Roosters in Michigan
Bedford Twp ordinance allows a certain number of chickens based on the amount of land. Some Villages, such as Clarksville, only allow 6 hens no roosters. If you are looking for property with acreage located in a rural area you should be safe. Calhoun and Barry counties are good areas to consider.- MIchickenlady

Doberman, female. We had one 30 years ago, sweetest dog ever. Someone stole her from our yard, was heartbreaking. She had her tail and floppy ears.- MIchickenlady

More questions about sand
if indoor sand (washed construction sand-various size grains) is kept dry, it is great as coop litter-I've used it for years. Outdoors I cannot speak to, but in the coop-great, scoop with kitty scooper at least ev other day & it will be smell free- MIchickenlady

Yes,the attached pics are the coop setup I need help with. We switched to it a year ago & got 18 more hens. Before that just 7 hens in a small coop. I keep all water in the run. No roof leaks. Mby I exaggerated a bit- the shavings are damp- very ammonia stinky.- MIchickenlady
