Arizona Chickens

[Btruax]

Hello and Welcome, Bobby. Pretty new myself lol. Currently have 2 flocks, not huge, but one rooster and 10 girls apiece, in different enclosures.
I agree fully, Im a first timer for raising chickens myself. Family did when I was young, but. BYC is awesome, have met alot of very cool people, and they are all helpful. Hope you find what you need here.

Welcome to the Arizona thread!

I don't know about White Leghorns, but @desertmarcy breeds high quality Barred Rocks.

Thank you very much

My Valentine's Day hatch officially ended at 4:32 this morning when I discovered that the NN in the last (7th) egg died after unzipping halfway.

That left me with three beautiful little NNs and three beautiful little Silver Grey Dorking pullets.

They are so sweet congrats on a (mostly) successful hatch! Those little NNs look so fun with the wild poof of down on top of their heads.

@DesertChic it's been ages since I have seen @desertmarcy around (at least here in our AZ. thread). Is she ok?

Pretty much been taking a break from BYC. Been on FB instead, and now taking a break from that! Just don't have time to take care of all the birds and sit on the computer both.

Well, I am glad that you are ok and thanks for letting me know that you are still alive.

I have days like that. Depends on what projects I'm working on and what the weather looks like that day.

Have extreme fog here today, wetness BC of it kinda like twilight zone. Totally cool and my buffs look like they glow in the dark lol

@cactusrota I like your new profile pic, really cute
We had a thick fog hang out all day yesterday, and my husband went down into town today and said it's still really foggy there. It finally stopped raining last night. The hay in the run is soaked through, so I'm hoping it will dry out soon or else I will probably have to replace it. I'm so happy we got this rain, the desert needed it!

Doesn't wet hay get moldy?
