    Baby Chick and not prepared!

    Well, we don't have the chick anymore. After hearing so often that chicks should be raised with at least one other companion, I decided it would be better to return the chick with its brotehrs and sisters rather than let it grow up socially deprived. However, I would still love to raise a two...

    Chicken Laws in Upland, CA?

    I'll definitely send some letters. Even though at this point I doubt my parents would consent to having chickens, there's no harm in making it possible for others here.

    Hi! I live in Upland. I've been into chickens for only a month, and already I'm finding out that chickens aren't allowed here. I'm considering just getting them anyway, though, if I can't get the city to change it.

    Chicken Laws in Upland, CA?

    Hi! I've been doing some research on chicken laws where I live, and was dismayed to find that according to http://www.qcode.us/codes/upland/ I can't keep chickens in a "SFR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT", but agricultural zones are fine. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this? I...

    I have good news and bad news, so I'll start with the bad news. Yesterday at our local city festival I approached the city's Animal Shelter group and asked about laws concerning chickens. The man in charge there was adamant in telling us that chickens were prohibited where I live. Another person...

    This looks great! Do you think you could reply with a list of the materials needed to make this? I know for the framing it's a whole bunch of 2"x4" s, in different lengths, but I don't want to buy more than I need. A list of how much hardware cloth, board, and 2"x4"s would be really helpful...

    Early Monday morning my Mom held a voting and almost everyone agreed that the chick should be returned to it's former owners, even I did. I was getting attached to the little chick but I knew it wouldn't be fair to keep it at the moment. We don't have a coop built, and we don't have the time...

    Great! After an hour or so of gardening outside with it we had determined that the chick was fine, but I'm glad for the extra confirmation. If my family is ready to take on the responsibilty of another chick and the long lifetime of them, then we'll have to start building the coop and run...

    The chick was doing really well, we had watered it and fed it and it was settling in really nicely. When I noticed my Mom had bought starter Feed but no grit, I took the chick outside where we have a whole bunch of tiny tiny rocks. I spread some of the starter feed there among the rocks, because...

    Thanks so much for the information! There's a feed store about a mile away that I can bike to later today, but I'm not sure if they'll have feed and grit for chicks, and if they do, they'll most likely not be small enough to fit in my basket. In that case, we might not b able to check out that...

    Hi! So I know that whenever you get a new pet, whatever it is, you should ALWAYS do research on how to care for it and if you have the means to care for it first. Normally it's the kids who violate this rule, but in my house it seems to be the parents. Yesterday my Mom came home from work with a...
