hi, I didn't forget to come back. It's been a crazy week here with work and company staying over.
The court didn't go well, there is a continuance, I'll report back around 9-11-12 or so.
I'm rather emotional about the 'incident', the delay, and the confusion at court. I had no one to speak for...
hi, thank you everyone for your input.
I'm nervous and trying not to second-guess how it's going to go.
Will post after I find out something - and it may not be same day as hearing.
thanks again - YOU'RE ALL THE BEST!
I know I've seen this question addressed on here
before but I cannot find the thread - and time is short.
I'd appreciate any input, thanks.
The court date is this Thursday!
Two dogs killed two of my chickens. One more hen is damaged and may not lay again.
Here are the bare facts:
a police...
I am trying to be rational and adult but I am still emotional about a dog attack on my chickens several months ago.
I came home to a police note on my door and message on my answering machine.
I ran to the coop and 1 young one was already dead, two were injured and bloody.
I took them to the...
Wow.
I have read every single post. I laughed, I cried (honestly!)
I know we are only hearing one side of the situation (I try to step back and be totally fair if at all possible), and I want to say I do believe you and your portrayal of the conversations. That said - I think you are handling...
It REALLY IS a great feeling and a happy surprise.
How lovely, a blue-green egg.
I'm jealous, I get mint-green but hope my new americunas lay soon and at least one is somewhere in the blue range.
PICS! pics! PICS!
WELCOME!
I seldom post - so little time, you know how it goes when you have chickens!
I want to thank you ever so much for your thoughtful, intelligent, and courteous post. I read it avidly and it said everything I was thinking but wasn't going to bother to post.
I, too, believe in letting...
hi, I'm not sure if you mean Washington State or Washington DC. If you mean state that's where I am and I can give you the phone number and email of the lady I got my Marans from. She has a large flock, hens, roosters, pullets, and fertile eggs.
I got fertile eggs and put them under my broody...
Say-y-y-y, I was just thinking about putting together an area for my hen with new chicks. They are doing Ok in with the other hens but they would definitely do better with a space of their own. I got rid of the few hens I had that thought it was OK to try to eat chickies brains, but it can get...
Isn't that a great moment?
I'm an ol' lady and I cried when my Silkie hatched out 6 eggs this past summer.
I've had chickens for years but never a rooster and thus no newborn chicks.
I bought fertile eggs for her and she was just the best Mama possible.
You can hear about the miracle of...
Get it in writing.
I went into City Hall here and spoke with the clerks (who pretty much run this tiny town).
I was told "oh, yes, chickens are fine".
Fast-forward two years I received a letter in the mail demanding my appearance at a town meeting for "chickens at large creating a nuisance". [my...
WHOA!!! Those photos of your new roo could be winners on the thread about Stink Eyes!!
Ha! what a LOOK!
I bet it's all look and not a mean bone in his body. They are just lovely and I'm so happy for you, what a sweet deal!
(whoops, now I already used up my quota of exclamation marks)
I don't...
