"Hi Maggie,
We're leaving for San Diego on 7/16 for a couple of weeks and need somebody close to check on our chickens. They have the full run of the yard and go to bed by themsleves, we just need someone to check on them to make sure the…"

"Hi Tenacity,
Some additional notes: pygmies are really cute, but unlike Nigerian Dwarfs they can have trouble delivering, so if you are looking for milk and babies lean more towards the Nigerians or larger.
They will not mow your lawn (grass is not…"

"I live in Phoenix and to my understanding goats aren't allowed for us because we don't have enough property."
"Hi Denise,
As Jan said goats can be kept in Phoenix and they are great to own and you are correct there are lots of options for using the milk - I love my goat yogurt. But make sure you are not in an HOA - they usually have restrictions on anything…"

Could I keep a goat in Phoenix? My dad's goat had 2 girl kids while I was visiting IN and they were so cute. One rolled out of the pen onto the barn floor (it was cold in IN) and it couldn't stand, so I had to bottle feed it the first day. Dad…
"Megan - thank you for the info. It was a very helpless feeling not knowing what to do when she was injured. Many thanks for offering those options!"
"Hope this comes in handy for everyone in the future if the need arises::: I have used Corona Ointment (look for the yellow plastic jar with red lid) in the past for my horse following surgery and did a great job protecting the skin and speeding the…"
"Ozzie is beautiful and laying again! She has no bare spots and is back at the top of the pecking order. Wing (only one) is clipped, too!"
"We live just north of downtown, off the 51 at Glendale. Where are you? Good luck with the chickens, they're such great 'pets' that serve a very practical purpose, too. Know you'll enjoy the workshop! The picture of your pie gave you away...it just…"
"Luanne - do you by chance have a sister, Karen? If so, I graduated with her at FCHS. I have a sister, Lisa, who may have graduated with your class."
"Yay Ozzie! I'm glad I could be helpful. :)"
"Scott came in after feeding the chickens some left-over omelet this morning and called me outside. Dear Ozzie has new feather nubs sticking out of part of her back. I noticed the initial scab starting to peel off on Thursday, but really didn't…"
"Ozzie is still doing OK tonight. She was resting in the coop when I got home from work tonight. I got the lotion and applied it to her back, too. She didn't particularly like it, but I did at least get some on her without causing her too much…"
"I will make the adjustment on the next trim, thank you!"
"Thank you for the suggestions. I will have my husband get some of the lotion tomorrow and get some of that on her. She flew over our 8' block wall into the neighbor's yard. Thank goodness he only has an old bassett hound and a couple little (very…"

Yes, I think they are lawnmower wheels, $6 each at Ace. They are on a metal rod that is attached to the bottom of the coop. Pretty wobbly, but I'm not running races. I tried a nest box on the perches, but the girls didn't like it. As they are now free ranging all day, they have favorite spots in the yard, an old wood crate under a tipped up wheelbarrow and the "waiting not working" compost bin. Thank you for the compliment on the girl's behalf! They are such fun! Check out my description of "Chickens chasing Crickets" at www.azhomegrownsolutions.org

Saw your post on ordering chicks from Myron, I have ordered for three to go with my flock of four. If you look on my page, there is a description of my chicken tractor. You are welcome to come see it or ask questions online.
