    After ten years, I finally have chicks. But I have a prissy one. What to do?

    Update: She took a sharp turn for the worse and passed away the following day :( I got a replacement chick and a blue plymouth rock while Iwas there and am much happier with their dispositions. I think she was doomed from the start by comparison unfortunately :(

    I don't know. Its a starter feed milled for the farm, doesn't have a label on it I don't think. Thanks, I'll raise the lamp up for them. Thanks I will make some up for them when I make the kids breakfast in the AM!

    After ten years, I finally have chicks. But I have a prissy one. What to do?

    So after 10 years of being a member, I finally have chicks! I bought them saturday from a local poultry farm. They were 2 weeks old when I purchased them, aging up on Tuesday so they should be 3 weeks old now. I have a lavender orp, a plymouth barred rock, and a silkie (for my daughter). One...

    Chicken Friendly HOA Littleton, Colorado

    We bought a house in Columbine Knolls. The HOA is optional and it's the HOA that enforces the rules. We also got a corner lot and our two neighbors are super cool and extra granola crunchy. So, I think we're going to try. Our house will be between one neighbor and the coop and then 1/4 acre...

    Article regarding HOAs, No HOAs, Voluntary HOAs and Restrictive Covenants (and who enforces them)

    From an attorney's website. Thought it was useful for those who have no HOAs or voluntary HOAs but restrictive covenants. http://www.wardandsmith.com/articles/restrictive-covenants-what-are-they-and-why-should-you-care

    Well, only the mandatory HOA and the builder can enforce covenants. The HOA is voluntary and the house was built in 1972. Plus, from reading the Littleton ordinances, chickens are no longer considered livestock previously they were, then pets (as with rabbits and ducks). They're in their own...

    Coops and Neighbors

    So, we just moved to the Denver metro area and found a house with no HOA on a huge corner lot. (Exciting, right?) We should hear Monday if our offer was accepted. Which means I CAN FINALLY HAS CHICKENS! My husband and I were wondering how many of you asked for permission from neighbors...

    Chicken Friendly HOA Littleton, Colorado

    I really loved it when we visited. I hope we can find something that works. I really want my cake and eat it too. We have two greyhounds and a cat. So we're already fairly tied down. lol Chickens probably won't be for another couple years anyways. But we want to invest in a property that...

    Chicken Friendly HOA Littleton, Colorado

    Another thought, through research, Littleton City ordinances previously considered chickens household pets before giving them their own section governing how many can be kept but never renamed them anything other than "household pets". Would an HOA have to abide by that definition of "household...

    Chicken Friendly HOA Littleton, Colorado

    Finally my husband is getting a job transfer from icky Phoenix, AZ and we're moving to Denver. We want to buy a house in Littleton but I'm having a hard time locating houses that either the HOA allows chickens or is non-covenant. I'd love a non-covenant home however, those seem to be few, far...

    Hello from Phoenix, AZ hopefully soon to be from Denver, CO

    I've been lurking for months but a couple days ago posted my first post which ironically was not about chickens. So, I figure I need to introduce myself properly. Chicken History: I have no chickens at the moment. I am a newly wed (or married for a year, when do we stop being newly weds?)...

    Meat rabbit colony in a chicken coop?

    So, I haven't gotten into any animal for food production yet. I currently live in Phoenix, Az but we're planning to move to denver. I've grown up around livestock all my life. One of the things my husband and I have decided for the future, aside from keeping chickens, is raising rabbits for...
