Why wouldnt they ship chickens they are one of the biggest poultry distributers in the US.

I think they were asking because of the heat. Shipping anything LIVE to Phoenix usually stops in the summer here. I was surprised to read that they shipped them to you as well. Maybe they'll put an ice pack in the box. Lol.

I will take some hens, how old are they and what breed?? and the MOST important question are they healthy lol.

This was posted to a FB group I'm in. Thought I'd re-post it here. Enjoy.

Strange, I've been reading about rainwater harvesting on a web site by a guy named Brad Lancaster, I wonder if it's the same guy? Interesting list of plants!

I took a load to my new place in Avra Valley, then was heading into town to get some feed at OK Feeds. Took Avra Valley Rd across to Silver bell and headed south, just north of Cortaro Rd my clutch decided its useful life was done. Tow truck to my Marana house was $67, unloading my truck into the driveway was lots of fun in the rain! Got a new clutch kit off eBay for $135, but it won't deliver 'til Monday, so I'm charging the battery on the Harley as we speak.
My chicken run was flooded, but since it wasn't coming down on their heads, the chickens seemed to like it.

That's a bummer about the clutch. Stuff like that always seems to happen at the worst possible moment.

Ok, I just want to make a quick point about the newish @ thingy. I think it's a great way to let people know you're talking about them without quoting them on something, but it has to be done right or the notice doesn't get sent. First add the @ symbol, but don't move the cursor over a space before you type the first couple/few letters of the person you're referring to. When you type the first letters a box appears with names close to the alphabetical order that you're seeking. Add more letters until the name appears, when you find the name click on it and it will highlight as blue. If you just type the name it won't turn blue, you have to click on it in the box. If it doesn't turn blue, the person won't get the notification. E.g.: @City farm

ETA: of course you have to get the right person.

I just sent a notice to CityFarm, who lives in Twin Falls.
