Arizona Chickens

[JennyHeidewald]

Over in East Mesa. She ran an ad in Craigslist Farm and Garden section. She order's them as chick's and then sell's them as started Bird's. She's expensive though. She sold me these one's that were a couple month's old for $25.00 each.

Wow, but they are a rarer bird. I paid $13 for 5-6 week old Isbars and Mosaics. I'd rather get a chick though, because I have enough broodies that can care for them. That way they can grow up in the particular environment they'll be living in, get the immune system built up and all that. And I LOOOVE chicks. Thanks for the info!

I just went to craigslist and found this ad for 4 day old chick's for $8.00 each. The problem with that is they are too young to know what the feather pattern is going to look like yet, as at this age they are only fuzz ball's.

...The biggest male here is about 1.25 lbs. He is a winner for the time being. ...

I only got a weight on 2 males yesterday: 1lb 6oz and another at 1lb 8oz and gaining every day it seems.

What are you feeding them? Is there something else that you can feed them to help them put on enough weight to catch up with @Parront boy?

My scale does not weigh in ounces. Carole got the biggest males at the time we split the flock, hers have a much better shot at making it to adult/breeder status! Mine are named "Nuggets"!

I was handling (fondeling) the Barred Hollands yesterday but did not weigh them. The males are much bigger than the pullets. Not exactly dinner size, though! But, better than a leghorn male at the same age. They act like my leghorn roosters, though! Already trying to breed the pullets!

Why Yes, i did try and see where i might make a house chicken coop for two barnevelders. Daisy Mae would probably lose her top hen rank though, which would ruin her world.

We got rain!! Not just evaporating mist, but gigantic actual rain drops for about 30 minutes, woohoo!!

I live in a vortex, so if i got rain here, there is hope for you! It seems like clouds are accumulating more now than they were earlier.
