Stolen chickens!!! Please help. May be at a rescue

On Friday June 21, 2013, 12 hens were "rescued" from my backyard against my authority. 5124 E. Avalon Dr Phoenix AZ. I would really like my chickens back. We were on vacation and a neighbor was caring for the hens. Two days later they were gone. My landlord came by and saw we weren't home. She called a rescue to pick them up and won't tell me who she contacted. Has anyone picked up chickens in Arcadia area? Please contact me if you know of any chicken rescues in the area.

  • My rescue friends are checking, but both said to take lease to the shelters and ask about chickens, don't just call.  They are afterall your property and pictures take those also.

  • Clucky42 one more 'help' option - it was suggested to me that you contact one of the TV help lines.

  • Clucky42 - I found "a" rescue group out in Tonapah - they may or may not have information but worth a call.

  • Clucky - post this on the main forum page too.  FB pages I posted on are sending the info around too, but every site will aid you more on getting the word out.

  • I posted on FB Arizona Backyard Farmers - hopefully someone will know something about this.  Very sad for you.  Good luck.

  • I'll keep a look out.  In the meantime you might want to post on BackYardChickens.com in the Arizona thread.  It's under "where am I where are you" in the forum.

    Let us know if you find them!

    and turn the landlord in, that's terrible!

    • Thanks just did! More exposure to these creeps the more likely I will find my girls!

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your landlord stealing your chickens.  If you have not already done so, you may want to check the Landlord/Tenant Act of AZ.  If you have a written lease, your landlord may have broken the law by accessing the property without your consent.  You can find the act here:  http://www.azhousing.gov/ShowPage.aspx?ID=484&CID=11

    Section 33-1343 applies to access.  Good luck getting your girls back.

  • My heart goes out to you Clucky. Please let us know how this turns out. It seems that what your landlord did could have been considered illegal.

    • It is but police are hesitant to get in landlord tenant laws. Fortunately a county animal control officer knows the law and is helping us out. In the meantime.... Social media and Internet is my best hope. Thank you for you condolences. Please feel free to share on social medi. Thanks!
