Where to buy chicks in Phoenix area
We hatch 2 colors of Wyandottes, and a few other breeds every week. I will (hopefully) be adding Salmon Faverolles this fall.

We breed New Zealand meat rabbits in Gilbert. We have ours in a room in the barn that is air conditioned during the day and left open at night. Send me an e-mail and we'll discuss some meat options for you.

You might consider getting some Brahmas, they have the sweetest disposition of any breed that I've owned. They're the first chicks to hop into my lap when I go to my grow-out pen and they hang out with us very contentedly. They also lay much better…
These are gorgeous! I think I read where Mr. Byers suggests always keeping the same breed of chickens - and I am not certainly no expert. We kept a variety of chickens in the central city about a decade ago. We had fresh eggs and gave away a lot plu…
We are now hatching Red and Black Sex-links (in small numbers, will be expanding in the future). I have some scheduled to hatch on 4/8 and 4/15.

Great advice! Thanks so much!
Ours have done fine so far. We put frozen 2 liter bottles in our chickens' runs and nest boxes during the hottest parts of summer and it seemed to help.
Yours are the first pictures of Silver Laced Wyandottes that I've seen on this site. How do they do in the summer here?
E-mail me at wjfaint@cox.net and we'll give you details.
Thanks,

Hello,
We are interested in getting two little chicks very soon. What breeds do you have? Where are you located? What is the best way to arrange a time to meet you?
We don't handle ducks, but I've got Leghorns from 12/12 on up to 5 weeks old. E-mail me at wjfaint@cox.net and we'll get together.

Do you also handle ducks? I have need of 3 Leghorns (would raise chicks to hens or accept hens). Also looking for 2 muscovy hens or chicks, & need to find a new home for my beautiful white Muscovy sire. Unless there is a need for a muscovy breeder/s…
Send me an e-mail at wjfaint@cox.net and we'll touch base.

Am interested in getting a few chickens. I think I want three RIR.

edit- I have a few other questions about your available breeds and colors- I'll send you a message so that I don't junk up the thread :)
Hi Kristin, I'll be setting my first gold laced wyandottes tomorrow, we'll know in 3 weeks what we've got! I'll let you know when they're ready.

I didn't get a chance to thank you Doreen but this was VERY informative, a must for all newbies!
So I cooked the first of the rabbits we processed last week. Fried it like chicken. What went wrong is I have never fried chicken and I cooked it too long resulting in rubber rabbit so I popped it into the crockpot for three hours and it was divine…
I was just reviewing John Jeavon's book How to Grow More Vegetables and in it he mentions planting Mexican marigold (Tagetes minuta) for controlling nematodes.
Hi Brittany,
Now is sure the time to be making Kombucha since it's been gone off the shelves for a few months now. I so miss it! I hope and pray that the issues get resolved and it comes back.
I've had some really good success with making Kombucha…
Hi Chris - I don't have a PH tester. I've always just added bagged composted mulch, steer manuer and Starbucks grounds to my existing AZ soil to ammend. Some years my spring tomatoes are really good and sometimes not so good. Is there anything in ad…
Thanks for the heads up. When should transplants go in? It's so stinking hot out there! I have an area preparred and ready to go but dragging my feet in fear of the heat.
