Laying Hen or Pullets - Available NOW
Select breeds of young laying hens, 8+ weeks to experienced layers, are available today. These layers are perfectly suited for all. Arizona has made it legal to own chickens even if you live in an HOA.
Current Availability (As of December 1, 2024): We maintain a limited inventory of young hens and mature laying hens. Our breeds selection features similarly-appearing hybrid breeds that may be marketed under different names by various breeders, though they share the same genetic makeup (great egg laying). These hens have proven themselves to be reliable layers.
Performance and Longevity: Any hen listed as approximately 22 months are heat-hardy hens that have successfully gone through two Arizona summers. They have 1-2 years of productive laying ahead still. We don't provide the hens supplemental light, this helps provide you the opportunity to get a LOT of eggs from these hens.
Our Hen Guarantee for any listed as 8+ week olds: We stand behind our hens with a money-back guarantee. In the unlikely event you receive a rooster, simply provide photographic documentation via email, and we'll refund the full purchase price of that bird.
Important Notes:
- Local pickup only at the Roots Ranch location (near Globe)
- Reference photos are representative of breed characteristics; actual birds may vary in appearance
- We will box the hens up and have them ready to take home when you get to the ranch

Our commitment ensures that your hen is correctly sexed, with a money-back guarantee if that hen is not. This breed will be 8-10 weeks old when you bring it home, unless the available options state differently. At this age, they're already fully feathered and accustomed to being outside, embracing the adventure of being outside while they eagerly await their new coop. The selected date indicates the week the hens will be ready to come home to their new coop.
We strive to provide a thriving and well cared for chickens to you. We provide Non-GMO feed, yogurt, raw milk, and tested regularly by state and veterinarians for healthy birds. We go the extra miles for your peace of mind!

Fabulous Hens! Great Customer Service!!
I ordered (3) BCM hens. They are healthy, happy and so sweet. What a fantastic addition to our flock. I had the opportunity to talk with Colwyn from AZ, and mentioned I was having a some trouble with my teen rooster. He was positive, encouraging and shared some advice that was quick to resolve my issue.I highly recommend AZ.

Great birds
This is my second batch I’ve received from AZ chickens and I couldn’t be happier. The mature hens are great egg layers and the processed males have good meat.
