WOOT WOOT!! Health Dept official just left after looking at our property and giving us a thumbs up! (For any future Omahans looking at this thread, we have a typical suburban lot within city limits). Off to the lumberyard for construction materials for our Cackleberry Cottage. Since we won't be getting chicks till next spring, I 'm going to be able to monitor coop conditions this winter and hopefully be able to correct any deficiencies in weatherproofing before our girls need their home. Thanks to all for this wonderful website!!!
