Arizona Chickens

[saguaroskeleton]

I did a little something, well, six little somethings

five white leghorns and a Wyandotte from the feed store. Me and my friend stopped for dog treats and we just couldn't resist. How old do they look? Under a week right?
So excited to have chickens again!!!

Hey guys, long time no see.

My life has been crazy between kids and critters and my husband's health issues, but I'm back (if there is anyone around who still remembers me) and still raising chickens. I have a mixed flock of mostly EEs, with a Blue Andalusian (who will be six this year) , a Rex Sex-link and a Russian Orloff. In the spring I'm going to be adding some more color with some white and brown layers.
I'm also raising 3 turkeys as an experiment, and will be finding out how they taste in a couple weeks

In other chicken related news, one of my Olive Eggers has gone broody, and I'm in the market for fertile eggs.

Good to hear from you! It has been a while. Glad you still have chickens. Hope all is well with you.

You have Russian Orloffs? How do they handle the heat out here?

I have a Russian Orloff, and she handles the heat really well. A little bit of panting, but no more than that. That said, I've got a lot of trees in my yard, and the chickens have access to full shade all day. And Natasha is weird for an Orloff, she is active and somewhat aggressive, and she also didn't get the memo that Orloffs don't go broody.

Well, I heard from Kurt today, and he said that he will be shipping me the fertile eggs from his Black Australorp pen next week, so I'll soon have some of the black ones to go with my Blue and Splash Australorps! Now, to get the incubator ready again... lol

This isn't really related to chickens but....


Does anyone know of any mastiff breeders or mastiffs for sale in arizona? We need a new family dog and we love mastiffs but and can't find any.

I know there's at least one, I was looking for service dog prospects and found them. But I'll be a monkeys uncle if I can remember the name

I'm sure if you Google "AZ mastiff breeders" they should come up. They were Neapolitan Mastiffs if it makes a difference

No problem! I do believe it was http://www.shininghillsneos.com but I would still Google and search around for other breeders

Just got an email confirmation for my 25 Cornish X! They should be here on the 8th! I'm going over to my Post Office tomorrow to let them know and make sure they call me when they arrive. I'm so ready to start raising my own food again!
