The Flow Hive. Australian. Looks pretty cool but it's new and thusly... untested. And quite expensive. If it's getting good reviews after a season or two of use, I'd pick up a set of Flow Hive frames.

I set up my first hive a few weeks ago... So I'm new at this, too. I located my hive, and coop, with the welfare of my food producing beings and my neighborhood always in mind. That I have a yard which is considerably larger than most around here will never be a reason to go overboard. I have...

I just don't know what's wrong with some of you mostly rural folks (no one here, of course!). Here in the city... Chicago... We have no rules prohibiting chickens or roosters. Neighbors stop by to "meet the fella that wakes me up every morning" and say "don't ever get rid of him or I'll have to...

Last week I picked up a pair of traps from tractor Supply , for a buddy with squirrels in his attic... The pair, a raccoon sized trap with a squirrel sized trap packed inside, cost just $25 on sale. The squirrels were captured and relocated within a few hours. I imagine the small trap could...

It sure would be a good enough reason for me! They are on my list...

Uhhh... We might need it?

Ditto BigE... This has been quite an entertaining thread. It has probably made more than just me wonder how such a situation could be handled. I have a new rooster who is just beginning to crow. So far he seems to be quite a late sleeper. I have spoken with most of the neighbors already an I...

Yes... You may trim whatever flora encroaches onto you property... Yet beware of recording conversations. In som sates (my Illinois is one) such activity may land you in legal trouble unless all parties consent to the recording. Photographs and silent motion pictures taken from your property or...

Re: Strange Laws Apparently there is no limit to the number of hens or roosters you may keep as pets/for eggs in Chicago. I'm happy with my six hens for now.

I actually like most of it. Great neighbors. We all pitch in to shovel out the alleys and corners when the snow comes. We take turns mowing the front parts of the yards in the summer. They like my hens! You get used to the noise... If you are talking when a train or plane comes by you just...

I was thinking about what you said, AmericanMom, and I'm thinking about how generally noisy it is in Chicago... Trains across the street... Expressway and two more train lines 6 blocks away... Airplanes overhead about to land... And the general daily noise of the rest of the city... It's so...

Does it trump your right to your livelihood, to produce fertile eggs to raise more chickens... Just trying to think of something... The ordinance is unjust and needs to be changed.

Good golly... I Good golly... If you haven't done this yet, It might be worth having someone of authority show you EXACTLY how the town can prevent you from keeping a rooster on your 26 acre FARM. I would complain and object and appeal and do it all over again and again and again until they...

I hope the fence is up soon. Hope the conflict ends when the fence is up.

Maybe you should get a can of orange marking paint. Spray an X for the stake. Maybe spray an arrow pointing towards the street with a date in the future, just to confuse her. Or do nothing. Let her wonder
