Arizona Chickens

Good for you - who needs a treadmill or a gym when you have chickens and chicken projects to do, right?

So True! I have lost some weight since we got chickens, too busy to snack! (Except while sitting here on the computer chatting with BYC-ers!

Yes, offering up the waste (in the middle of the field away from coops) makes sense in many ways.

How are your duck babies?

Stuffing themselves! I forgot and left the light on last night, so when I went out there this morning they were full, water and food, gone! They have doubled in size in one week. 7 weeks until "Bad Boyz, Next Gen" harvest! I am out of Barred Holland cockerels to eat. The Bad Boyz, are also eaten. So, when the next batch comes of age, we will be hungry!

Chickens develop your strength. What other hobby requires you to lift 40 - 50 pounds daily, or semi-weekly? Get up at dawn and get going to let them out, pick up eggs, rake poop, and on and on . . .
My neighbor with very bad arthritis in her knees, gets it done, for her birds! She is 76, and her chicken keeping Mom is 101. Good for you, to keep chickens!

@Geckolady got a Dorking pullet egg before she even left here this morning.

They like what we do not even want, any way, heads, guts, bones. I sometimes put these items down in the wash for the Javalina and Coyotes. Keep them down there in the wash, is my thinking.

Well, all 7 of the Silver Grey Dorking's left for new homes this morning, including the cockerel. You all missed me chasing him around with the fishing net.

I didn’t miss anything. 👁 saw it all with my own eyes. so there is my emoji binge for the week

But, it didn't happen if there is no video . . .

I have a channel on Bitchute but I don’t post videos of other people. I am currently being sued by one of my chickens, she claims that I posted video of her without her consent. I don’t think the case will go anywhere, but with our crazy judicial system, she might win! I’m trying to keep her placated with scratch grains and black soldier fly larvae, but we’ll see what happens

The next door neighbor's that was letting you use their fishing net to help just brought me 3 of the 50# bag's of my pellet feed. I'll be animal sitting for them again shortly. The husband has his eye on a couple of my Aloha pullet's.
