Arizona Chickens

[BlueBaby]

I've never heard of condors being predatory. They are normally carrion eaters. They are the biggest bird on this continent, though, bigger than our eagles. And not likely to come into urban areas.

Ok, thank's! I figured that you would be the best person that I know of to ask about them.

Sad news. One of the chicks go caught in Emma’s feathers and strangled. I feel so bad. The first chick I lost.

Sorry that happened to you! This is the first time that I ever head of that happening.

Condors live at the Grand Canyon. So they're already in Northern Arizona. There aren't many of them at all anywhere, and yes they're scavengers.

I'm so sorry.

Found this today and holy cow my chicks went absolutely bananas for it! I put a little in my hand, called "heeeyyyyyy chickie chick" and put my hand down in their brooder. At first they didn't know what to do with it, but they figured it out pretty quickly! It was hilarious. They were climbing all over my hand and arm, grabbing meal worms and then taking off running with them. Goofy chickens.

@Michelle Guynn So sorry this happened. This is also why you don't use those feather dusters as a way to make it more natural for your chickies. So sorry.

I hope you're providing grit because they can't break down whole grains without it.

Yes, they've been getting chick grit in their scratching dirt for about a week.
