Arizona Chickens

Hi. I'm in Cornville (near Cottonwood). Starting a flock after many years without. Any stores carry or can order natural, non-extruded, hopefully non-sprayed/organic feeds? My daughter is allergic to soy, so we are limited on what we can use. Hoping I don't have to mix my own! Thanks.

There's this place out of Texas. Maybe you can contact them and see if there's a place near you that carries it, or whatever:

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here has information on the feed stores that buy roosters? I'd heard of Pratt's pets in Glendale, then I heard of another, Gordon's Feed. I'd heard Pratts buying for $10, but that depends and they have to be a certain age (I thought she'd said three months?). I'd have to make a special trip since my flock is in the Paulden area, and I want to make it worth the while. I do wonder how they manage to resell them, I hope it isn't for cock-fighting. It's hard rehoming for $, and have always ended up giving them away, and I really need the funds right now: Coyotes... Need to make the outer fencing higher on 10 acres.

I have a TON of young roos from my olive egger project, and my mom's "I want to see what this cross looks like" project: Buff laced polish x olive egger that is Crested Cream legbar, and I am not sure the brown egg half. Super cool little roos, very interesting combs, they have a buttercup on the top half, then a straight comb for the lower. First two photos are of the oldest, and the third is of the second oldest:

They are so cool, but I have a lot of roos already, and I can't keep ones I'm not using in my Projects. Thanks for any info you have!
 
Anyone think that 3-D printed steak's and chicken nugget's are ok to eat? Would it even be healthy? Would it force everyone else to kill off their herd's and flock's, because they would no longer be needed?

I've been reading Joel Salatin's book The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs (this book has a biblical point of view-please diregard this post if this offends you)... he writes...life is so precious that it requires death...everything requires death in order to create life...everything is eating and being eaten...(pg 27)...squirt a dab of [processed food stuff] on a table and it will sit there for a year. It doesn't grow mold...it just sits there inert...it's not alive. We're the first culture...routinely eating things that have never lived...then requesting prayer for the ailments that result. (p 29).

I have read all of his books. He makes some valid points.

Yes, Pratts in Glendale will take them.. i took a couple chicks back. They will resell them. Some people do want grown birds, rather than raising them as chicks. There is also The Stock Shop, that is also in Glendale, that will buy back.
