@SonoranChick Racers are pretty skinny right - at least the ones around here are. I've only seen one in the long number of years we've been here - a red racer - mouth didn't look big enough!
@BlueBaby - a broody hen would kill to the end if they had guts enough to come near them/their babies or eggs. There are a few YouTubes out there.......
Sometimes the king snake that lives at the neighbors mostly will come into the yard - seems to have done it often and the girls just ignore it. Makes me jump but not them!
Anyone have chickens in the Tucson Diamond Bell Ranch area? Wondering if it's a rooster friendly neighborhood...
Thanks! We are looking at relocating in the coming months. I love my silkies, showgirls, and having a couple roosters around. We plan to have an acre or two, but I understand if a neighbor complains about noise, it would be a problem even if they're legal to own. I hope to find a poultry friendly neighborhood. I can't imagine not having chickens - roosters included. I would never stay. After a couple years of getting used to the area, we'll likely get a large acreage where this won't be an issue. This is a starting off point. If there's anyone in the area who can put my mind at ease I'll be very happy. I can already see the area has an obscene number of fearless coyotes, so free ranging will not be a thing. One gave us a stink eye for making it get up and out of the road so we could drive through.
Three Points is pretty rural - you'll probably be fine with roosters there. They aren't allowed in Tucson, though.Yeah those are my paint silkies and showgirls. I've drastically reduced my flock and hope to bring some with me. We are definitely avoiding hoas, and looking outside city limits, which is why Diamond Bell Ranch is appealing.
