You may have seen the excellent articles in the Edmonton Journal on Saturday, April 10 regarding urban chicken keeping in Canada, including the proposal we (The River City Chickens Collective) have submitted. The article accurately indicated...

    I'm so nervous *gulp*

    Well, I didn't do anything embarrassing I managed to introdice myself and what our group is doing. There were about 25 of us and it was a planning session, so nothing confrontational It was also a good learning experience for me. I did speak up during the discussion a couple of times too...

    What's for Dinner Wednesday! 02/17/2010

    I have NO clue. I'm too nervous about my evening to even be thinking about food! We have a ton of leftovers from the weekend so everyone else can have that and I'll have whatever I feel like when I get home later. We cooked a leg of lamb that was SOOO good.

    I'm so nervous *gulp*

    2 1/2 more hours! Yikes!! Reading it is a good idea. A very good idea. I just wish I'd gotten an agenda and had some idea what to expect!!!

    the Neighbors

    I had to talk to my neighbours to ask permission to be in a pilot project and one of them wouldn't give it so I don't get hens yet. But when the bylaw changes and I am allowed, I'll be talking to all my other neighbours EXCEPT him about it to let them know. He figures he already knows...

    I'm such a ditz

    We've had a PVR (or is it a DVR? I dunno) for a couple of months now, and last night my kids told me you can pause live TV with it! I thought that was SO COOL till I found out EVERYONE's PVR does that.

    I'm so nervous *gulp*

    In 4 hours I have to represent our group (trying to bring backyard hens to our city) at a meeting at city hall. The meeting is about urban agriculture planning and involves 'interested groups'. I have never in my life had to speak for a group like this and I"m pretty nervous. Tummy...

    How to approach neighbours

    I must not have been clear - he isn't 'against everything' I promote. He's just uninformed and a huge windbag, and has been unreasonable in the past about other things. That was a couple years ago -maybe I'm an optimist but I was really hoping he'd have changed or grown up or something. And...

    what do you do with your bacon grease?

    I spend $8 a lb for nitrate free bacon from the farm, so I save ALL the grease!!! I usually let it cool a bit then pour it into a glass jar and just leave it on the counter. I then use it for frying eggs, liver, and other stuff. Bacon grease from farm raised pigs isn't even bad for you IMO

    No hens for me this year.

    Unfortunately bees are excluded by the same bylaw as chickens: 27 (1) No person shall keep or have any of the following on any premises with a municipal address in the City: (a) a Large Animal or the young thereof; (b) poultry; (c) bees; or (d) poisonous snakes, reptiles or insects...

    No hens for me this year.

    Chickens aren't allowed here right now - I was hoping to get them under the pilot project our group has before city hall, but they told us we had to have permission from neighbours to take part in the pilot project. I have to wait till our bylaw is changed now before I can get them. The plant...

    WHY does the man have two wallets?

    No hens for me this year.

    He's the kind of guy who just talks right over you, doesn't let you get a word in edgewise. VERY frustrating to deal with. And impossible to interrupt without coming off as rude. I don't want to piss him off, because I WILL be getting chickens some day, and I don't want him to be too much of...

    WHY does the man have two wallets?

    It's guaranteed that whatever he needs is going to be in the OTHER wallet. The one that is at HOME when he's at work. And no, I do not have a copy of whatever in MY wallet, sorry. We've been married almost ten years and I still cannot figure him out

    No hens for me this year.

    One of my neighbours is opposed to me having hens so I can't join the pilot project this year. The idiot thinks he's an expert on backyard poultry because he used to be an inspector for the federal gov't inspecting factory farms. This is the same neighbour that we had a run in with about...

    What would you feed if you couldn't buy feed?

    For those who feed fish, how fresh does it have to be? Can it be frozen first and thawed for them?

    How to approach neighbours

    I am part of a group trying to have the bylaw changed in our city to allow backyard hens, and we are trying to get a pilot project off the ground for this spring. I am hoping to be one of the sites. Part of that involves having the permission of my neighbours. I have 4 backyard neighbours I...

    Fertilized eggs better for you??

    I'd never heard this before till just the other day, and am wondering if others have heard the same thing. If you think it's true, why? I am intrigued. I don't have the option of keeping a rooster.
