The neighbor complained of feathers in her yard which is funny cuz everytime the wind blows the leaves and pods from her tree end up in my yard and pool. Anyway my coop is situated on the far east side of my house and that neighbor said he has no problem with the chickens but the officer said...
Not really because the statute says you have to have the coop 75 feet away from all residences. We have the coop on one side of the house next to neighbors that said they didn't mind and never complained. I explained that to animal control and he said it didn't matter. Even if the neighbors...

Ok I think my Rhode Island Red hen is molting. Her appetitie has decreased, she isn't laying eggs and she pretty much lays around most of the day. My concern is I noticed tonight that she isn't roosting she is laying down under the roost box. Is this normal?
Thanks
