Arizona Chickens

Quote: Same. The trio lives by themselves right now in a pretty big area, howeeveerrrrr any time they see a girl they all mob her . I need to get them a flock of girly girls.

Is why i'm looking into a batch of chicks (Hopefully from ACE Hardware or OK or something close). So by August they will be old enough and wise enough and the babies will be big enough to live with them.

This isn't really related to chickens but....


Does anyone know of any mastiff breeders or mastiffs for sale in arizona? We need a new family dog and we love mastiffs but and can't find any.

Try the rescues? I forget the names, but search Petfinder, FB, etc.

Does anyone know of an ACE hardware in Tucson that is selling baby chickens as of now or very soon?

The itch is unbearable, I need babies XD 

(Besides I just got an outdoor brooder, how can I resist the available empty space??)

Pet club here has had them.

I'm thinking of ordering again soon. Need more girls!

Yes, a few of the ACE hardware stores don't receive them during the winter. Supposedly, ACE has a "Main Station" where they receive all their chicks, and then they are distributed throughout the various stores in Tucson. --BB

I let the three 5 week old chicks left from my NY Day hatch loose with the hens today. All went well. I'm glad to get them out of my house. Now, I will have to start getting things ready for my next incubator hatching of my Black Australorp chicks from Kurt that will be sent to me this week sometime.

Will someone please tell me about your experiences with no-crow collars...

We hatched 5 chicks on 11/19 and at least one, and maybe three are roosters...
One for sure is trying to crow, the others.. are being suspiciously quiet

I just can't keep a rooster, the noise ordinances make a rooster illegal.
but these little ones, are the friendliest chicks, i've ever had...
They come running, and if we don't bring them into their warm nest early enough,
they perch on my kitchen pass through....
YEAH... that's another problem I will have to solve soon enough.

I have to teach them to roost in the coop, not on my porch..

I've never used one myself, havn't had to, HOWEVER I have heard they are very, VERY touchy.

A hair too tight, and the bird could strangle itself.

A hair too loose, and it wont do it's job.

Yo've gotta be a true OCD Goldilocks to get it rjuuuust right.

Im not saying anythign against them, they do work for some people, but I would be wary, just in case
