Arizona Chickens

I'm definitely going to have to review the videos on that. One time I tried to rig up a flashlight to my glasses but I can see I'd need a head-mounted light.
You can get the headlights from Cabelas or find them online. Oh and in the sporting goods section at walmart sometimes too.
Have a great day!
 
So chickens kept at 135 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes are cooked. This Rube Goldberg scientist has basically confirmed that this past July my chickens were essentially cooked.

Could almost be, as hot as it get's in the summer.

I don't know of anyone that's raising the RIR's, or Barred Rock's. The main one's that I like working with is the Naked Neck's, because they handle the heat better.
 
Anyone in Arizona sell fertilized Rhode Island Red or Plymouth Barred Rock eggs? I’d like to start hatching my own again but everything around me is fairly mixed.
I have Barred Hollands, They look like Barred Rock, but lay white eggs. They are fertile, but I am waiting for the eggs to be larger.

Why barred Holland’s? The white eggs? I’ve never had these, but After 55 years of chickens and as many breeds, variety, and mixed up chickens, my thoughts always go back to the dual purpose breeds.

Our current harem are ISA browns but the eggs tend to be “thin”. I assume this is because they lay an egg every day. We prefer those orange golf ball yolks over the yellow flat yolks as they tend to burst with flavor.

We are also tired of that bland “chicken flavored meat” they sell in the store. Chickens that are free ranged and eat bugs, grass, and everything else besides grower mash just taste better.

By going with a dual purpose bird, we could resolve that issue.

I like the big dual-purpose breed's too. I love those big egg's with that deep colored egg yolk. Do you live in Az. or Vegas?
