Arizona Chickens

Not all do, but these Silver Grey Dorking pullet's are different. 4 of the 7 just started laying egg's, so the other 3 should start soon also.

Most I have had do. Nice calm birds will. Leghorns not so much -- the sex-links do, and the NNs.

Aww, i feel special

They have been picked up a lot, and learned that they have to put up with us!

What is funny, after getting checked over, the hen will shake just like after the Rooster's done with her. Then, my rooster will get busy on that hen!

I probably couldn't process my excess boys, either. Big Ben is a sweetie who lets me stroke his feathers. No signs of aggression at all, but he was probably held a lot before he came here. He has a home here for life. His sons might be in big trouble.

I want to plant more peach trees, but they haven't shown up in the stores yet. This is zone 7a, so it might help to wait a few weeks. Chances are good that we're done with snow for the year.

Oh tractor supply has them here. I got an apple, peach, Washington orange, and blueberries. Everything is taking off nicely.

Do chickens usually squat for humans? Or is it atypical?

My amberlinks did, the sapphire gem & turkens not so much, but the leghorns and andalusians didn't / don't squat at all. So apparently it depends?

I do feel like my chickens love me. Daisy came to my rescue when Elsa bit me today..

Excellent! I didn't think to check TS. Thanks!

And you must be loved. Mine don't squat for me.

Yay, rain for the last 2 hours.. very light and steady.. i hope it goes through the night and morning at least. I imagine it potentially being our last rain til monsoons.

Looks like about 2" of snow here this morning.
