"Oh boy. I told my 7 year old about the plan and he is not really thrilled with letting Trixie go. I asked him to think about it overnight and told him she would be with other chickens, etc.... Call me in the morning and I'll give you an update. So…"
"Awesome! I was just starting the process to figure out where she might go. She really is sweet, and tame. My boys like to pet her. :) If you want to wait until saturday, that would work too. I am returning the hens that I am sitting on Saturday.…"
"I have an americauna you can have. She is very sweet 1 1/2 years old or so and is still laying pretty much daily. I recently chicken sat for a friend that brought 4 hens over and she acclimated very quickly. She is my only hen I have left, and I…"
"I got my chicks locally from Pratt's Pets, and despite the bad reputation, I was very happy with them. They were less than a week old...chicks. Fuzzy and cute. I would keep them inside if possible in a room that doesn't get a lot of use and that you…"
"My girls make loud noises when they are laying eggs. It is a repetitive and loud "braaaaawk" bok bok bok. Usually lasts for about 5 Mins or so a couple times a day. I wouldn't worry about it if you are allowed to have chickens some noise is…"
"Kathy, the seamstress's name is Gem Chavez and she can be reached at 602-350-2075. Again, she is great to work with."
"I love that place. The woman that works there is so helpful and they even load your feed into the car for you!"
"Keep us updated. I am interested in it. Especially since it claims you can compost meat and bones with it, then bury the "compost" The Permaculture guild had a class a couple years ago about making your own bokashi too, maybe they should do that…"
"can you give them the scratch in their coop and lock it up? Nothing you can do about the noise unfortunately. My hens are right outside the bedroom window, so I know what you mean. It usually only lasts for about 5-10 minutes or so for mine though."
"Hi Greg, nice to meet you guys tonight. I hope you enjoyed the movie and the Biodynamics discussion. Here is the link to the urban homestead in Pasadena I was talking about. http://urbanhomestead.org/journal/ or www.pathtofreedom.com Hope to see you…"

"I choose not to because the salts that are included with the chlorine. You don't want to add salts to our already salty soil/water."
"understood. I think I will skip it too. I love my birdies, don't wanna kill 'em."
"Try googling bokashi composting. This method relies on fermentation, not decomposition so supposedly there is no smell. you can compost anything with this method, meat, fish, bones, vegg, etc... I haven't tried it personally, but I have heard good…"
"What did the notice tell you had to do? Did it say you had to get rid of them? there are laws on the books regarding owning chickens. I would think that unless you live in a HOA You would have the opportunity to comply with the law ie cooping them…"
"I checked, they are all 85 days or under. Still doing crappy. I have had horrible luck with beans too. Oddly enough squash is thriving this year. I couldn't grow squash last year to save my life!"

I have found a seamstress in downtown PHX but would be interested in your recommendation as a back up.
Many thanks - Kathy F
I think I'll just stick with fish.
It is indeed a small world! One of my son's friends lives on the same street as Greg from the Urban Farm - I just found that out a short while ago. And then a few days later I see your name on the Brixen's guest list.
Bummer, I missed the opportunity to chat with you and your wife. I love your pictures - your backyard looks great. We are still in a trial-and-error phase with our gardening. One season we have a great harvest of squash, the next it won't grow. At least the one thing we can count on to flourish are our citrus trees. Only a few weeks ago I installed some permaculture beds the Garden Guy recommends (layers of blood meal, compost, newspaper and straw). Hopefully that will help us increase out yield this year.
Well, maybe we'll get to meet you one of these days. Take care!
