Well I was up this morning to hopefully to catch Kent being a roster..
I had the recorder ready.. Nothing... I will try again tomorrow..
You can tell I am a newbie, huh? It is the little things..
I don't know any of the official rules so I am no help there. I do believe though that Mesa is kinda more forgiving when it comes to people and there animals than a lot of cities. As long as your not ticking off you neighbors you should be fine. Now that I've reread your post it says your in a tract home; which is often associated with HOA's. That could be a whole different set of issues!
How fun! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time--birds will be coming home from the fair Sunday evening. Maybe we can have a coffee get together some morning?
sure... I can do mon,tue after 7:45 am or Fridays... I am planning
on the fair.. Next week..
Will be at the fair on Thursday. Will be looking for your fuzzies!!!
What is the best time to go, also best place to park? It will be my first time since
I was a young, young adult. We are going only for the farm animals... Mostly chickens..
I went to the Az state farmweb site.
Did not see anything regarding farm animals.. I will try again..
I'm just learning on the computor.. Want to catch up on the digital age..
I put a button thinking I am going to a certain place ... Then end up somewhere
else.. Also I am a blonde...
I have been reading through the Old-Timers thread for the last couple of weeks and got through the first 570 pages (800+ Total). Whatever you do, read the first, original post, because some sensitive newbies with their pretty pink fu-fu coops and diaper-wearing lap chickens may be offended. They explain how raising chickens was back in the day for eggs and meat. Their chickens weren't/aren't spoiled, but were/are well-kept.
These folks shoot straight from the hip, and can help eliminate alot of drama going on with today's small flocks, which the OT's have never seen, and it's up to you to accept or reject what they have to offer. And, don't believe everything you read in those "how to" chicken books.
One main thing that really disturbed me, and an issue I never thought about, is that if more cities allowed chickens, it would increase the likelihood of more knuckle-head ignorant, irresponsible, negligent chicken owners which could probably bring in disease and no telling what other type of cooties into the human population. I'm not talking about the folks here 'cause truly you love and care about your birds or you wouldn't be on this board in the first place, but you'll always find some out there just like the ones who neglect their furry pets and farm animals with unsanitary conditions, neglect, lack of food, water, shelter, abuse.
Their main goal is sharing how good husbandry over the years results in a healthy, thriving flock with minimal issues, no matter if you have hatchery chicks or expensive stock from a true breeder. The health issues and dramas voiced these days from the newbies are unheard of to the Old-Timers. A $200 vet bill for a chicken? No way.
Just my opinion, I encourage you to go to the OT thread, because you may do yourself and your chickens an injustice if you don't heed some of their advice, and many of the minute, nit-picky backyard issues can be eliminated. Raising chickens should not be as complicated as some have made it out to be today. It wasn't complicated and drama-laden back in the day, so why should it be any different now.
This has not been a paid advertisement of the OT's, and I approve this message...LOL!
