Arizona Chickens

[damzilchick]

Poor girls! There's a guy south of Queen Creek that takes unwanted roosters and rehomes them. Maybe he could take your mean ones and then you could get nicer ones? He's only on facebook, though.
Yeah, bullies aren't allowed in my flock at all, but I keep my birds penned up because of all the loose dogs we get around here, so they would be extra stressed if they were penned up with bullies.
So sad that you can't ride anymore. A year or two ago someone I know in Cali had her horse attacked by offleash boxer dogs while out on a ride. And the owners just stood and watched, but her horse was a tough little Icelandic and got a couple good kicks in. Fortunately the owners were caught later, but her poor horse had a long recovery after that. Nobody has any respect anymore... :'(

Yeah people can really be buttheads, especially the kind of people we are getting down here in Laveen.

Made it home with my beautiful new addition thanks to BlueBaby. She is getting adjusted. I named her Hazel after a good friend of my grandmother.

Ha Ha too funny, I think we all have been there...is she a black Australorp?

No that sweet baby is an Easter Egger.
BTW Welcome to the AZ thread.

Hazel is a good name for her. That might even be the color of her eyes?

Edit: Sorry that we had to rush, as it would have been nice to have talked more while you were here. It was already so hot out there though, and I wanted Hazel to be in your nice air-conditioned car. The heat can be a killer, and where we were standing at didn't have any shade.

It’s fine. I’ll make the trip in the fall when it cools down so we can chat.

I’ll post pictures soon. She is so sweet and fitting in so well. Got to go to dinner for my daughters birthday tonight.

I'm glad, and hope your dinner is a good one. Speaking of birthday's, Hazel's is May 17th. She hatched on my birthday.

So, that light blue one with the orange tinted bowtie ended up being a girl? I wonder if her bowtie held that unusual coloring?

So, I followed her around trying to take pics this evening. It's hard as she just won't sit still for nothin'... But I'd say these are some of the best I could get...

I think it's safe to say if she were a fully feathered bird she would have had all buff neck feathers, and a blue body.

So, the light blue girl is a redhead? I see that the colored feathers stayed on her chest and bowtie.
