"There are loads of chickens in Glendale in residential communities (of course in the horse properties). I think most of us are just on the down low.
Hey--speaking of that. I signed on because my black Astrolorp, that I know is a hen as it lays…"

"Hello, Randy. I am closing on a cottage in Yarnell on Monday. The back yard is fenced, has a juniper and some other type of oak looking thing. I would like to put various fruit trees up there. Could you give me some recommendations? I see many apple…"
"Debbie, when does the Tour de Coops take place?"
"We have a "coop committee" that checks out all the coops ahead of time and goes over city compliance issues, parking, accessability, etc. If you are interested, but have some concerns, drop an email to info@tourdecoops.org and Bryan or Matt can…"
"I did think of that. Here is my bias/fear that you could validate or help me see from a different perspective. I only have one access to my back yard, and the chicken area is across the yard on one side that has about 3 feet of walk by the coop…"
"Are you ready to show your 'girls' off on our Tour de Coops route? :) It's fun for those who are considering getting chickens to see what others have done and the progress that can be made in a year. May give someone the confidence to take that leap!"
We made it past the first year mark. My cholesterol level is quite high now. We eat eggs in many different ways. The girls are fine, very healthy. Thank you to all of the chicken people who were so kind in answering all of the very silly questions,…
"I'm in. I have young adult children who still eat a lot. I'll learn how to milk goats if someone would check in on my human kids... only kidding. With our schedules, we are generally good with having at least one of us home. I'm in northwest Phoenix…"
"I'll third the white rock vote. They lay eggs in the brown range, so that makes more sense with your tinted egg comment in the earlier discussion. She's a good looking bird too, so clean!!!"
"Well, thank you. I did not know. She has quite the personality."
"She's Leghorn-ish, but the comb is much too small for a Leghorn and she's too plump. Her personality doesn't sound like a Leghorn, either - they're usually a bit skittish. I'll cast my vote in with Becky. :)"
"My vote would be white Plymouth Rock. Single comb, yellow legs, and red ears..."
Here are the chickens.. mystery on what kind.002 (4).JPG008 (3).JPG
"Yes. That was me (and a dozen others) who had a rooster. Marianne was a beautiful roo. I work two jobs to keep these girls in tomatoes and grapes and have not had a chance to take new pix. Will try real soon. They probably are some sort of mix."
"Hi there,
I think you are the same Jeanette that had to give your rooster up. Am I right? I was having problems with mine, and I was trying everything to try to keep him, but in the end, I had to let him go.
I too was dealing with a hen that…"

"I was thinking the same thing, Tracy. Pictures might give us a clue. Jeanette, is she skinny? Leghorns are egg laying machines, not meat birds, so they tend to be rather thin."

I think we'll be going back to the Holdemans' house next year. Paul has an amazing amount of knowledge to share and what a beautiful space they've created!
