Arizona Chickens

That would probably be a good idea in more ways than one. Thanks

Bob's Henhouse :

I like overkill. I took a pot shot at a coyote eating the chickens food int eh backyard at about 8 this morning, so I try to make stuff sturdy enough to keep them out, or hidden well enough they don't know to try.

I like it, too.

That's the wire commonly used for rabbit cages when 14g isn't readily available. We use a steel grinder to cut it fast & smooth and then a roll bender for clean bends. It's not really coyote/dog proof but I'd sure rest easier with a coop wired with 16g if coyotes had access to it. I hope you can get it at the same price as the cloth!

I think my urban environment precludes snakes but my cat did drag home a mouse a couple weeks ago. I'll put 1/2 x 1/2 6 inches up when ever I get small chicks.

Scarlet or Janice may have some. I have a little PQ lavender who is free to a good home. He should not be used for breeding, however, as his spine is quite crooked. He, however, is completely unaware of it, and is a healthy happy little boy.

Thank you, but I'm interested in Show Quality birds.

What are Scarlet and Janice's usernames? I don't really come to this thread too often so I don't know anyone by names.

No problem, just thought I would offer him. They are not on BYC. Send me an email and I will forward it to them.

Yay another Mahonri egg is hatching!

DH went to Home Depot with me to buy sand for the coop and lumber for the pen. He is bowing to the inevitable; chicken ownership.
Merry Christmas me!

Tucson that little FBCM is beautiful. Here's hoping you get MORE.

:-( The little one that was hatching hatched, and it looks like the momma chicken stepped on it (or maybe it just died). Either way it didn't make it. :-(

It seems like I lose one chick out of every set of chicks. :-(

The living one is super cute!

Mahonri, if it is breeding quality you can have it back to help replace your flock!
