    New chickens...

    Thanks. The silver penciled rocks, the girls have kind of a mangled foot each. They were totally free roam from the place we got them. Is this a normal thing to happen? They seem ok on the feet.

    New chickens...

    We have these new guys who are said to be "banti's" We have no idea what they really are. The white chickens are suppose to be cornish rocks, just want to make sure because they look different than other pictures that we've seen.

    (Pics Updated!)Newbie Chicken Coop Project (pics)

    Well I really made a lot of headway this weekend until the rain today. Upon restarting the project, I decided it needed to get bigger. So I took the coop from 20sq ft to 35sq ft. That is a sizeable increase, and gave a total run space of about 40sq ft. I decided that I am also going to extend...

    Opinions on Interpretation of Code

    I understand about the "disturbance" that you mention. I guess if that is my top worry, then I am pretty lucky. As far as a definition for "at large," I searched the whole document and could not find one. Yay! a loophole! I am going to try my best to not be bother to the neighbors. I feel it...

    Opinions on Interpretation of Code

    Ok, so first here are some snippets of my code for my city: On Fowl: No person shall keep or maintain any mature chicken, turkey, duck, goose, guinea, pigeon or other poultry or fowl in any residential area within the corporate limits of the city unless the pen, poultry house or other structure...

    Update on chicks.. sad...

    Update - I put an ad on Craigslist, and I found a local guy wanting to get rid of two 4-6 week old wyandotte roos, and so I am probably going to pick them up tommorow. They will keep the lone chick company while I am waiting for an order of RIR's. The guy is going to take two of the pullets from...

    (Pics Updated!)Newbie Chicken Coop Project (pics)

    Well right now I am at a little of a standstill for a day or two. I've got someone who is wiling to give me plenty of leftover vinyl siding, and some old windows, so that is a plus. I also lined up a deal with a guy to get a couple bundles of shingles for 5 bucks a piece. I'm just taking a day...

    Thanks for trying! I figured it was the kind of thing that would be buried in a sticky somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.

    General Forum Question

    I've been poking around for a little while and couldn't help but notice the little "nicknames" given to members. They seem to be related to post count? For instance mine right now is "new egg." I have looked around and didn't see any information on them, so I was just wandering what are the...
