    City of Topeka Fowl Ordinance

    Hi guys! We've been keeping chickens for over a year now without problem here in Topeka, KS. The ordinance stated that there must be 50ft between their coop and any neighboring dwelling.

    With this nasty weather, I decided to bring the big(ger) girls in last night. They are all warm but are squaking it up. I think they need more space than they have right now, but I'd rather have angry chickens than frozen chickens. Thank you to everyone that weighed in on my newbie question...

    I am so behind on posts!! We've been busy over here as always. I moved my five week olds out to the newly built coop last night! I was rather nervous but I think they did fine.

    Thanks for the heads up! So far, it's been 92-93 degrees in there, depending on if I have a window open in the back. I'll have to get a dimmer soon!

    HEChicken, that is so exciting!! Can't wait to see some pictures of mama and her little crew! Sharol, yes, I am a doula! I am taking time off this year though, since having a baby of my own just four months ago. I'll probably start attending again sometime in the fall. Polishpal, so very sorry...

    Our original six that will be 4 weeks old are three buff orpingtons, (Chickadee, Marilyn, & Eleanor,) and 3 black sex links, (Pepper, Sassafrass, & Maggie.) Then yesterday I picked up both a 4 day old silver laced wyandotte, (Sybil,) and a barred plymouth rock, (Edith.) I've been taking far...
