Welcome Roosten!

You found the right place!

Thanks! That's me!

We are moving from San Diego to the SE Phoenix area... probably Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, or so... I tried to look up laws last night about having chickens and found something about 200 ft from neighbors. Does that sound right to all of you? That means you really have to have a good sized yard to have chickens... And I'm assuming most houses with HOAs do not allow backyard chickens. Any thoughts/advice would be helpful!

Thanks!

Of course various townships have different laws.

Most folks around here are pretty much against HOA's - several have been de-chickened by their HOA.

Mostly it is around 6 hens, no roos in a non HOA area.

I live in a county island so it is a free-for-all.

And Welcome to our home!

if you move into the city of phoenix, here is the down low:

As always, if you have loud, obnoxious birds, they will fall under the noise ordinance if someone complains.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this article, it is hereby declared to be a nuisance and it shall be unlawful for any person to keep rodents or poultry within the City. No poultry or rodents shall be kept in an enclosure within eighty feet of any residence within the City. Poultry may be kept within eighty feet of a residence if written permission consenting to the keeping of poultry less than eighty feet from a residence is first obtained from each lawful occupant and each lawful owner of such residence. Poultry shall not be kept in the front yard area of any lot or parcel within the City. Poultry and rodents shall be kept in an enclosure so constructed as to prevent such poultry and rodents from wandering upon property belonging to others.
(b) No more than twenty head of poultry nor more than twenty-five head of rodents nor more than twenty-five head comprising a combination of rodents and poultry shall be kept upon the first one-half acre or less. An additional one-half acre shall be required for each additional twenty head of poultry or for each additional twenty-five head of rodents or for each additional twenty-five head comprising a combination of poultry and rodents. For areas larger than two and one-half acres the number of poultry or rodents shall not be limited.

Hey, they know where the treats come from! Before our birds were banned from the back patio they used to congregate right outside the sliding glass door. Then they learned they could peck at the glass until they got our attention. I guess they also had us trained well. There's just something awkward about eating dinner with a flock of chickens looking on.

I love it. I go outside to the Chicken Yard and enjoy my lunch in the 105 degree sun (no shade), just to be with my chickens and have them gather around me. They know when I am done they'll get a treat.

Especially if it's a chicken dinner....

Oh....that's terrible. ) I give mine a can of tuna on occation and they love it. Someone said not to give them meat as it makes them aggressive. I am not sure who or if they ment beaf but I know many of bird love to catch fish. Why not chickens, ducks do it.
