Arizona Chickens

Looks pretty, but I do not see the required min of 2 bed + 2 bath house! Gotta please the spouse! We looked in the Bisby area, but were already liking the small city of Prescott. We want to be close to Prescott, but in town is too expensive. Nice place with 1/2 acre 1 mile from the courthouse, but it was 349,000!

wow golly thats a bit hi , gosh , down this way its more like 4 acres with all utilities for like 80,000 to 120,000 just a short trip 5 to 10 minutes to all the stores.

thanks all! those were all good guesses but none really fit it.
i wish i could get a photo of it but they move so fast, i've had 2 ones out here, they are skinny but really long like 4 to 5 ft, they are mostly bright pink with faded spots on the top and the head is black, but its weird looks like a mix snake or something lol

all i know is the bubus are afraid of it and theyve tried to take the eggs once but didn't get that far...

Hey, has anyone else been seeing those greenish/yellow caterpillars that look like they have a horn or something on the tail end of them? They have been so thick here for about the past 2 weeks. You can barely walk anywhere in the yard without stepping on some. They are all over the weeds. My chickens have been going nuts over them, like it's some gourmet meal!

 

[Michelle Guynn]

No I haven't seen any.

 

[igorsMistress]

Not here either
