Arizona Chickens

[generaldsherman]

Hello! Is there anyone in the Tucson or sahuarita area that is or will be selling marans chicks or leghorn chicks? Thanks

may have extra leghorns after nov 22, if hatch is successful. Send pm and I'll let you know if they hatch.

Oh & by the way we need to find that treasure trove of banana plant's . Hope you remember where that dude told us to go??@Sill

I don't!

I only know the general area. Maybe we can drive around and find it?

We had our first 4-H meeting tonight. I don't know if we will ever be poultry experts, but I suspect this is going to be a fun journey to take the flock on

You will! Everyone started their poultry adventure as novices and learned a lot as they go. I love 4-H for kids. I wish more kids were in the programs.

I feel the same way. In fact, I wish I had gotten my son into 4-H when he was younger. I think it would've been really good for him, but, alas....I didn't even know what 4-H was until my son was about 9 years old. My husband would occasionally mention his own 4-H experiences in his youth, but I'd never even heard of it when growing up, and based on my husband's stories for the longest time I thought it had something to do exclusively with horses. I know...naive and ignorant. I guess that's the cost of having grown up in a non-farming community out east.

Never a dull day here in Tempe at our city farm.
Female woodpecker






We did cover her up. .she has already drank water and was making a nest.

I am assuming there is something wrong with her or you wouldn't have caught her. If so, can you get her to a wildlife rehab place? Most wild birds are protected and it might not be legal to keep her in captivity unless you are a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Hello,
I am new to the forum and am looking to get some ducks. Are there any duck breeders in Arizona or Phoenix area? Thanks for any help.

don't feel so bad, you're not the only one that's a little naïve. Learn what you can when you can and enjoy that moment for the moment you're in it!

@City farm she may know of someone or something who does.
@houdiniduck may have some ducks or info also!

I may know of a man that has some that he lets people dig out after the irrigation comes from time to time but that's in North West Mesa. I still have some orange cana's that I need to share with some people versus throwing them into the trash. P.m. me if you're interested.

@Sill and @City farm
Between the visit from Sill to help me put to sleep then put down my mascot and our favorite white leghorn named Chickle's 's yesterday and the phone call to and from city farm, I realized I've met some of the best people around on BYC, just to name a few of many!!!

Sill gave me a unique gift that smells kind of like a sweet lemon zest and looks like the texture of the lemon but almost reminds me of fruit that could be potential he called a yellow jellyfish, I can't remember the name of it to save my skin, and there's a problem with me trying to post a picture at the moment so... I'll send you guys a picture later when I can do it from my iPhone!

@CityFarm I did not get a new SLW, the person had said his were loud and was wanting to bu yone. I have a roo I am trying to unload. Ever since piggy died, I have been trying to get a new SLW hen....

@nickcole I have pekings and some rouen/300's in the incubator right now, ducklings due by the 25th of this month, and a friend of mine not on here will have some Muscovy available here soon, she caught her hen on a nest after she disappeared, so we aren't sure when they are due. Send me a PM and we can keep in touch until fuzzy butts come! Where are you located?

Tammy runs a duck rescue in the Phoenix area: [email protected]
I spoke with her a short while back and believe she has ducks to place in homes.

Agreed. That is a red shafted flicker.
