Are chickens allowed in Mesa? How about roosters?
You may have up to 10 chickens on the first one-half acre or less provided any enclosure is at least 40...
Long time no posting for me, crazy busy here. Finally catching up on the thread while I am down with bronchitis. I was wondering how everyone faired with the 100+ temp today. Looks like I'll be hooking up the mister tomorrow.
Nova - so sorry to hear about your flock. That is just awful.

I was wondering if you ended up keeping that kitten.
Yeah. He's quite a personality. I think he was awfully young when he was orphaned because he tries to suckle on my chin. He leaves drool puddles on my pillow.
But, he's so darn cute! Last night I gave him some green tripe. That's...
Buff Orpingtons are sort of reddish so from this day forward I will be labeling my cartons "Oeufs de Poulette Rouge."

Hey AZ folks -
Annapolis MD is looking at the issue of backyard chickens. I remember when Mesa was thinking of restricting chickens and how everyone rallied to make sure that the law did not pass. Lets do the same for Annapolis Vote in the poll and leave comments on the story. They even...

I live SW of Falcon Field so the ghetto bird flight path is over my house as it heads to downtown/west Mesa. Oh, and we have the usual 3X a day circling at Frys on Greenfield and Main. During the winter the snowbirds cause about 3 wrecks a day there, 5-6 wrecks if it's senior discount...

What is with that helicopter? I think they must think we're growing something here, they do flybys every night around 10-11pm for probably 20 minutes. My husband thought I was just being paranoid. I actually started putting it on the calender and clocking it. He finally believed me...
Welcome newbies!
Thanks for the great pics Mikey - I wish I could have gone on the tour. Maybe next year. Glad that you got to see everyone's gardens before the frost hits tonight.
We are sitting out of Tour De Coops this year. We would only be interested in the East Valley and I see no point in wasting gas driving to Phoenix to pick up a map. So - please share your photos and observations. Throw some gang signs for me. Power to the chickens!!! BYC represent!
