For years, household hens have been trending in Arcadia, with the occasional rooster cock-a-doodle-dooing in the neighborhood nests as well. Kelly is an Arcadia mother of two with a “quaint little chicken coop in the backyard.” “We’re a family of four. We have three chickens, one dog and a garden. It’s a lot of fun,” Kelly said. Whether it’s the idea of collecting fresh eggs for Sunday brunch, teaching their children how to care for animals, or learning about sustainable living, Arcadia families are finding plenty of reasons to rule the roost at their homesteads. One Arcadia family of eight has had free-range chickens in their yard for five years. “That’s why we do it a bit differently,” said this mother hen of six. “We let our chickens free-range in the yard. We have seven that lay eggs and it’s not enough for our family. So, I still buy eggs from the grocery store and we can always tell a difference when you crack the eggs open. Our chickens’ yolks are a deeper yellow, and we really like the flavor of the eggs our chickens lay.” Another reason why this Arcadia family allows their chickens to roam around their yard is to naturally work their manure into the soil. “While they forage for food, they scratch around and dig up the dirt. When we do feed the [chickens], we’ll try to feed them underneath the orange trees so they’ll fertilize them,” she added. City of Phoenix municipal code 8-7 identifies the zoning regulations related to having chickens in a residential area. The code includes limits on how many “head of poultry” homeowners can have, and how and where they are to be housed. These regulations have been nothing to ruffle residents’ feathers about in family friendly, animal-loving Arcadia. The home chicken craze has adults as well as children feeling sunny side up and seems to be the best-hatched idea since backyard trampolines. Interested in adding some feathered friends to your family? You may want to check out one of the Valley’s most unique home tours happening next month on November 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour de Coops, a self-guided backyard chicken coop tour in Phoenix since 2009, is organized under the 501(c)(3) environmental education nonprofit organization, Valley Permaculture Alliance. Advance tickets can be purchased for $20 per person (children 12 and under are free). Check out vpaaz.org/Tourde- Coops for more information. Perhaps your family is ready to feather its nest with its very own one-of-a-kind henhouse. Native Arcadian (and my twin brother), Michael Kalil, heard what all of the cluck was about and began building custom chicken coops by request. “I wanted to find something I could do with my grandfather on our own time, outside of my work schedule,” Michael said. “My grandpa’s been doing private contracting his whole life, and I thought this could be fun for us, as well as an additional source of income.” Michael’s standard coop is relatively simple and comfortably holds three chickens. The upper half includes the coop and a separate area for a small herb garden. The bottom portion is a visible, enclosed area (using either 1/2 hardwire cloth or chicken wire) where the chickens can roam around and take the ladder back up to the homey coop.

Let that be your guide. There is an old saying that “Fashion goes out of style but style doesn’t go out of fashion.” If you can find your style, you’ll find what to wear for any occasion. The same goes for home décor, find your style and go with it. • Be age sensitive but don’t be confined. • If price is an issue, buy less product but better product. • Push it a little. Always go a little outside your comfort zone. • Always get input from a trusted loved one. My wife has a better eye for things than I do.
