I'm finally approved through the state to sell eggs (Yay!!) and I was thinking of building a little honest box. Maybe similar to the one in the pic. Just to help get rid of all the extras we don't eat ourselves (and to help fund coop expansions and treats and toys lol). But I'm still debating if...

Hello! I don't see too many naked necks or turkens around the area and was wondering if anyone would be interested in some gorgeous roosters. I have several and would love to see them find a home with some ladies to watch over. About them: I have 2-3 red/brown naked neck roosters. Rather large...

Hi everybody!! I have so far gotten 2 pheasants, a Male and female, Bonnie and Clyde. 3 quails, Poppy, Tansy and Ivy. I'm beginning to think Tansy is male as this quail lacks spots on the chest, I do believe they are Coturnix quails. I also have 3 Ameraucana chicks. Now the pheasants and quails...

Yes, I know, you are supposed to have the brooder up and running before the baby hatches, but I do not feel safe having a 250 watt heat lamp hovering over my baby and I am worried about the heating pad's thermostat breaking and starting a fire. Sounds like I'm quite worrisome huh? Well, I am...

New here and almost ready to go! I'm looking for any locals that have chickens for sale. I'm building the run, nesting boxes and hoping to be ready very soon. I'm a mother of 5 and loving life..DH and I have a tiny parcel on the outskirts of town and its the life I've always dreamed of. Country...

Hello! I am a chicken-keeper in Arizona. I’ve had chickens for about a dozen years now. I’ve enjoyed this site for a while but finally felt the need to make an account to ask a question about incubating after my broody went after the hatching babies (I’ve hatched dozens of chicks under...

Hello! My family picked up our first batch of 12 chicks today. We bought Plymouth Rocks because apparently they are great for laying and family friendly. I really want a breed that will be enjoyable additions to our family. I am also interested in purchasing light Sussex chicks but there are no...

Need to down size as we are moving. We have a mature flock of Svart Hona, no leakage. fertile layers, 1 gorgeous Rooster with mature hens. Also enough 3-4 month old to make two similar groups. $200-$250 for each group. These are very heat tolerant chickens and we have had great success...

I am located in Tonopah, AZ (about 50 miles west of Phoenix). I have chicks ranging from one to six weeks old I am selling at $5 each. The father rooster is a big and beautiful Silver Ameraucana and the mother hen either a New Hampshire Red, a Welsummer-mix, a Speckled Sussex-mix, or a Jungle...

(1) This is my first time owning and caring chickens myself but have often helped my sister with her flock. I got some chicks from a neighbor and few more from a feed store. (2) I have three, 3 wk olds and three, 1 wk olds and am inheriting a full grown hen from my daughter's school in a...

We will be moving from lovely San Diego, CA to Yuma, AZ in a couple of months. I have a couple questions that I cannot seem to get straight answers. We will be scouting out houses next weekend but I was wondering what area's are considered more farm landish? I would like to go somewhere where...

Purebred Svart Honas. No leakage. Shipping full dozens only. Limited supply. Shipping from Arizona so no freeze risk on this end.

Hi! I am hoping to find at least 2 olive eggers to join my 6 baby girls (brown egg layers) I currently have now. I just haven't had any luck with the feed stores in my area and im hoping someone in the Phoenix or Mesa area can help me out here. Im hoping for some as young as 1 to 2 weeks old...

Okay so this has been going on the past few weeks and I've been losing my mind over it. But hopefully my post gives others a glimmer of hope in dark times. Sorry it's a bit lengthy. Maybe one day I'll write a book on my chicken adventures and this will be a chapter lol. We live in a very rural...

I had a very difficult hatch, with only one surviving duckling. She is a day old. Anyone near Prescott, have young ducklings or chicks and are willing to part with one or two? She is very lonely, and it feels so cruel having her alone!:hit

Hello! I'm Crystal from the scorching hot desert that is Arizona. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and his chickens. I'm so in love with them! It's been about a week so far. We have about 20 older chickens of various breeds (Jersey Giant, Silkies, Marans, Minorcas, D'Uccle, etc.), 25 four...

Hi Guys, I'm Kaligh! I just moved to AZ last year, and Just bought my first house over the summer and have been fixing it up, and now I want to get an old shed in the back of the property spruced up to become a chicken coop! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Im...

I'm new in this I order 8 chicks they are arriving next week. I'm now looking around for the coop design I guess I have 6 weeks to have it ready because base of what I have read they are big enough for the coop. I been weeks reading and I have an information overflow and the sky is the limit...

Hello, I'm allergic to chicken eggs, moving to Yuma within a year and will be looking for a source of duck eggs. Are there any duck lovers in Yuma or is it just too HOT for ducks! Here in Pacific NW I've raised my own laying ducks,and the eggs are a nutritional part of my diet so I hope I don't...
