    They want to take my chickens!

    My status conference couldn't have gone better. I have 6 months to a year before I even have to think about all of this. :D now I just wait for Edgewood to finish revising their ordinances and go from there.

    They want to take my chickens!

    I've thought about asking for donations to the cause, but I don't want to turn anyone off from the actual cause just because I'm asking for money. A few people have offered money to help, but I have a hard time taking it because I know that there is a chance that I won't be able to change the...

    They want to take my chickens!

    It's nice to hear from someone so close! :) For an update, I went to the court of common pleas today and got some papers I'm going to need to file. I'm planning to go back tomorrow with the papers all filled out, my letter explaining that the borough is granting me a "stay" and the $118 to...

    They want to take my chickens!

    So I was told I had to try to file a variance, I tried. I literally had no chance at all. Legally, the zoning committee couldn't let me have them because it's considered a law against them. Now, I have to file an appeal with the court of common pleas. Once that's filed, I have that amount of...

    They want to take my chickens!

    Hi everyone, Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. My computer is on the fritz. I've talked to my council, zoning officer, and just about everyone else. I filed a variance because they are not considered domestic pets specifically in Edgewood. Since I filed the variance I still can keep...

    They want to take my chickens!

    I've had my four girls since they were three days old. They'll be a year old in April. I did a countless amount of research all saying that I am allowed to have chickens as long as I'm following city rules. A man stopped to my house saying he was with the county and that I'm not allowed to own...

    MOLTING?

    Okay good. I'm all ready then. I have oyster shells available for them all the time. I'm excited for their first molt to see how funny they look. :) my big weirdos.

    Floor Sleeping?

    I'm glad to know my girls are just weirdos. I'm not too worried about where they like to sleep. The coop is extremely safe and weather resistant so if they want to sleep on the floor then they can. Thanks everyone!

    Floor Sleeping?

    1. My inside roost is probably about two to three feet off the ground and it takes up the entire right side of the wall. (way to much space for me to only have 4 chickens in there :( dumb regulations).. As for a draft, I don't think it's very drafty in there. From what I've noticed it's...

    MOLTING?

    My four girls are 7 months old, all laying beautiful eggs. They have yet to molt. What should I expect? When should I expect it to happen? Anything special I should do other then lots of protein in their diet? Thanks!

    Who's not laying?

    Everyone is finally laying. I get four different varieties of beautiful eggs now every day. :) And thanks, DLV58.

    Floor Sleeping?

    I have my four girls in a very decent sized chicken house with a full play yard. Lots of roosting room for them both inside and outside. I've seen them use their indoor roost a bunch of times during the day. I got them when they were 3 days old. Even as babies when I had them in a fancy wooden...

    Who's not laying?

    Out of my four girls I'm not sure which one of them isn't laying yet. Dippy-Buff Orpington Strudel-Red Star Eggo-Silver Laced Wyandotte Miss Marmalade-Barred Rock I get three eggs every day, but I'm not sure who isn't laying yet. So far I get a darker brown egg, a light brown, egg and an off...
