Arizona Chickens

[bunsnpupsnchick]

Hi All! I live in the valley and have 3, 9 week old, laced polish chickens. One is a roo and usually that's ok as we sell them at the county fair in the spring. My problem is that he has started to crow! I have never had a roo start so early. I can't keep him. He is beautiful(silver laced) and he is sweet. I would be willing to deliver him to a good home

[/URL]where he would not become dinner.

Wish I could....he's handsome! I stopped by Pratt's last week & found out that they buy roosters. I guess they've people coming in & asking about them too. What they pay sounds like it depends on the size/breed type of thing. That could be an option.

If he's easily handled maybe someone who's connected with a 4h/ffa group will chime in. I don't know if he could be used for showmanship or 1 of their projects. I'd be interested in finding out that too.

FYI for anyone in the East Valley, the Superstition Ranch Market in AJ is giving away free pumpkins. They have a lot of them...so much that today someone is supposed to get a truck/trailer full. They're also trying to contact pig farmers. If anyone is interested for themselved &/chicks....they're on main/apache trail. They have colorful signs outside the store with whatever they have on special. The pumpkins that I picked up last night are still very firm. There are some with bad spots starting or broken. If you ask I'm sure they'd bring some from the back if they have them.

If I remember right pumpkin &/the seeds are natural dewormers. Either way, it's a nice healthy treat. Plus for pups if they have diarrhea or constipation a bit of pumpkin puree helps. Not to mention for those of use who like the seeds....could have piles of them! lol

There is a Mesa location too on main, but not certain if they're doing the same or not.

Figured I'd share.

Sorry replied to wrong person. Ive been looking for these, so pretty. I csn rehome the lil roo to my good friebd. Shes been looking for a boy.

I can take all the chicks @ bunsnpupsnchick my good friend need the roo. Shes been looking for one and I, some pullets.

I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood. I'm not the poster looking to rehome the polish roo. Just offered information about Pratt's & asking if anyone knew of 4h/ffa groups as a possibility. But I'm sure the original poster might be interested, which was @ las2062. I'm curious as a just in case for future.

Where is this Pratt's located at? I still have a couple of the Blue Australorp cockerels that I do not want to keep for my flock.

Unfortunately, Glendale. http://www.prattspets.com/ Looks like this weekend is customer appreciation....some sales. $8/50lb scratch, buy1 get1 pullet free, bogo for mealworms & other items too. Flyer's online under the sales tab. Long drive for some of us.

I can say...go a block or so further & Cerretta's chocolate is there....really good, local, no preservative. It's the company that makes the olive oil sea salt dark chocolate bar for the queen creek olive mill. Family run biz for decades. Let's just say that when my family visits from Florida we go there & I bring some with me when I visit. They do caramels too. Sorry....big proponent for local when possible.

Which also means the olive mill...local grown & pressed olives. Very good oil in tons of flavors. They also have recipes used in their bakery/restaurant hanging around the store. It's just a bit down/up the road from Schnepf farm in Queen Creek. I think this weekend is an event...olive harvest festival or named something like that. If you eat pork, The Pork Shop is a few miles down the road. Old fashion pork butcher, even smokes chops for just shy of a day, sausage & deli meat in several varieties. OK enough local ramble.
