Arizona Chickens

Any more news on the chicks?

The chicken palace is here and in pieces. They're planning to get it off their trailer and put it together later this afternoon. It will need paint, but that can keep me busy tomorrow, LOL.

No more sign's of more emerging chick's yet. The 2 that are hatched are doing good.

Make sure you take some cold bottled water out there with you while you are painting in this heat. It also won't hurt to have some of that Gatorade to help to replenish you if you need it.

I remember when I painted my coop, and having to get up an down off of it to move the ladder. It's easier to do all of the edges about 6-inches out with the paintbrush, and then come back and connect them with a paint roller brush. I not only painted the outside, but the inside of the coop also.

@CaroleW Did the 4 NN hen's get settled in ok?

We made it! They spent nite on the front deck since I didn't want to run into the skunk I saw in the driveway in the dark. They are settled into the temporary pen and seem to be doing great! I'm so happy to have them here- thank you @BlueBaby!

Pics later - working on a deadline today for work right now.

Roger will be happy that they are there, too! The white NN/Breese, and the Cowgirl were my favorite hen's out of the darker legged NN's, but I can't use them in my project because of the leg color. I know that you will take good care of them, and will be enjoying those egg's from them.

This heat is no joke! I hope everyone (and their flocks) are staying healthy and hydrated! Just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is doing

The close up of the one in the bottom picture likes to talk, and I think that she likes people to talk to her also. She might decide to go broody again for you though.

Did any more hatch?

No, but the 2 that did hatch are already eating and drinking on their own.
