    Hatched his rooster 15 years ago, what is this established elderly homeowners rights agenst new 8 year old housing devlopments complaining.?

    You know, my dad used to complain about kids books, cartoons, and movies anthropomorphizing animals. At the time I just rolled my eyes, as I didn't see the harm. NOW we are seeing the harm, LOL!

    Official BYC Poll: What Is Your Perspective On Chickens For Meat

    I definitely have no agenda. I eat meat. I am not a vegetarian. I don't care much for meat but that is a taste/texture thing with no ethical component. I prefer chicken and given I've not kept chickens for 20 to 25 years, I have over the years eaten a LOT of grocery store chicken. I don't...

    Official BYC Poll: What Is Your Perspective On Chickens For Meat

    I don't feel weird about eating any sort of meat that is commercially available here (dog, camel, horse not being available and I WOULD be weirded out by those) and it makes no difference to me whether it was my chicken or a battery chicken. Well other than for reasons of flavor. That said I...

    Would a feral/farm cat eat a chicken?

    Chicken wire is for decorative purposes only. NEVER use it for fencing against predators!

    YES! That sounds like a fun story, even if it might not have been fun at the time, LOL!

    Would a feral/farm cat eat a chicken?

    While I wouldn't have let any of my dogs around my chickens EVEN IF SUPERVISED (except my border collie mix, and then only supervised), I never had a dog try to chew through the field fence I used for chicken run/yard. Not to say other dogs wouldn't do that. I may have been lucky. In fact my...

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    EDIT: SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, NOT SAD! LOL! I have never cared for turkey, I prefer chicken if it must be poultry or ham otherwise. The last time I "did" Thanksgiving, my younger sister was "living with" (aka LEECHING OFF) my dad. My dad expressed a desire for a family dinner so I offered to...

    Chicken Law for Lubbock out of date

    W Well that's why I posted to the Announcements, Feedback, Issues, & Guides forum. I didn't know to click "report" as I did not know that that is used for corrections AS WELL as reporting spam or other objectionable content. I figured someone would either fix it from there or tell me how...

    Chicken Law for Lubbock out of date

    THANK YOU!!!! All I care about is getting it fixed. I don't get the moving but it seemed to me it made it LESS likely to get it fixed since nobody just reading the forum could do anything about it - only privileged forum administrators can do that. The law has changed a LOT in 10 years, LOL...

    Squeamish in my old age

    There are no local butchers any more. A few places that will dress deer, beef, or hogs, but not poultry because it requires "re-tooling" - and they simply make a lot more money on the larger animals. One meat processor of which I am aware isn't even doing deer this year, just beef and hogs...

    Chicken Law for Lubbock out of date

    Can someone explain why this was moved? THIS IS ABOUT HOW TO UPDATE AN ARTICLE THAT CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION. Only forum owners can fix this.

    Chicken Law for Lubbock out of date

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/lubbock-texas-chicken-ordinance.61471/ This was posted 10 years ago and the OP does not appear to have been active for some time. The information is out of date. How can this be fixed? Max chickens allowed ARTICLE says Not Specified - in reality it...

    Mangum, OK law

    Yeah, up to now every chicken ordinance I'd ever read only counted the coop for setback, and I can't remember a single one that actually required a seperate run or yard within YOUR yard, eg as long as your yard was fenced appropriately to keep them in, they could run around the whole yard if you...

    Calling All Buff Orpington Lovers!

    I'd never considered them a large breed, but then when I was keeping them they were still considered a rare/endangered breed so ... maybe they've been bred up since then? I can't remember where I got mine. It would most likely have been Meyer, Murray McMurray, or Cackle. A friend and I split...

    Mangum, OK law

    Chickens are actually a separate category that they specifically mention separate from "fowl" or any other category. They DON'T specifically mention turkeys and ducks etc, so I'm pretty sure everything livestock related other than chickens are lumped together under "fowl". I mean bird type...
