    Lack of Egg Pigment

    Two days in a row I have got an egg, white in color and lots of bumps, size is good. All my birds are brown layers. Having abnormal eggs is not uncommon to me, but thought I would ask. Other chickens and eggs are normal. Is something wrong with the Chicken or is it just a phase? All are acting...

    Neighbors Complained to Town about Rooster Noise!!!!

    With noise complaints, RTF act or not, you will lose. If they only have a problem at night, insulate (sound proof as best you can) your coop to help muffle the noise. let the Zoning Officer know that you are taking steps to minimize the noise, also talk to your neighbor. I now you don't want to...

    Someone Complained, Chickens Must Go -- Joliet, IL

    When there exists a discrepancy in the Ordinance, the law favors the Homeowner. Also, as I stated before, check the revision to see if anything was added. If they added (d) and you had them prior to the enactment of the new Ordinance, you are grandfathered. PS (I am a Zoning Officer in PA)...

    Ask again for the definition of "farm animals". Also, it appears the Ordinance was revised on 12/7/10. Ask to see the Ordiniance that this replaced to see if they added (d) or language to (d). Maybe I missed it, but were you cited or receive a written Notice of Violation?

    Get a copy of your particular zoning district information (the district in which your property is located). You can request it under the freedom of information act, but they do have five days in which to respond to your request. If the Zoning Officer has a clue, he will give it to you right...

    It does not matter what the Mayor thinks, feels or has a personal opinon about. It depends what the Ordinance says. If they are saying you have "farm animals", read the definition and see if "chickens" are in the definition located in the Ordinance. Also, they cannot pass a "new" ordinance and...

    Should flock have a small nightlight?

    I have been thinking about solar a light for the winter to prolong the daylight feeling, but I wonder if a light being on all night would bother them or alter behavior?

    Weird egg?

    Three young Golden Buffs (red sex links) So I have gotten some strange eggs lately, some huge double yokers, some almost white eggs, but this is a first. This morning my daughter said that an egg was laid in the run, almost white in color. I didn't think much of it as it seemed fine. All three...

    How many wine makers do we have here?

    Hi Totalcolour, question for you. So I thought I was ready to bottle a batch of Syrah that has been sitting in a secondary for about 8 weeks. (again, my directions tell me to bottle) I noticed today that it is still giving off tiny air bubbles, very slowly, but they are there. There is a little...
