I think, perhaps, I will call this one "long version complete" and start with a fresh, blank text document for an attempt at making short and sweet. :) http://www.fileden.com/files/2012/10/27/3360974/PoultryPals-InfoDoc.pdf

Well, it started out as seven pages and alot of text, I've edited, snipped, and tried to rephrase in shorter form, added photos, and realized that most of the programs I've grown to love working with over the years no longer work (new computer blues) and now it's ten pages... how'd that happen...

I had been planning on going, even though it won't affect me in the city limits I'd still like to support the effort to legalize chickens in the county and hope they manage to get it. But I got confused when the information about the public workshop disappeared from the county website, and with...

You guys are truly wonderful, thank you. localri, the first document you linked to... you wrote that? It's beautiful. You managed to condense everything into 4 pages? :ep That'll be the hard part for me, I think... I've always had a tendency to use an excessive number of words. Perhaps the...

Please don't kill the native frogs and toads on purpose, their tadpoles eat mosquito larvae and other aquatic insects as well as algae. Once they've come out of the water they'll eat mosquitoes, roaches, and any other bugs that might try to move in with your chickens at night. Given the...

Thank you, and please... I would love photos if you would be ok with me using them. I had thought about asking around here but wasn't sure what the best way to do it would be. Then there was an idea for an ad on craigslist, which seemed like it could go very wrong, but I don't know, maybe it...

I've noticed many of the groups trying to get their chicken laws changed have a pdf document full of chicken information to send to their officials. After reading through a bunch it occured to me that none of them would fit what we needed and started writing one for us. For chickens, yes...

:hugs (That's really about all I have to say about that.) Oh... hey... about the crowing all day... I think, maybe, if it's after whatever might be considered a decent hour, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Depending on the native birds in the area, they'll sound much louder to the...

I don't know anything personally about caponizing, just what I've read in a couple of threads in the meat birds section of the forum: here and here Warning: Both have graphic pictures, so if you're squeamish... might want to pass. I had the same thoughts about the possibility of capons as pets...

:gig I see, three could be enough. Filing that away for future reference, thank you.

Chickens? What chickens? Haven't you ever heard of the feathered schnozer? ;)

I've been meaning to respond to this specifically but got a little side-tracked. Jenny, no offense taken here, and I hope my original response to the question wasn't perceived as such. Sticking with what I wrote before though, property ownership = land owner rights. One could choose to have X...

Hi! I've actually been wondering about that too... so fluffy... :love

Ruskin! :) My ducks are near you, at least I hope they're still there and have adjusted to their new home at Sun City Stables. I've been afraid to go and find out, wouldn't be able to handle bad news... but I think we left them in capable hands. I have, but I only just started reading...

Hello fellow Floridians! :frow Thought it might be about time to ask to be added to the list. Bradenton, that would be West Coast, southern Tampa Bay, just north of Sarasota, within Manatee County. Currently birdless and working on changing the ordinance. We need more likes on the page, if...
