I can't, in good conscience, recommend this door either. We've had it for a year and a half and it malfunctions on a regular basis. It eats batteries like mad in spite of what Rod Newman says. I replace the battery every 3-4 months like clockwork and it's a chore every time, because it doesn't...

Guess I probably should have updated before now, LOL! Anyway, we went and saw the city manager about it and were able to keep all the hens since we'd already had them.

Hi guys, I have a 4ish month old Cochin who has been suffering with sour crop for the last 4-5 days. After vomiting her three times, keeping her isolated so she doesn't gorge on feed, grass or anything else; giving good quality yogurt, and ACV... got us nowhere. Huge squishy crop, though he...

Still here! Same 17 gorgeous ladies out back, happy as clams. Came through a brutal first winter and are now producing quite nicely.

Disaster! Well, after formally supporting the new Lee's Summit chicken ordinance passage, I now have to revoke same. Animal Control, it appears, is so much more about control than it is about animals it's astonishing. Little men seeking to justify their little badges. We are zones commercial and...

Swap roos for hens you mean? I assume you would have had to aquire your chicks there to begin with...?

Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on this. I was unable to make the meeting last night, but I'll do my level best to make my wishes known and be there in person next time!

Ours are actually located in a commercial area and codes enforcement was here in a truck the other day. They haven't said anything to us yet, just pulled in and checked out the situation. I will quote chapter and verse from the existing code. They are WELL beyond 400 feet from the nearest...

Good to know that there are folks on Craigslist that might take them. I have another friend dealing with the same issue and I will tell him about that. Thanks! And we are on the exact same page re: Walmart. I'd love to have a Trader Joe's and don't really understand why LS doesn't pursue them...

Almost certainly one Rob Binney. =o/ Calls himself a "progressive." Well, we all know what that means, now don't we? Small minded man wants to control what everyone else can do.... with the exception of Wal-Mart. He's FINE with those popping up all over the place. Corporatist pig. Now onto the...

This is 7.5 week old Owl, a much loved member of the Dancing McNuggets, who today learned to use the brand new nipple waterer. Our waterer is a 5 gallon bucket hung from a bracket. The plumbing allows us to remove the bucket without removing the nipple bar for easy cleaning. They learned it...

Awesome! Thanks for posting that info here!

Exactly. There is a much-too-large segment of our society who wishes to ban or otherwise control that which they don't personally agree with. This is where an awful lot of these silly ordinances and even major laws arise from. Bothersome busybodies annoy me no end. In my ridiculous town, you're...

Hello! Also in Lee's Summit! So glad you are here. I'm new to chickens, too. I want them here in the back yard and not far away like my babies are now are now, but as you know the law here sucks. But I think we can change it! In case you were not aware, there WAS a council hearing last fall, but...
