Arizona Chickens

My two new barred rock hens! They are the same exact age and yet there is a huge difference in size, it dumbfounds me.

We always have one or 2 that grow slower, though they seem to catch up around the 2-3 month mark

Got 18 barred rocks in the incubator yesterday, pics in about 3 weeks!

One more tidbit of info for anyone considering selling "Nest Run" eggs in AZ. If you applied for and received permission to use the "Arizona Grown" logo you can't use it on nest run egg cartons because it implies the eggs are "Local." I plan to use the logo on vegetable products we'll sell and it's ok for that. I called the Dept. of Ag this morning just to verify.

MY 5 WEEK OLD WYANDOTTE IS A FEATHER PICKER !

She is causing baldness and bleeding on my 6 week old polish.... please help? I have doused the poor polish is bitter yuck spray, and she STILL pecked and ATE the feathers *sobs*. I covered her bleeding pores in Bacatracin, and separated the wyandotte for the night (Their seperated depressed cheeps are very sad, but im ****** that she is pecking my beautiful bird..... :/ )

Is there anything else I can do? I dont think they are going to shut up all night, or at night at all if they are separated, but I cant stand to see my Polish bird bleeding and bald, just when she is starting to get her feathers , they have to be separated.

Does she have room to run? They might need more room.. Or get rid of the feather picker. Separation. .

I have a question.
I have two 4 week old chicks in my bed room and they have a lamp with just a regular lightbulb mostly for lighting purposes. But my question is will they be ok if I have the window open at night in my room? It's 45-50 degrees at night where I am, and the top of their box is mostly covered.

I know you can have hens but not roosters within Tucson city limits, but does anyone know the chicken/rooster laws outside Tucson city limits? I've been trying to look them up and thus far have found nothing. My favorite "pullet" (the one in the photo) just started crowing...

Google Pima County zoning ordinances.
