I am new to raising backyard chickens for eggs...I have questions right off the bat.

Arizona can have all types of weather. It just depends on where you live and how high the elevation is. You can just about sunbathe in one part of the state and go skiing in another part during the winter here.

Welcome!!! Lots of great info here and great people to help. I have been with chickens now for about 7 months and I started with little knowledge. This group has helped me become the crazy chicken lady I am!!!

I wasn't getting after you, I'm sorry.
We have lots of climates here, you can grow pomegranates, dates, pistachios, olives, cotton, and citrus in the southern part, very similar to the Mediterranean and then drive 4 hours north and have snowmobiles, skiing, and 4 feet of snow. I live in North Central, few days over 95 and doesn't often get below 0. Perfect.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
