mild May so far, and just came out of a nice cool spell, then the temp. really soared today.
Last year, I did lose a few birds, but it was when it got up to 110 degrees and had been consistently hot for a month or more. I am just surprised. I lost an Orloff, an olive-egger, and a Rhode Island Red. Not a mark on them or anything wrong, they just keeled over in the late afternoon.
 
In northern Pima Co, it hit 106 today. Supposed to be about the same tomorrow.

Many years ago, but about this time of year, I was living in Phoenix, and driving to work, listening to the radio. The weather report came on, and I cracked up when the announcer said "continued warm and sunny, for the next six months or so"!

I'm getting rid of my ornamental pond and setting up an aquaponics system. I still have one koi to give away. I think it's a female, 9 inches or so in length. I don't remember how old this fish is but she appears to be healthy and a bit on the fat side since she is stealing all the food from my tilapia and goldfish. PM me for more info.

I have one, I believe (since it is an auto sexing breed), welsummer but he's only about a week old. I could keep him until he's bigger though. I'm in Mesa.
 
I am almost finish, and my meds are starting to work, so I am both feeling and think better.

It seems that my girls may have a home, so demo will no be stuck with them.

This is one of the chicks I am taking, but I am 90% sure it is a cockerel
