Hmm, isn't Douglas County having contract issues with their teachers. True about the further west you go the more expensive. But the further west is also greener IMO. I miss the green since moving up here to Brighton. We were in unincorporated Jefferson County and we had roos. There are many little nooks and areas in Jeffco that will allow roos. In the town of Arvada they only allow 2 yes just 2 hens. Up north here and further is pretty ag and there are many folks with roos up here. Actually there are many options since your flexible. Good luck !!!
We're moving from south Florida-will be a big change!! We have flexibility as far as the exact area we can move to. My biggest factor is it just has to be a place that is chicken (including rooster) friendly, as I would never leave them behind! And also I'd like to of course get more. As it is, my neighbor thinks my parrot is the one crowing LOL and they think its so funny so they havent complained. But, when we relocate I Just dont want to have to worry about it. I've been looking into different towns and stuff but then thought I might find out more on here.plus, everyone I've met who has chickens is just so friendly!!
It will probably be about a year until we move so I have plenty of time.
ohhhh... I love coop pictures. Painting my coop this week.Our girls are out in the coop today for the first time, and spending their first night in it! Well, 4 out of 5 are out there. My little girl who was on her deathbed last weekend will stay inside with me a little longer until she's ready. They seem to be enjoying the space so far. Coop pictures to come in the next couple of days.
My SIL came over tonight to give me a conure named Maggie who needed a home. While she was here, I asked her to check on my girls. What I had assumed to be a too rough rooster, she seems to think is hen pecked. I have saddles on the girls when they aren't being washed but it doesn't seem to be doing much good. So, now that changes things a bit. What can I get locally to help their backs if it is hen pecked? I'm off to Big R tomorrow to pick up some straw and some ivermectin as the all the babies are now 4 months old.
I feel like such a dunce to not to have figured it out. She also brought one of my RIRs home with her. She only has a nice roo, a brahma, at her house and her flock are still babies. She should have tons of time to recuperate. She's also a SAHM so can keep a better eye of her while she's inside.
Most of us here try so very hard to be responsible and proactive chicken owners. I know I read as much as I can and spend my evenings prusing sites on different husbandtry techniques. But reading just isn't the same as doing and I learn that more and more each day.
