We're Not Clucking Around


We’re not clucking around! Recently, the city of Chandler joined Gilbert, Queen Creek, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix and Maricopa County in allowing backyard chickens. A detached single-family lot can have up to five chickens.

If you have interest in having chickens on your property, there are some secondary rules to check first. For example, some cities do not allow roosters, homeowners should check with their HOA before getting hens and there are limitations with coop structure sizing that should be checked as well. 

Chicken facts, no yolk!

Here are a few reasons why your clients might want backyard chickens:

  • A healthy hen could lay one egg a day (say goodbye to a $5 carton of eggs!)
  • Chickens can recognize people and form bonds
  • They are smart and social creatures (why have just one?)
  • Backyard chickens and gardening are symbiotic
  • Chickens are low maintenance

  Wondering How Much You Need To Save for a Down Payment? If you’re getting ready to buy your first home, you’re likely focused on saving up for everything that purchase involves. One cost that’s likely top of mind is your down payment. But don't let a common misconception about how much you need to save make the process harder than it could be.
