    Annapolis County, Nova Scotia?

    Having a ton of trouble figuring out the status of backyard chickens in Annapolis County. The most recent articles about the area are all years old and I can't find anything on the Annapolis County bylaws website. We're looking to make a move on a rural home but have been hearing conflicting...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I'm trying to tame (relatively speaking) a pair of unintentionally free-ranging cockerels and a pullet, so today they got mealworms, cooked eggs in olive oil, sesame seeds, and parmesan cheese. They've gone from not coming within 20 ft of me to begging for food within a foot of me in about four...

    The Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) Thread!

    I'm doing a lot of research on what kind of chickens to get for my first flock. I'm not committed to a single purpose (eggs, table, combo or show). I just want a flock to dote on, if I'm totally honest. I LOVE the look of these birds, but my brain, much to the chagrin of my heart, wants to be...

    Yet another newbie!

    Hi! I'm from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and just starting to plan my first coop! I have experience with other peoples' chickens, but this'll be the first time I get my very own. I'm looking at Swedish Flower Hens or Spitzhaubens (or maybe even game birds?) at the moment - but it's...

    Midisland Vancouver Island checking in! Would love to find breeders on the Island! Particularly for Swedish Flower Hens or Spitzhaubens, but open to others. Also wouldn't mind making friends as chicken-crazy as me.
