Arizona Chickens

[City farm]

Hey all! Haven't been on in a long long long while. I lost a few beeps this summer and it made me sad. But having just finished my new run for the two still left, I'm looking to round out the flock again with two or three more ladies!

I could grab some chicks from the store but I thought I'd reach out here first to find out if anyone is in need of a home for younger pullets or hens who are still strong layers, happy to pay for them ... I'd rather support y'all here first before i go buy any.

Thanks!

PM Or even just text me 480-five-22-four four four three

Hope everyone is doing well. I am also hoping I can get back into chickening with you guys. I miss the sense community and positivity.

Cheers!

1606 East Apache.. 6pm.. All are welcome..

This morning "Tiny" tried to give "Fluffy" a peck..She chased her down. "Fluffy" our 20 year old kitty must of tried to get one of the French Bresse chick's. She used to bring home bird's, sometimes half eaten.. Fluffy would go on walks around the neighborhood with me when I walked the dogs, the mocking bird moma's would swoop down and go after her all the time.. So, this week & a half I have been putting D.E. in the cat food. They are not happy & probably hungry.. All 3 Breese babies are still alive..

Here is our infamous fluffy, & the 2 silver Swedish duck's in their roasting pan..

Speaking of cats... seven kittens born today! All cute as buttons... and all mistakes, because apparently, some unfixed tom has been wandering around our property since Momma cat last gave birth. We thought she was safe for a few months until she wasn't nursing anymore, but nooooo, more babies. We're drowning in cats!

I'd love to take some kitties off your hands, but my hound is a bobcat, mountain lion hunter and she aparenlty can't tell the difference between a pet cat and a bobcat, all cats to her :/

it takes a really long time to catch up on posts if you havent logged on since spring.
we are at the very tail end of purchasing a larger home with land in AJ. supposed to sign papers monday, then again, we were supposed to sign papers weeks ago. *sigh* I've been reading up on zoning out there and looks like where we are buying i cant have my rooster. thats pretty distressing because out of my 7 chickens, he's the one i love most, the big baby is almost 4 years old and i've raised him from the egg so, i am very interested in the no crow collar i have been reading about here. please post if you have it and it works for you, and if it doesnt why do you think that is. my guy rarely crows and when he does its very deep (compared to the many roosters i've had before him) he also has to crook his neck and tilt his head way left, he looks hilarious.
anyway, hi everyone! i know i always promise to participate more when i show up, then i never do. so no promises this time. i love love love reading this thread tho and it always brings me back to my goals.
