"I have a ton (well not really) but a lot of dried safflower that I can harvest seeds from. I will be checking some in soon! Love it!! I have a question, if the seed is older (I have a bunch of beet seeds, too) should we do a germ test on it before…"
"We are on the tour, but my husband and I have enough help that we feel we might like to explore some coops nearby. Do we have to buy a ticket?"
"I am interested in raising some broilers this winter. But I have no equipment or know-how to do the butchering and really don't want to do it all myself. Do you butcher chickens for people or only teach classes? I am interested in getting some…"
"Hi again,

Heather"

"Yes, keep me in mind. By the way I just went and bought some eggs from a lady close by and then I found my first two eggs this weekend! They are very small but I guess at least one of my pullets is content enough to start laying! I'm so excited…"
"Carole,
That is nice of you. Turns out we can't get away this weekend anyway. But I will keep you in mind if we do in the future. Anytime you are in the area and want to see our set-up, let me know. Our 7 birds are not yet laying (anytime now),…"

"I am new to chickens as I just got 7 pullets this month, but I may be able to help you out. I'm not right in your neighborhood (I'm at University/Alma School) but am willing to help you out if you haven't found someone else.
Would help out just to…"

"cool, thanks. We are now thinking of going Sun the 29 thru June 1. Not for sure yet, though. "
"Hi Maggie,
I was hoping not to have to do a cash payment and instead give someone an experience they might have been thinking about trying, or trade with someone for the same service at a later time. I am not opposed to paying, it is just that my…"

"Hi Heather,
Great idea. I unfortunately am not able to chicken sit as we live in Central PHX. We are leaving too for a week and I wanted to ask if you knew what the going rate for a chicken sitter was? Also, is anyone who lives in Central PHX…"

Hi everyone!We are thinking of taking off for the Memorial Day weekend, Thur May 26 thru Monday May 30. We have 7 chickens and would like someone to check on them, let them out in the a.m. and make sure they are in at night. Just wondering if…
"Thanks to Dave Hamilton (and Dominique the chicken) and Jenny Kelly (with lovely eggs) for helping me share our experiences with the kids at ANLC. There were at least 3 students that came up and talked to me after class and got more information to…"
"Wonderful! Now since you've gotten this experience under your belt, you'll be much better equipped to confidently handle any future scorpion stings. :)"
"Super! You and your son have quite the story, Heather. So nice for you and your son to have a happy ending."

Hi Heather,
I only teach classes and yes we have all of the equipment that you would need to butcher your own birds and we typically rent the gear out (plucker, scalder, killing cones etc..) to people that have attended our class. We do not allow participants to bring their birds to the workshop as want to keep a "closed herd" and transporting the birds here to our property from yours will somewhat defeat part of the purpose of NOT stressing the birds out on butchering day. The classes that we teach are hands on workshops and when a person goes through the 3 - 4 hour workshop they are more than capable of butchering their own birds without our help. My next class is scheduled for the first week of January the exact dates are yet to be determined. The class is 25.00 and if you wish to purchase one of the organically raised birds that is an addtional 10.00. I only take 12 people per class so if you are interested the best thing to do is send me your email address and let me know how many on your end (just you or you and your husband etc) will be attending.

Heather,
