Minnesota!
Hey all. While I'm not necessarily new to chickens or the forum really, I am relatively new to MN. I now live in Duluth! I'm also wondering if anyone here keeps chickens inside the city limits of Duluth. I've looked at the ordinance and license application, but want to get some firsthand info...- cuppycake

Haven't posted lately, keeping pretty busy now that the weather is gorgeous. The chickens are looking lovely and enjoying the weather right along with me. Still nagging DH to get the silkies' house done. They've been enjoying some time outside in a large dog kennel but without an actual coop I...- cuppycake

Everyone needs to stop saying the "s" word. I've got to go out and cover up some plants before tonight. This weather is really making me depressed. :(- cuppycake

Lady, you'll have to check your local laws about placing a sign. Usually it just has to be within a certain size, not blocking traffic views, and on your own property a certain distance back from the road. I see signs out for people selling eggs, veggies, puppies, rabbits, even horses. I'd...- cuppycake

Well, our first puppy was officially adopted! Very nice lady took the powder puff boy, they're a perfect match. The little girl may be going home Friday. It's bitter sweet. Hairless boy had a buyer but they had to back out. I surely wouldn't mind keeping him but I don't dare tell DH he's...- cuppycake

Hahaha! One of our girls got a worm stuck on her back once and a couple of them chased her. Chickens are so entertaining to watch. Every time my daughter finds any sort of bug or worm she's giving it to the chickens. She also goes and steals a handful of birdseed from the front yard feeders and...- cuppycake

The general public doesn't know anything about farming or livestock outside of what they've read or heard, and most of that "information" (or rumors) are about industrial agriculture models. A big chicken farm does stink, because they've got tens or even hundreds of thousands of chickens living...- cuppycake

Hatch-Along - Setting eggs 4/25!! Anyones Else? Hatch date May 16th
My eggs aren't looking too good, but they do have really dark/thick shells so I'm not counting any out just yet, in case I'm just not seeing them clearly. Out of 14 eggs (6 chicken, 6 duck set 4/25, and 2 chicken set 4/29) I only see movement in one of the later chicken eggs. Time will tell I...- cuppycake

We are zoned Ag so I usually feel pretty safe about our animals and gardens and trees and such, but that could easily change one day. We certainly don't have 50 animal units, and have no desire to ever have that much going on. We're more "homesteaders" than "farmers", most of what we grow and...- cuppycake

Prepping for self sufficiency as it involves Chickens (aka prepper)
It's just now warming up in Michigan. I'll take that over the crazy weather we had last year. 70s in Feb and then snow in April. Desimated the fruit crops- cuppycake

Well, the plan for today was to work outside, but the clutter in my house is killing me. Trying to clean out all of the closets, drawers and everywhere else I just stick junk when I don't really have a place for it. I think we'll try to have a yard sale and purge a bunch of this stuff. If I can...- cuppycake

I'd just as soon punch it off that guys smug face. *and now to your regularly scheduled program* lol Another pretty spring day. The plan is to work on my garden, mow the lawn, and then prepare lamb...- cuppycake
