    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I can offer a suggestion about vermin. Our chickens are actually in an aviary type pen. We have a 10 X 10 welded wire dog kennel with a roof. Our daughter found a thin young cat living in a dumpster at a hotel while we were travelling for a dog show a couple years ago on her birthday. We don't...

    Are you a chicken smuggler in Shelby Township, Michigan?

    Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply. I don't know if my situation or advice can help as we had unusual circumstances. Our fight with the neighbor was over a blow-up about the property line that he refused to respect. Fortunately for us, we were on good terms with his last tenant who...

    puller or roo?

    Gimme Birdies, I think Don Rae was replying to my post, not your reply. I asked about sexing the EE in the picture.

    puller or roo?

    We bought a barred rock roo, Easter egger roo and 3 EE hens from Myers. We lost all but two within 4 days of arrival. The barred rock roo made it and is quite obviously a brazen little roo right down to white dot on his head. We assumed the other chick that lived was the EE roo as it is larger...

    Look up Papadilis vs Troy (sp) and read over my attorneys argument again. According to that court case, a farmer can move into a new area and begin farming if he follows gaamps.

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I will paste the entire argument below; however, this was not our total application. We had the dog issue as well under appeal so we had two separate hearings crammed into one with a 75 page packet. We were also fighting to keep our 6 show dogs and our ability to continue to show, breed and...

    It looks that way but from what I understand so did Papesh's decision? and she won her appeal.

    That is absolutely crazy that you have 59 acres and no nuisance complaints and are still fighting for your chickens.

    The hatchery has actually been very kind and they are sending replacements but wont have them until April. That sounds exactly like what the first three that died did. They were huddled and sleepy and towards the end would just fall over. The last chick that died seemed fine. She was running...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Another woman in Shelby was told to get rid of her chickens or she would be arrested. She went to the media. She said she has been put on hold now because they are planning a meeting early next year to discuss the ordinence. Maybe they will be allowing chickens in the future.

    New babies :o)

    Two other easter eggers died about 24 hours apart. They are running around fine during the day then seem to go to sleep a bit earlier than the others and in the morning we find another dead chick. I'm so frustrated and disheartened by this. They were all vaccinated. We did see round worms in the...

    We lost the EE as well :( others seem okay right now though.

    New babies :o)

    The little austra white didn't make it through the night. The EE chick is warm and standing on her feet but she still stands in a squatting position with her eyes closed. She didn't show any interest in the food or water like the other chicks so we just dipped our fingers in the water and let...
