Hello from Phx!

Hello, I'm Anthony! I don't have any chickens yet, but I will soon! Waiting to change my backyard fence from chain-link to block wall then I will be building my coop and getting chickens! I have been a long time lurker and finally decided to become a real member. Still haven't decided on which breeds I want since it gets so hot here in AZ, but open to suggestions!

Hello, Anthony, and welcome to BYC. Good luck in preparing your coop/pen and establishing your flock.

Hi Anthony, the couple of AZ members I chat with have had Naked Necks and they seem to do pretty well. You will need lots of shade and a well ventilated (open) coop for them.

Good luck!

Welcome to our FUNomenal Flock!
I hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do!

I always thought if I moved to AZ I would get Egyptian Fayoumis.

Welcome to BYC. Egyptian Fayoumis, are said to be very resistant to Mareck's disease. It would also be a good idea to join the Arizona thread, to learn from their experience, getting chickens through HOT Weather,
