New to Arizona Backyard chickens

[rghowell]

Hello all, I am looking to connect with those living in Arizona raising chickens. We have built our first chicken coop and have 4 chickens right now. I have two leghorns, 1 Easter egger, and a surprise Wyndotte Rooster. I would really like to get some silkies in the future, not
sure how well they do in the desert. My husband built an amazing chicken house. We have experience a few minor setbacks so we're just trying to figure out what works best for this hot climate. My kids love the chickens!! My ladies are only 4 months so haven't had any eggs yet but looking forward to the fall
Thanks for all future advice,
rghowell
