    Make Chickens Officially Legal in Cambridge, MA

    Happy to help you- I'm in Peabody and went through an approvals process with the health board. If there is nothing in place, you could use that as a framework for discussion with the city?

    16 weekers and noise

    Yup, he's going to a chicken farm nearby. Hopefully he can live a good life and make all the noise he wants to! He's harassing the girls as well, there are feathers all over the run

    Hello- may have a Buff Orpington rooster to rehome/exchange in Peabody. Not entirely convinced I have a roo yet, just putting out feelers if anyone would be willing to do a swap if 'Nia' becomes 'Nigel' over the next few weeks. I cannot have a roo in the city limits, and 'she' is making a...

    She has been chasing and pulling the others feathers, but she's always been in charge of this flock. I would hate to get rid of her if she is a hen. Do I wait until I hear a full 'cock-a-doodle-do' to know for sure? These were supposed to be sexed chicks...

    Hello! Pretty new to this chicken thing. We have a buff orpington, a silver-laced wyandotte and a rhose island red, all raised together from chicks, about 16 weeks. The buff is much bigger than the others and has started squawking really loudly, in the morning, during the day, not quite a...

    Heated waterer

    I got a bucket nipple waterer with heat from premier 1 supplies. Did a little tweaking and have it hanging up in use now. The heating cord I have tucked up in a plastic bag and will hook it up to the power supply in the winter. I'm also in Mass so this will be essential for us in winter!

    Spring 2017 first timers post!

    Just gave my 2 week old chicks live mealworms. At first they were hesitant, but then chased each other all over the brooder if one got a worm in its beak. Best 3 minutes entertainment! Now it's nap time

    Here's my set up, picking up 3 chicks this weekend. Paranoid about fires after doing some reading. I can raise or lower the lamp by stacking or unstacking boxes.

    getting first chicks ever next week..

    Me too! Could also use some pointers. I have a cardboard box set up as a brooder, it's on my 3rd floor which can get pretty warm, guess I'll have to check they don't cook if we get warm weather. I have food and bedding, almost finished painting the coop (which won't be used for a little while...

    I know I do. The town next to me was in the news for chicken keeping problems, I believe the lady involved had to hire a lawyer due to nasty neighbours. Hoping to avoid that...
