Thank you for your response. It is good to know it wasn't just me, or me not spending enough time hand raising the little buggers. I keep them for eggs production, and spent some time handling them...

Rachel,
thanks for the advice and the class you taught. I should have plenty of room for the five birds in the run (when they get there), as there are only five and it will be 8'x21'. They will be more crowded in the summer under the shade, but i...
I think that temperament is a much more important issue than size. Of course if you end up with a small bird way down on the pecking order from some Jersey Giants or something, then that's bad news. When you say bullying, does that mean there's bl...
Thank you for your response. It is good to know it wasn't just me, or me not spending enough time hand raising the little buggers. I keep them for eggs production, and spent some time handling them as chicks just to be sure I could handle them lat...

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I live in Central Phoenix. I teach middle school: this is my first year teaching science to 7th graders. Last year, I taught writing to them. I love to read, which I had time for when I was a stay-at-home mom for many years (after I quit working as a lawyer. The "lawyering biz" pays better and is easier but teaching is much more important.) I have a husband of 27 yrs, 3 teens, many interests and not enough time. I have 9 hens, 2 parakeets, 1 cat 3 dogs 5 AZ desert tortises 2 African desert tortises, 1 bunny, and board 3 horses with a friend. I don't garden at present because I hate veggies (veggies are what food eats) and my attempts to understand how to do it in this dessert have failed so far.

I had rsvp'd for two people unfortunately we can't make it :-(
Deeper than a pot called a 'bowl' which is too shallow for the roots when it gets hot. If you choose one that is about 15" across it will be deep enough as long as it is not a 'bowl'. Hope this helps.
