Arizona Chickens

Cool! What breed did you get?

I have a sapphire egger with blue eggs, a EE with green eggs, silver laced Wyandotte who is in the hospital ward with a hurt leg, 3 mottled Orpington laying pale tan eggs. 4 roosters in there that all love each other. I have 4 turkins in the grow out pen to add and tha sapphire bluebell went broody and hatched out 2 also in the grow out pen. Them and I think I’m between 50 and 60 silkies.

It sound's like you were lucky to be able to get a good piece of land up there to be able to have that many chicken's after you moved from AZ. I bet your hubby is happy to be able to have bigger egg's for breakfast now. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!

@Suzyqschickens Are you going to join in on the 2021 New Year's Day Hatch-a-long? If you are, you'll need to set your egg's on December 11th.

All those pictures of cute little chicks--where is the add to cart button?

Big Ben is crowing, the coyotes are howling, and the dogs have been barking since 5 am. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Yes, those definitely came from here. I'll be letting more of my dark legged one's go, if I can find the Buff NN's with the yellow leg's for breeding with Manoa. Right now I only have one that I need for the project, and she's still too young.

I am glad to have these but the Rooster has left holes in their skin when mounting them. Plus the other girls will peck on a bite mark on their necks. I am setting up a area for them in the run so they can heal.

What breed is your rooster? I have heard that you can trim or file down a roosters spur's if you need to.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and hubby too!

yes we have 3 acres and neighbors are fairly far away so no issues.
Hubby loves the eggs. Haven’t bought store eggs in about 6 months.

Do you still have Hazel? Her 2 sister's are still alive next door to me, but they are molting now.

He is a bielefelder, it’s not his Spurs, but beak. Eva was getting leaked on when she was trying to lay an egg from, can you believe it= Fawn. She had a mark on her neck, that took a bit to heal then Rojeir started mounting Eva. I keep an eye on her & the 2 other N.N. Girls.

Was Fawn trying to fight Eva over the nest box because she wanted to lay an egg too there?
