Noise, and they are going into the neighbors yard

They have a noise ordinance, but no specific limitations on farm animals or chickens. I have neighbors with horses, pigs, goats, fowl, anything you can imagine. Just a noise ordinance is all they've been able to give me in writing.

I have to go to court in October regarding my chickens. I'm new to this small town, which was sold to us as a homestead. The realtor assured me pets, chickens, and horses were all allowed. My neighbors have goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, but for whatever reason I'm not allowed. The...

Thank you for your reply. I'm kinda leaning towards 2 cockerel. Do you think a roo would try to top another roo?

I had a RIR named Supper. She was moody and bullied the other girls, so I would tell her we were gonna eat her for supper one day, and the name stuck.

Any thoughts on these 8 week old silkie/ EE crosses?

Okay... so it's been a minute...but I'm gonna try to create a post and add pictures..pause for dramatic effect... of my chicks at 8 weeks old. This is clutch of 9, lovely mixed breed chicks. Dad is a buff bearded silkie and mom is a mix also of blue silkie and very golden EE. She is a beautiful...

They are all beautiful, especially Pompom! Is she laying? Just curious what color her eggs turned out. Thanks - Jess

I thought she had a white crest too. That would be an interesting color tho. Pretty birds.

So sorry for you and your kids, and the frizzle who lost her buddy. Hawks are so bad here and it's against the law to kill them. When my flocks were young (I have 3) I would have to physically put them into the coop after dark. All 3 sets did the same thing, roosting right in front of the run...

I wanted broody hens that I could use to hatch and raise guinea keets. So only time will tell. These may be mongrels. This is Stripe, the straight combed silkie. Pip, he has grown...and then some of them hanging out, afraid of me. Hard to photo that's for sure. I bet you raised some...

So I'm so bad at navigating this site. My reply is actually inside the quote box Sorry..... I thought how you replied to each section was so cool, I tried to copy your skills....and failed. Lol - have a good one!
