I am zoned for only the 3 in the city...shhhhhhhhh.
Your EE reminded me of my first EE. Her name was Sadie Hawk. She turned out to be a he so I had to give him away to a guy who lost most of his flock. She/he was a beautiful bird.
We are city dwellers and can only have 3 chickens (I'll have four eventually). Our turn overs are the result of one death (just killed over), two murders (possums-one dead one relocated), one re-homed because it was a roo (no rooster allowed in the city). My girls get to free range while I am...
Too cute. Whitie Bulger is the name of a mafia dude... my husband called her that one day and it stuck. I tried other names but kept going back to Whitie Bulger. My EE "Sadie Hawk" is younger than than the RIR. They both got along pretty good. Lately the EE has been challenging my RIR for any...
I've had several turn overs of the 3 chickens I'm allowed as a city dweller. This is my final answer.
One RIR Gretta van So stern, Easter Egger Sadie hawk,
and now Whitie Bulger (not sure what kind she is).
Hope they are ALL girls.
Just checked. No violations if a person relocates a wild animal (rat, mice, racoon, possum, squirrel etc). City did provide this service but a private company will take care of it for a fee.
So sorry. 10 lost. At least my husband can seek revenge of the possums and we will fortify the coop. If our dog had done it, I'd just have to say "bad dog" and work on home bound control.
Update on my three pullets. My husband called me at 3:30am to tell me something killed two of our chickens. It was a possum. It only took their heads off but didn't eat anything. He found the possum in a tree above the chicken run. It's dead now. I'm so sad about it. I'm out of town taking care...
