    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    I actually have a patient who goes with his father to the oil fields in ND and works many hours a week. He is a welder... a dangerous job in the oil fields. He makes enough money to live for a few months, comes back to be with his family (has a wife and 2 kids), gets his teeth worked on and...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Well, I'm still going through severe roo withdrawal. I was happy to go out today and find a marans egg and two w/bw Ameraucana eggs, but I know they are no longer fertile and that bugs me A LOT. I'm also going through Icelandic withdrawal. I REALLY miss them. I've dreamed a lot about moving...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Quote: Had the inspection on Wednesdayand the gentleman said that if he were the neighbor he would allow me to have chickens as he said it all looked very clean. Indeed, they are getting ready to sell. And here's the bad part, once they sell I would have to get the new owners to sign another...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Well, I am convinced that my back yard neighbors were the ones that complained, we had a long talk about flies and smells. Got the mobile notary to come over and... THEY SIGNED THE AFFIDAVIT!!!!! I can keep 20 hens, my boys (and me) will just need to take a tad better care of the run and...

    DW and I will be going over to the neighbors later this afternoon with the affidavit. If they sign, they weren't the complainers. If they don't sign, then I know who the complainers were. Hmmm. syringe with roundup. I like it.

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Quote: I would have to bring in a cherry picker (and knock down my fence) that could go way high and if I cut back my third, it still wouldn't make much difference. Our block fence would also end up damaged between us.....

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    See they have a HUGE tree and over a third of it sits over my property. It has beautifully shaded the coop, but without chickens I don't want it there.. It is a pain in the hind end to have to clean the pool 3 times a day, 365 days a year. It's either leaves, or blossoms or seeds... and if I...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Well the inspector came by, said everything looked great, looked for a roo, couldn't find any. Said within 10 days I need an affidavit signed and notarized by my neighbors on the east giving me permission to keep the hens, otherwise I need to say goodbye to the hens. He said straight out...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Glad you will all get to know Boston as he also has my FBCM stock and Meg's EEs. Still no inspector, but I'm ready. I was thinking of buying one of those silent dog whistles so that when they bring there dogs into the back yard, I can blow it and make them bark louder than they usually and...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Just want you all to know how much I appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers. Everything is as ready for the inspector as it can be. If the remaining 20 hens have to go, I won't be a happy camper. There aren't any crowing roos so hopefully we'll be OK, unless of course the inspector...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Well I'm down to 16 hens and 3 pullet chicks. I still have the heritage BR that I got from Kathyinmo, but he is spoken for and doesn't crow so I think I'm safe for a day or two. New sod has been laid down (and we'll lay more tomorrow) where there were bare patches and both of the 4 X 10 X 6...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    Needless to say, I'm physically ill over this. If it's the neighbor on the east, I'm messed up because I don't have their written permission even though he told me he didn't mind. If it's the neighbor on the north, all I have to do is get rid of the roos and keep my number of hens under 20 and...

    Guess I'm done breeding chickens... got a letter from the city

    title says it all. Just hope you can all pray that I can keep 20 layers for the house. All the roos and breeding pens have to be gone by Monday evening. Guess I'll still join in with you all when you incubate on NYD and Easter, I just won't be doing anymore incubating. Wish I could afford...
