    We have some bullies!

    So, an update: We brought Ruth inside the other night and stuck the bullies back out with the flock. This morning our son checked on Ruth before we left for church, and there was an egg in her pen! It's our first egg! After coming back from church our son went to check on the chickens outside...

    Thanks. I think to convince some of the HOA I'm going to need all the luck (and prayers) I can get. Fortunately, the owner of the very large amount of property that borders our property, but his is not part of our subdivision, said I can keep them back there. I would just prefer to have them...

    Thanks for the information! We're going before our HOA tonight to try to get the covenants changed to allow chickens. If it passes, this will be great timing with the event for other home owners interested in getting chickens.
