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!

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!

Hello, and welcome from another AZ. person. I'm just outside of Phoenix. I'm one of the one's that have been mentioned above that has the Naked Neck's as one of my flock breed's. Good luck with your plan's.

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,

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