    Looking for advice

    I had set this aside for the past little while because I was a bit overwhelmed with deciding how to proceed. I live at the end of a sparsely populated road, where all my neighbors keep telling me to just get a few chickens and stop stressing over it. I feel like I'm already on the radar now, so...

    Help me find hobbies for winter please!

    Don't give up on painting just because you think you'll be critical. Even if you are, someone else might absolutely love what you've done! Perhaps there's one-off classes instead of having a series of them? There seems to be a pottery class like that near me, but that would be a long drive for...

    Looking for advice

    Yeah, I've wondered about the ethics of that myself. :hmm I believe it should be freely and publicly available. I've decided that if and when I do buy a copy, you better believe there will be a digital copy floating around shortly thereafter. When we were there, I asked why there wasn't a...

    Looking for advice

    No worries there, it is already a future plan. I don't want to start building and buying until it can be resolved and allowed legally. There's apparently plenty of clandestine chicken owners around, but I don't want to go that route. I'm trying to keep up my faith in human-goodness and just get...

    Looking for advice

    Sadly, moving is much more easily said than done. Trust me, right about now I'd be thrilled to scamper off, but it's just not in the cards. 🥲 Edited to add: I'm preparing some pro-chicken arguments in case I can find a willing ear that will hear me out. I'm hoping they aren't all jerks on the...

    Looking for advice

    So, we recently went to the town hall hoping to read the ordinances for ourselves, but the lady insisted on knowing what we were looking for and instead of just letting us peruse one of the books, decided to "help" us by repeating the 3 acre minimum. We were also introduced to another person...

    Looking for a high quality Ameraucana breeder please!

    Try looking through the directory and forums at the Ameraucana Alliance, too.

    Light Sussex chickens or hatching eggs in GA?

    I don't know how close you are to the Florida line, but Greenfire farm is located in Midway, just across the state line. They mostly ship, but I think it might be possible to meet them at the post office when they go to drop off shipments. I'd recommend contacting them to be sure. I know they...

    columbian ameraucana~possible? genetic gurus....

    Hi guys, I know this is an ancient thread. Please pardon my archeology in digging it up, but I'm curious if there's been progress. I love the light Columbian coloring and would love a couple of Ameracauna-based EE with this coloring. Since I'm still planning my flock, could anyone tell me what...

    Looking for advice

    On the linked site, I looked at the list of all Alabama cities and it isn't on the list. I have also done other web searches for the ordinances, but the only reference I can find is on the town site, where it says you can purchase them.

    Looking for advice

    To clarify, I'm not in Dothan city limits, where they are allowed. I was using that as a comparison. I'm within the city limits of a little town just a ways outside Dothan.

    Looking for advice

    Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the forums and still a bit shy, so go easy on me. Today I'm looking for some advice: I do not currently have chickens. I want to change that in the future, but there's a couple road blocks in the way. The newest and most frustrating is the local ordinances, which...

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben Question

    Thanks so much! That gives me some numbers to aim at. I plan to start small with only a couple or few birds, though I hear it's addicting. =D

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben Question

    Thanks for the response! We have about an acre of land, so we have options. I'm just not sure a good run size to aim for to start with.

    Appenzeller Spitzhauben Question

    Hi guys, I have a question that I can't seem to find a good answer to. Currently, I do not have chickens but we are planning to get a couple or so in the future. I'm still in the research phase of the decision, and have been looking at different breeds. The Appenzeller Spitzhauben has really...
