Arizona Chickens

Did anyone else hear that we will be getting some rain Wednesday or Thursday?

I've heard that too...but I won't believe it until I feel the raindrops.

You are right. How many times that I have heard that and waited for the rain only to have it pass over and drop it somewhere else instead!

She's inspired! At least she's learning her part of the song.

Mine were "singing" their heads off today too, but when I went out to check it was my rooster, Tank, leading the chorus. I guess he doesn't think the girls sing enough when they lay eggs, so he sings for them...LOUDLY.

I guess my neighbor next door had thought they were asking him for more of those weed's in his yard that they like so well. He filled up one of those 5 gallon buckets full of those weeds and had me give it to them to quiet them down! Then he asked me how many egg's that I got today.

That all depends on the type of weed.
Some weeds increase appetites drastically.

But not this kind, and besides they are eating it raw, not cooking it or smoking it.

I hear if they smoke it you end up with baked chicken
Sorry guys it might be too early for jokes and I haven't had my coffee yet!

I'm in the same boat! We live 30/45 minutes away from town depending on what direction you go. I don't count the "downtown" Yucca as a real town. Oh, sure we have a post office, fire department, small convenient store, restaurant/laundromat (no, I haven't ventured in there) and a bar. There are a few businesses there, which may or may not be still open. I heard there was a gas station here many moons ago.

We get the nice breeze here too. Rolling down from the mountains that we nestled in between.

Haha!!! So you have a laundromat, and don't need it... we don't and i do need it, and the closest one is 20 miles away...

My brother always says his birds are laughing at him, that big doofy hoooman.

I love when I hear the egg songs. I have a number of girls who sing a "pre" egg as well as "post" egg. I also love the ones who sing and talk in the middle then pick right back up where they left off. I just laugh. My new NN girls are quiet singers but the older girls who are just coming back in to lay sing the loudest. Some don't bother anymore - they are the ones who you find sitting on the talking board with the rest of the girls!!
Rain - when it falls on my head I'll believe it. It did smell wet this morning though. We'll see - I just won't hold my breath.

Well, I don't let my chickens free range, so I have to bring the weeds to them. They get all excited when I bring them a nice bucket full.
