We live in a county island - right by a busy freeway and busy streets in Chandler, AZ.. anytime a friend comes over they are always amazed that there is all this farm property in the middle of the city! As soon as you drive into the neighborhood there are chickens EVERYWHERE!

Anyways, my mom loves them but we haven't gotten any of our own yet since we have not built a coop (shes been talking about it for years!).. every morning and night my stepdad throws some scratch grains for the neighbors chickens when he goes to feed the horses/steer. We have about 10 that have figured it out and they come like clockwork!

Here are some pictures I took - I don't know one thing about chickens so I don't know any breeds - I just know I like the goofy looking young one! He had a brother that was all black but he drown in a water bin a couple days ago











I don't know if they should be fed in the gravel or not - they don't eat when we offer food in the chicken feeders and we always have horses in the pasture so I don't want to lure them into there since I've known of a couple chickens that were stepped on by horses :/
