Arizona Chickens

[arizonadreamer]

My Delawares now 4 weeks old have been outside for the last few days. DH and I find our selfs sitting in the evening out back on the swing just before dust watching the babies play. They are so energetic once it starts to cool, they jump on each other play chase, jump on the perch together and rest, drink together. It's so enjoyable to watch.

this is a good question if a hatchery chicken can be a good show chicken
feed stores sell hatchery chickens i did see at the maricopa county fair
show that people took hatchery birds

So about 9:30 I am in the shower and I think "Hmmm, wasn't I going to meet someone special today? Now who was it? It was someone I hadn't seen in person before...someone on Facebook? No....hmmm.....OMG!!!! BYC coffee!!!" Dumb me!!! I totally slept in. I guess I like my Saturday mornings too much.

Sorry! I hope you guys had fun!!! Maybe someday I'll drag myself outta bed...

So whats the backstory for the ALOHA chickens?? They are so neat, I want one someday FOR SURE!!!

News on the chick front...we have an eye pecker. She is SO MEAN! She terrorizes all the other chicks, yanks them around by their beaks and tries to peck their eyeballs out. So she's been in chick jail since yesterday afternoon. I've tried letting her out twice (last night before bedtime) and today, but nope, she was still being naughty, so back in she went.

Question: how old are chicks usually when they get their wing tip feathers?

You know, I just noticed that this morning.

Not sure why it took me so long.
