Hi Jeff

Welcome to BYC. You've got a link to the state thread so you're on the way. Everyone over there is friendly and helpful.

Raising chickens in AZ just requires a lot of shade and other creative ways to keep them cool in summer. Maybe a bit of creativity with your coop too.

I'll see you around

not OP but curious. How do you protect them in dust storms?

You can't. They learn to go hide when it blows.

Mine just go hang out in the coop during those. I have an attached run on the coop, so I don't free-range. They can easily get in there to get out of the higher wind's, dust storm's, and rain.
