Arizona Chickens

[MaddBaggins]

hey can you post close ups of the foundation on your set up? we are trying to figure out what would work best and i suggested cinder block, just unsure how to place it. are boards sitting on top of block? or is bllock just surrounding the bottom?

I buried the hardware cloth about 4" into the dirt and surrounded the outside edge with the blocks. I had the blocks leftover from the wall an it seemed like a good way to use them.

Coming in late on the Olive Egger conversation, but I bred a couple that lay a nice olive, the one I kept lays almost an Army green, by putting a Barnvelder roo over Easter Eggers. I haven't seen the one that NotinOz has recently, but the one I kept looks very much like a Barnvelder hen, but with muffs and beard and a slightly more upright stance. I *love* the double lacing on the feathers.

And now to go collapse, I went to my step-brother's wedding on Saturday, which was in Sierra Vista. A four hour car ride isn't fun when you're 7 months pregnant

* I know the feeling. I came into this thread late. I'm just trying to figure out where everyone lives. I'm in the far NW Valley of Phoenix by Lake Pleasant. *

Some of my chicks should be olive eggers.
