Arizona Chickens

[BlueBaby]

I had a surprise here when I woke up today and first went out to the coop. I saw some funny looking thing that was near the top of my run, and wondered what it was. I found out that it was a Christmas present from the neighbor next door that I gave the 2 young chickens to the other day for their Christmas present. It's a custom wooden sign that she made for me that has a wooden cutout chicken that has eggs written on it in paint, and read's Barbara's Chicken Ranch! So, now I guess that my coop has been officially named!

That's cool. Sounds like an awesome neighbor!

She's a good neighbor. She moved over here from Florida. She like's working with wood projects, so her hubby pick's her up free wooden pallets left from his job. I feed their animals and collect the mail for them when they take vacation's out of town when they go see family in Texas and Florida.

It's nice to have neighbors you can trust with your animals when you're not home, so I bet they appreciate having you next door! We were never close to our neighbors until we moved out to the middle of nowhere. Everyone lives much further away (some are miles down the road) but we have a little community out here and we all get along well. One of them works at a coffee shop in town, so I trade a dozen eggs for a bag of coffee every once in a while. It's a good deal for both of us!

Yes, I have found that for the most part rural people seem to be more friendly as neighbors. I trade my egg's with them because they are also the one's that give me some of that alfalfa hay for my chickens. I can hardly wait until March when she should be getting her first eggs from that pullet that I gave to her. I remember how excited that I got over my first little egg.

Yes, it was! Now I'll have to see what she does with that coop that was left behind by the other's that moved out, now that she has those 2 chicken's in it! Her coop isn't empty no more!

That is seriously awesome! (I'm pretty sure most of my neighbors just roll their eyes and say, "Yep, she's out there talking to her birds again.")

She probably used to roll her eye's like that at me too, but then I found out that she was feeding the yard rooster's that I had over the fence until recently.

I'm curious, why the naked necks? they look like their having a serious molt or they have mites..lol.. I'm sure for hot areas it helps them keep cool.
