"Paula,
My wife Heidi and I would love to provide a loving home to all or some of your hens. We think of our hens as pets, and fresh egg providers, and we feel that their new home would be comparable to yours...a "forever" home. In addition to how…"

We are moving out of state and are SO sad not to be able to take our well loved hens with us... I'm looking for a GREAT home, not an ok home, or even a good home, but a GREAT home for our girls. We got our White Leghorn, (Snowy) and Rhode Island Red…

Megan Towe replied to Paula Ortiz's discussion Is there any food that I can plant that my free range ducks and chickens won't eat?? in Micro Livestock
"I have found success with using temporary fencing, specifically the "dog pen" fencing that comes in 8 sections. It is portable, cleanable, and I find it to be the best solution so far. I agree that fences are an eyesore. However, I would rather have…"

Paula Ortiz replied to Nathan Scholten's discussion Crowing Hens Need Help! in Micro Livestock
"Hi, sorry to hear about your loud hens. We also have a loud Rhode Island Red hen. If they have food, and room to roam then I would say, chickens are like people, some never shut-up.
I bought my Ameraucanas (Easter eggers) from a lady that came…"

"Yes, you're talking about Vanessa; I've bought three RIRs from her. She is extremely knowledgeable about chickens and is devoted to their care. My RIRs are fine and healthy too. She's definitely a good source for folks who need chickens!
I'm glad…"

"The feed lot up on 19th Ave and Deer Valley has sebastapol geese. (I don't mean to sound like a broken record with the Feed Lot, they just seem to keep coming up!)"

"I had put my name on their waiting list for Sebastapol geese. They were difficult to reach in the first place & they never bothered to call me when their geese hatched. I won't be bothering to drive all the way out there to buy anything from them…"

"C & C also listed themselves as a "rooster sanctuary". Before I took my rooster down there, my husband checked around and heard some horror stories about the conditions at C & C from two of his colleagues."

Rachel replied to Paula Ortiz's discussion Disappointing experience at local hatchery... in Micro Livestock
"I am so sorry to hear about this. It just seems like there is story after story of how C&C have screwed people over. It's a nice thought to support a local hatchery, but I think these people have done a huge disservice to the community and a 3…"

Denise replied to Paula Ortiz's discussion Disappointing experience at local hatchery... in Micro Livestock
"Thank you for posting this. I had thought about going out to C & C because my son really wants a couple of maran hens (he loves the dark eggs), but think I'll re-think that decision.

If you're looking for a good local source for chickens (sometimes…"

"Wow, thank you for letting us know. Plenty of people do want to support local businesses over out of state ones, except for people like this guy. Good grief. Did you report him to the AZ Better Business Bureau? It's easy to do online."
