"Happy to say they have found a new home in Mesa!"
We have three chicks that are super nice and friendly. They are about three years old and they are typically great layers. They have been fed organic all their lives so they are super healthy. As you can see by the photo they don't think they are…
"call or text me at 480-737-3071 when you are ready. Thanks!"
"They were beating the two americanas up. I increased their protein after I read that chickens sometimes search for protein sources if they are short through eating feathers. I had to separate to allow them to start growing them back. It happened…"
"Just curious--Why did you have to se"

"Not sure experience is what i gained but a few funny stories to tell in the future. Taking my time getting going with it. My first season of tackle football with both of my boys participating and me coaching set my timetable back a bit this fall.…"
