    Laws In Tigard, OR

    So, here's the deal: I was poking around on the forum and one guy/gal said that in Portland (OR) you can get a permit for $31 to have more than 3 chickens. I was just wondering if the laws are different in Tigard and how much a permit is if not. Also, is there a permit that allows roosters?

    Hen Doesn't Like To Sleep in Coop

    Thanks everyone! After a winter of mostly staying in the run, I started to let them run around the yard again and haven't had anymore problems with it. We also put a barrier of chicken wire on the top of the fence in case the problem starts again, but I doubt it! Thanks to everyone who helped!

    One of my chickens are in the middle of molting. Her neck and head are starting to get the rest of the feathers back, but recently I noticed her shoulder is bald.
