Hello and thank you

[CrazyChick3nLady7]

My name is Shelley I am the new mom of 7 hens (I hope) that I have had for about a month. They are supposed to be colored egg layers.
I am in AZ, so I am curious how they will hold up with the heat here. I also have a 6 year old and 3 dogs.
Can't think of what else to say, hope to discover the breeds that they are eventually!

hello @CrazyChick3nLady7 - welcome to BYC

they look very cute!

Other members here live in Arizona too, and every state has its own thread (try the search function), so you'll be sure to get lots of good advice about dealing with the heat - and everything else to do with chickens
