Actually you dont need a permit. Michigan State Building Laws (which superceed local) states you do not need a building permit to build a building used for agricultural purposes. I looked into this when my town told me I needed to get a permit for my coop. I found it, I could have fought it, but...

Brethren, You don't know me but I read your post about your husband. I can relate to it because I to went through ordeals with an accident. I myself have a lot going on. I don't know what town your near but if your close I don't mind helping a little with your animal chores. I have a lot going...

This book is in outstanding condition. I bought it a few months ago for 130.00. Selling it for 100.00. Sorry, I was sick when I did this post. I accidently put it for 130.00 on the heading. This book is 100.00. Sold

Hello everyone. I dont det much time to post in this thread much. This thread is one of the hardest ones to stay abreast of. It moves fast. And I thought the Marans thread moved quickly. Some of you have some very nice birds. I always love seeing silkie photos. Not my number one bird but they...

I just so happened to have purchased the SOP from the APA and spending the money I found nothing in the SOP about the Marans. Before I bought the book I had heard that there was suppose to be an added excerpt about the Marans but nope! Report that, and maybe I will get my money back!

A few words to share. I am fairly new to chickens and absolutely love it. I love my Marans. I joined this community to gain more knowledge and to meet others with the same passion as me. Before I go further into the reason of my post let me tell you a little more about myself. Take it or leave...

Well, I moved some birds around today. Very noise in the coop this evening. They were not happy lol. Checked my young little roo again today and so far no white yet. I hope it stays that way!

It sounds as though she needs to do a serious evaluation on her situation. Thats a lot of birds to have lost!

Well decided to go and try and get some pictures of a 2.5 Month old Roo Im going to use. The cards were stacked against me. I bought a new phone so, between him not sitting still, being flighty and a slow camera speed it was tough. I think he is going to be a great bird though you cant get much...

Well i finally passed my state exam. My brain is fried. Gnite e everone. Going to bed zzzzzz

Well, I tried to keep it around 35% though it did dip a bit lower at times. I wasnt to concerned with it as I thought humidity wasnt crucial using a dry hatch method. I also assumed that this method was preferred with Marans eggs. Its odd if this was important why is it a 50-50 on feet issues? I...

I have had the little Roo on craigslist for quite a while now. As for the white Roo I put him on there a couple of days ago. So far no inquiries.

Well I was right on one of the Chicks that I have. Big feet and he crowed! Not even a week old yet!

Ok, I have a nother question. Im trying to look at chicks a bit more closely. By looking at my adults I noticed smaller outside toes are more prevalent on my girls. While as the Roos have big long toes. I know smaller outer toes tend to happen on feathered leg breeds. Out of the 4 new chicks I...
