SweenDoc, we are getting ready to move back to Greenwood from Indianapolis. Once we have moved back and settled in, I plan on circulating a petition, with a proposal that, if approved, the City Council would be able to simply put it into the current code (Chapter 6, Article 2). I'm not on here...

Thank you guys for you thoughts and concerns. Haven't been on lately, I've been in a depression funk. According to the Greenwood City planning office, the ordinance still stands. My aunt is going to take the majority of my hens, but I'm keeping my girls that I bought as day old chicks. So long...

@Mother2Hens I understand, and I appreciate the concern . I've seen similar postings like the link, thank you. I think if I keep my head down and keep quiet, I can get away with it. I've got a cousin on the Greenwood PD, hopefully that'll help keep things under the rug. I'll keep you all posted...

How far are you from Indy?!?! You can pick a couple out and HAVE THEM! I've got 21, I don't want that many!

@Faraday40 I'm going to talk to the neighbors well in advance, but I'm not particularly worried about them. In addition, where we're going to stick the coop and run won't be visible from the street. My girls are pretty quiet, so they shouldn't be a noise issue. When we stayed with the in laws...

@Mom2hens I appreciate your concern. My FIL is a very meticulous, plan ahead kind of guy. We currently don't own our home, we're squatting in my step dads home. The way my FIL is going to set it up, well own our own home. And my wife doesn't want to lose her childhood home. Greenwood still...

Hello all, I hope your new year is better than ours. We've had a tumultuous turn of events that may end up in my having to give up my flock. The morning of the 1st, my mother in law passed away. She had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two weeks before Christmas, and had just started...

Noticed there hasn't been any recent activity on this thread, but hoping someone will see this and offer guidance: due to family circumstances we may have to be moving to greenwood. We currently live on the west side of Indy and have 12 chickens, 11 hens and a roo. I just got them late last...

Alright.... so I'm not sure if I said anything before on her but I raise rabbits as well. I recently (in the last 2 days) went from a stock of 5, to 21, all over 8 weeks (legal minimum age for sale). My FIL had four, but with my MIL getting diagnosed with ST4 pancreatic cancer, didn't want the...

Depending on the lighting, they look blue, but they're about a happy medium between powder blue and a pastel, 1970s aqua haha. I'm hoping that the roosters (EE) will get all bowchickawowow with my brown egg laters and make me some Olive Eggers. I'd rather hatch my own than pay 11 a chick from...

Sorry about your losses guys.... I can't imagine loosing one of the girls I've raised going before she's a "Doweger ". Hope things start looking up for all of you!

I've never seen one so small either I saw it on the ground and had to shoo everyone away to get to it before they trampled it. It was already cracked. When I opened it it had virtually no yolk, but the dog liked it haha. The blue one came from Lucille, one of our two EEs.

Exciting morning for us!! One of our pullers laid her first egg!! I don't know if it was the Brahma Buff, Blue Orpington, or Wellsummer, but they all got thanked and given extra love this morning! Not a bad haul for the morning after a hard freeze either!

Wylde is back! I had left the door to our storage shed cracked hoping it would entice him, and it did. I went to go do my last egg check and decided to check the shed, and lol and behold, there he was. Just sitting on the riding mower like he was hot stuff. After a 5 minute battle, mostly with...
