    5 acres, can you believe?

    Quote: Hello I just wanted to say while I do agree with you for the most part about the zoning laws and deed restrictions, I think most people don't ask if there is any restrictions on raising chickens when they buy a house. I for one just got the bright idea of raising chickens a few months...

    5 acres, can you believe?

    I would just get them and worry about it after if someone complains.I have two and a half acres not sure if there is any codes against chickens here and not really worried if there is. If I have to hear barking dogs night and day they can deal with a few chickens making noise!

    my chicks just arrived

    Quote: Glad to hear your chicks were all in good health when you picked them up, I don't think it was the hatchery as much as the delay with the post office. All the hatchery can do is ship them on the date they say they will after that its out of their hands. I did call McMurry on monday when...
