    My silkies love their Omlet Eglu Go Up! They figured out the ladder and starting putting themselves to bed after 2 days :) https://www.omlet.us/shop/chicken_keeping/portable-chicken-coop-eglu-go-up/

    Winterizing a coop for silkies

    Not in Colorado - but in France I think? That's why I'm trying to be extra careful & learn from experienced folks like you :) Here is the video I was talking about, see what you think! It's called "Are plastic poultry houses cold resistant?"

    Winterizing a coop for silkies

    I will report back :) I found a YouTube video where someone used a wireless thermometer to track the winter nighttime temperature inside the Eglu Go Up and it was impressive!

    Winterizing a coop for silkies

    Hi! I live in Colorado and will be a first time newbie chicken owner. Hubby and I will be adopting 2-3 silkie hens and we're wondering if they will do OK without supplemental heat in their Omlet Eglu Go Up coop. I've heard mixed things online and a hearsay story of a friend of a friend whose 3...

    Hi from Boulder Colorado :)

    I am an expectant mom (we're due Feb 8 2021) and I'm currently working on changing our HOA's CC&Rs regarding backyard chickens. I would love any advice from people who have successfully petitioned their neighbors to amend the CC&Rs. So far everyone I've spoken to has been very supportive...

    Charlotte, NC HOA hope!

    How did this turn out? :) Can I ask what your elevator pitch was to explain backyard chickens to your neighbors to get signatures? :) I am working not to help change our CC&Rs. Homeowner board is not being helpful - said they would not bring it to homeowners for a vote, so I am going to go...

    Our HOA board amended the rules--now ALLOW chickens

    Congratulations! How are your chickens doing? :) I am just starting this process. You said your HOA board approved the change? Were chickens disallowed by the CC&Rs or the Bylaws? Our HOA board told me it had to be approved by 75% of homeowners, rather than the board approving.

    Chickens and Homeowners Associations

    This is really helpful. I've been confused about the difference between Bylaws and CC&Rs. Our CC&Rs in our HOA specifically disallow "livestock and poultry". However, it is law in our city that each resident is allowed "up to 8 hens" but my understanding is that the HOA overrules the city law...

    Almost there🥰🐣

    I'd love to hear more about how you convinced all of your neighbors to sign the petition. I'm about to present at our next homeowner association meeting in July, and we have 183 homes and I need get 75% to agree to change our CC&Rs which currently prohibit poultry although it is legal in our...
