Arizona Chickens

Roosts are in! They ended up higher than I had imagined, so I'll put in some steps for them to get up. But they're really happy on it! View attachment 1584274

That looks great! What big girls they are! I was just recording my chick tonight and saying how big she looks! They might like a ladder to get up on, my ee's like theirs!

Funny story my buffs hate ladders they are scared of them so I use cinder blocks for a step up, their roosts are much lower than the ee's you'll notice close to a year old some of your girls will be nice n fat and not wanting to jump even an inch lol




@DesertChic @igorsMistress

Really? so you are talking jalapeños, Serranos, Carolina reapers? The stuff that makes our eyes water and mouth burn? That surprises me, its interesting though I only dare to give bell peppers

@meetthebubus yeah several of them can get up as it is now but I know they'll get worse at flying once they're big!

None of my girls will touch a pepper or any type form, seed or green!! Although I am sure with no taste buds they could care less about the hot.

@meetthebubus Apparently chickens can't taste the burn in the pepper's like we can. You can read about it here:

A bowtie? What does it look like now?

He has the beginning of two feathers sticking out on his neck and his body is finally filling in. No more bare butt.

So, he's not mooning you no more?

No, and he's at that I'm afraid of everything stage right now. The big girls are kinda mean to him so I make sure he gets food and treats. I can't wait until he grows up and shows Ruby he's the boss though.

I'll have to see what he look's like now, since you said that he's a bit different now than the last time I seen a pic of him.
