I'm glad that they allow chickens, but they make chickens sound like dirty, stinky and loud animals.
I think chickens are very clean, sweet and quiet birds.

I enjoy taking care of my hens and keeping their area clean and tidy. I suppose there are those who ruin it for everyone by not keeping up on the chores. I know they can be stinky, but I also know that with simple housekeeping, neighboring residents wouldn't even know if chickens were living right on the other side of their fence.

Since the link is dated March, why do you say there is a new ordinance as of May? As far as I can tell the ordinance has not changed?

Here is a link that shows the ordinance as of May 2011: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/phoenix-arizona-chicken-ordinance. Nothing different than your link.

Beats me, this states a revision by adding section 9-462.09

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona: Section 1. Title 9, chapter 4, article 6.1, Arizona Revised Statutes is amended by adding section 9-462.09, to read:
9-462.09. Backyard fowl regulation; prohibition; exceptions; state preemption

We Live in Glendale, AZ. We thought backyard chicken is allowed in Glendale since most municipalities in Phoenix allow backyard chicken. Last week, a city inspector came and informed us, we must remove our backyard chickens because our house is in a residential area. We have five hens almost one year old. They are very healthy and happy and laying good eggs. We really like them and treat them as our pets. If you see them, I can assure you will love them. If anyone is interested in having them in your family, please contact me at [email protected]. Thank you very much.
