Hi everyone, ive heard about this site so thought id check it out, So guess im a newbie here. I live in Wittmann, Az 45 min from Phoenix and a native . I raise Bantam Silkies, Frizzles, and some projects Sizzles. The most important thing you can do is provide shade and lots water. If you can free ranch your chickens they will find shade and will be very happy. plus keep the bugs ,scorpions, rodents, weeds ect away and feed YOU . Ive seen people put tons of money into fancy coops only to have the high winds destroy them to a pile of match sticks. A simple dog run and a nesting box and roosting stick and a little shade screen works fine and holds up great. if you are hatching chicks just put some chicken wire around the bottom so keep babies in. Ways to keep them cool in our 122 heat: Misters, Fans, portable swamp coolers, frozen water bottles, heavy clay flower pot drip pans filled with water to walk in, shade screens , climbing shrubs. hope this helps

Welcome

NE PHX--BUT AT THIS AGE I CANT TELL THE GENDERS!!! Do You already have muscovies? The males by far make the better pets as they get very attached to their caregiver. The females only lay egg seasonally and are somewhat alittle more shy, generally. Let me know, Thanks!
