Arizona Chickens

I thought that the hen was a Creme Legbar, and the male was your guy that CaroleW has?

It could have been from out of the CCLB hen, but she was laying blue egg's. Roger had a lot of different type's of coloring going on with him, but he did hatch from a brown egg. It look's like you have a colorful egg basket over there.

Naked Neck/Red Ranger/Dorking mix is this girl. I am still waiting for some Dorkings from Sandhill Preservation. I am on his wait list for Red Dorkings. He sent my order for more Dorkings back, there was a big storm.

I have been hearing on the other area's here that people have been having problem's in getting order's from there for a while now.

He is just a small guy. I got some of his Barred Hollands when the rest were no laying at all from that storm. They are very nice, and hardy, too. I will wait for what he wants to send me. The big egg in the photo is a Duck egg from his Rouen ducks.

Hi I am in Tucson and just got back into raising chickens. But....before I gave them plenty of shade and put misters on them. It is very dry so the ground does not get wet but the temperature goes down at least 10 degrees. I also do not feed any corn in the summer because it seems to make them hotter.

I would want some more of the White NN -- she lays a nice green egg with some little brown freckles. She is very mild mannered, low bird on the totem pole here.

I have 3 from @BlueBaby your welcome to the 2 white ones I have from her. I really need to down size. They are young, message me if interested.

HI! I'm in the Mayer area--so it gets cold and hot. We just had about 8 inches of snow and 19 degrees, and it'll just top 100 in the summer. But the summer nights cool off very nicely. My birds have generally avoided the mist, so in the past I've arranged to have it aim towards the roost area and the area just outside the nestbox, to provide indirect cooling. What types of birds do you have?

Not quite sure as I ordered an assortment of heavy pullets. I think I have black star, rhode island reds, black laced golden wyandottes and for sure 3 buff orpingtons from OK feed.

That sound's like a nice mix.

If anyone here travels pretty frequently, how do you ensure your hens are happy and safe while you’re away on trips? Some relatives wanted to plan a trip later in the year but I’m worried about leaving my hens alone for more than two or three days. Any tips?
