    Do I need to worry about disease from pigeon poop infecting my girls? They roost on my roof and poop all over, the side yard is disgusting. I HATE them but they are impossible to get rid of - my stupid neighbor feeds them. Avian flu?

    The Eglu

    I'm a newbie in the Phoenix suburbs with a husband who HATES the idea of chickens. He refuses to help build a coop, and I am not exactly skilled with tools.

    Any other Phoenicians?

    Hi, I'm a brand newbie, and I would LOVE a local mentor to show me the ropes, and answer questions such as: Am I TOTALLY insane to try keeping chickens in this climate? Everyone seems to think so, especially my husband! Help! I need your support!
