These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

I haven't gotten any chickens yet but I'm trying to find out what the laws are here in Hollister regarding chickens. I've searched the city website and I'm not finding anything there and I'm not sure who to contact to find out. If anyone has any information, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, neighbor.

I suggest you call someone in city government, maybe the Mayor's office or whatever your equivalent is or if you have a specific council representative try them, and ask them who to talk to. Or call the local law enforcement (not an emergency call) and find out who the animal enforcement officer is.

You need to be a lawyer to interpret some of those written rules and regulations. Sometimes you find one paragraph and think one thing, but a totally different paragraph somewhere else kicks in. I'd look for the person that is going to enforce those rules and talk directly to them.

Good luck!!!
