I do not think any of my gals weigh 7 pounds. They are all about the same height, give or take a little. All of my gals are hatchery. I know my Gold Laced Wyandotte only weighs in at 4 lbs ( the vet weighed her) All my gals seem to be doing well with the heat.
My Australorp (back right) is bigger than my Welsummer (back left) and my Speckled Sussex (in front of the Welsummer) My Black Sex-Link is in back middle and my Delaware is the only white one

What nice pictures, Chris! I have such a hard time getting decent pictures of my girls.

I still can't get any pictures to upload. AGGGH!

Oh no. Pesky HOAs, I can't stand 'em. I can understand certain value in them but for the most part they need to get a life. I hope so much I can find a house outside of one but the only houses I'm finding are in them. I finally figured out how to find CC&R's on the Pinal County Recorder's page but they're so cryptic, there's so much to read through, and because it's a scan of the document I can't use the search function. So far I believe I've found one HOA that is okay with the chickens, the other one which I was hoping more to move into does not.
How did it happen? Did your neighbors have a problem with the chickens or something? I'm so looking forward to introducing myself to potential neighbors when house hunting by asking if they would mind if I had chickens in the backyard...
Anyway, I'm really sorry that's happening. Is there anything you can do?

Oddly, the cc&r's on disk given at close do not appear to match the cc&r's attached to the letter of complaint. I review most carefully before I got chickens, even running it by my landlord for permission.

The concerns are frivolous.

Give me a call; I can probably help figure it out for you. Which is your HOA, what is the date on the CC&Rs you were given at closing and the date of the ones on the complaint letter? Do you own or lease (since you refer to a landlord)?

That is unbelievable! What a disaster! I sure hope they don't have the last word!
I don't know anything about these issues (I am in farm country) but I know that for examples HOAs will try to tell you you can't have solar panels but you can! Maybe we need to start flooding the governor's office with petitions to make it a statewide law to be able to have chickens. After all you can have dogs and cats!? What do Gilbert ordinances include about this topic? Anybody married to a chicken obsessed attorney?

In the worst case let me know when I can come and help you move to friendlier pastures! I am still not done with my own move (2 years and counting

) so I am all warmed up!

I am extremely conversant with Arizona HOA statutes, and yes, one has a right to put up solar panels, but one does not have a legal right to chickens

However, being given a copy of the CC&Rs at closing that are not the correct ones (assuming htat is the case) is a HUGE error on hte part of the HOA or its managment company. Now this is not specifically addressed in the statutes, but in other areas it is specifically addressed that giving incorrect information (fees owed, liens, etc.) or after a stated timeframe (is was already short, and is now even shorter) wipes out liens and arrearages.

At closing one has to sign a sheet acknowledging that the CC&Rs are a binding legal contract. Now, if one is giving an incorrect version of the CC&Rs, that opens a whole can of worms as you agree to be bound by one thing, but then they try to enforce something else upon you? Over time the CC&Rs can be changes, but all members have the right to vote, and it usually takes a huge percentage to approve changes. The board cannot make CC&R changes; only the membership has that authority.
 
I found what I need at higley feed's. I have tried every feed store 2 hours away and nothing...thank goodness my husband is in phx!
