"I would be happy to add her to my flock. I have about 15 other chickens. I am up in North Phoenix. I'd be willing to meet you somewhere so you wouldn't have to drive so far.

Thank you for your consideration.

We raised 3 chicks which we got last August. One died at the end of May and we lost another one today. We are definitely doing something wrong and it is a heartbreaking experience. I don't think we can get any other chickens right now, and I don't…
