Thank you for that. If they want to complain about a "violation" of vague, interpretive language and I end up having to get rid of them, I will start filing complaints about violations that are clearly written in black and white in the bylaws!

I live in a subdivision with an HOA. The bylaws state, "no person may keep, breed, board or raise any animal, livestock, reptile, or poultry of any kind for breeding or other commercial purpose on any lot..." I decided to get chickens because I knew I would not be breeding them nor using them...

Oh, trust me. They're messing with the wrong person! I worked for attorneys for 6.5 years. They're wording on the documentation backs them into a corner and gives me every right to have the chickens. Nowhere does it say you cannot have poultry at all. It says you can't have them if you're...

I'm about to go to war with my homeowners association. I just got a letter demanding I remove the chickens and coop by Friday. My HOA docs say, "no person may keep, breed, board or raise any animal, livestock, reptile, or poultry of any kind for breeding or other commercial purpose on any...

I'm really excited about this round of eggs. The last set was my first time ever hatching eggs! The eggs were not great quality and I still got one to hatch! Now that I'm a little more familiar with the incubator and the process and got gorgeous eggs from a highly recommended breeder, I'm very...

Just received my eggs from @bargain!!! So excited!!! They'll be going in the incubator tomorrow afternoon! Candled them and they all look gorgeous!

New batch of eggs just arrived today!!! 5 lavender Ameraucanas and 7 lavender Orpingtons!!! Planning on putting them in the incubator tomorrow afternoon!

Nope! And I'm on the west side of Columbus!

Found this interesting article about research on sexing eggs. Thought I'd share. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2016/may/02/laser-spectroscopy-determines-sex-of-a-chicken-egg

Here's the best chart I found. It really helped me understand what I was looking for. Here are the pics of my girl's wings at 34 hours.

The yellow one definitely looks like a pullet. From what I read it depends on the location of the feathers. There are feathers on top and bottom of the wing. If the feathers on bottom are longer than the ones on top, it is female. If the feathers on bottom are the same length or shorter than the...

Good luck!!! I just ordered some Lav Orp and Lav Ameraucana eggs from @bargain. Can't wait to get them in the bator!!

Nice! Mine is a little fighter too. I read up on feather sexing. I know it's not a "valid" way to sex, but I still think it's interesting. My husband said even the strangest old wives methods are rooted in some truth. I also ran my guess by someone who has a 100% track record on feather sexing...

So adorable! Lucky she's got you to take care of her instead of someone who would just toss her!

I looked at the chart and she definitely looks like the female pic. Woo hoo!

She turned out so adorable!!!

OMG! What a cutie pie!

I got a couple better pics. This is at 34 hours old.

Yeah, my husband sucks at close up pics. But I didn't think he'd hold the wing out the proper way. When I looked myself, the feathers on the bottom were significantly larger than the ones on top. She's about 33 hrs old now. Too late for another try at a pic?

So I tried to get a better pic. No way I can stay up late enough for her to turn 24 hrs! Lol! I did a little research and it seems that if the feathers on the bottom of the wing are longer than the feathers on the top it's female. If the feathers on bottom are the same length or shorter, it's...
