    Changing regulations? No chickens allowed

    Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions everyone. Update: We have lived in town now for five months and still no luck on chickens. I attended a village board meeting in March with some information on chicken keeping, regulations for bigger cities from around Nebraska, and what I'd like...

    Changing regulations? No chickens allowed

    My family and I are going to be relocating due to a job change. We found a great house in a rural village (340 people) in central Nebraska. I talked to the village treasurer and come to find out that village regulations are as follows: "A. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or...

    Chantecler Thread: Buff, Patridge, White, Red and any rare colors!

    Any chantecler breeders in or near southeast Nebraska? I just started with chickens last year (Buckeyes and Favarolles) and loved them. As winter egg laying slowed to a stand still in the area this winter I got to thinking about white Chanteclers. I just can't find any around and Sand Hill is...

    Nebraskans Speak Up!!! NEBRASKA ROCKS!!

    Does anybody know of any breeder in Nebraska that has white Chanteclers for sale? I'm possibly looking for day old chicks for this spring and they've been hard to find anywhere nearby. Sand Hill in Iowa has white chanteclers but they're sold out through 2014. Last year I bought my chicks from...

    Review by '' on item 'Faverolles'

    Review by '' on item 'Buckeye'

    in 2013 I got five Buckeyes as part of a batch of nine chicks that were the first chickens I've ever owned. They are great!

    Faverolles Thread

    Question for those who know more than I do about Salmon Faverolles (which would be just about everybody here): Do you think this is a pullet or cockerel? I'm thinking pullet. I've got some other birds with much darker primaries that I presume are cockerels. My oldest daughter named one...

    Buckeye Breed Thread

    I'm wondering what to expect with a really light colored Buckeye chick that I've got. We've taken to calling it blondie because of its light coloring. Here are my lightest and darkest for comparison, both at two weeks old. I'm curious what to expect to see as an adult. It's the smallest of...
