Jackpot, your question is probably going to have to be addressed by your specific community, rather than by your town. See, even if the town/city of Mays Landing permits chickens, if your specific seniors community has any kind of governing body (like a homeowners association, co-op...

A chronic insomniac for 55 years, the severe chronic pain of broken spine and spinal nerve pain that even morphine doesn't stop (yeah, I get "break-through pain" even when given morphine - so I don't take it any more), and - once again, unable to sleep or sit or lie down or stand - I am awake...

I want the chickens for eggs. That said, while I'm not looking to make pets out of them, I will name them. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm thinking of them as pets, though. My antique Oldsmobile has a name. So does my truck. So did the garter snake I once saved from certain death out in the...

I tried to put all pertinent info in the first post, lol. What other info is missing for you? Where I'm living now, it's just a rooster just I bought. If the people interested in this house do not buy, and/or if the owners of the new place have another before me for their farm, there is room...

A good friend, who was raised here in the rural area in which I now live and has spent all of her 63 years here (and who has kept chickens when she was younger) asked me why I am stressing about how big to make a run or enclosure for my chickens... She's asking me why I don't just open up the...

How would NON-noisy fowl protect your chickens? I think the point usually is that noisy fowl (like, say, geese) make a lot of noise to 'sound the alarm' (attract your attention) so you can go out there and protect them. If they can't sound their alarm loudly enough to let you know what's going...

Best to call your city hall or municipal building, ask for the city clerk, and ask him/her for a copy of the statutes that might pertain to you having chickens. Arrange a time to go pick up said copies. It should be free, since this is public knowledge and you can get any public info for free by...

OK. I was NOT planning on drakes or on breeding the ducks. Just having a few for eggs.

What other kinds of birds - especially water fowl - peacefully co-exist with chickens? Either same coop or separate coop(s) - but same farm and pond?? I am moving unexpectedly. My landlord has sold this house. I think I've already got a new place to move to (I'll know by next week), and it's a...

How true! lol is Teach your son that he MUST vote if he wishes to keep his own Rights and remain free (as Americans ought to be)! And that sometimes, it does come down to choosing the best of a bad lot, or among rotten candidates - but if so, then vote for the best... and then get busy making...

I'm a 'political animal'. lol I've been involved heavily in politics since my early 20s, when I was elected Comitteewoman for my district in Philadelphia (back in the early 1980s). Well, before that, really… my father, and his father before him, and his mother were all politically active. My...

Nope. Not in NJ. There's a reason why we New Jerseyeans often refer to our state as "the Gestapo State" - an obvious commentary on the stet of affairs here within "the Garden State". All that will accomplish is for the authorities to hammer down HARD on all who keep chickens, contrarily to the...

Sorry I was offline, ftfarmer22. Here's the link: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/watch-time-lapse-video-captures-nesting-bald-eagles/

Has anybody been watching the live video camera feed of the Bald Eagle eggs hatching in the tulip tree at the National Arboretum in Washington, DC, today? Mama Eagle, "Mrs First Lady", has been sitting on her two eggs without moving much at all! Papa Eagle, "Mr President", has been hanging...

That's what matters, LRH97: Full tummies, happy times & memories - and most important, the family all together. A blessed Easter season to you, too. :-)
