    What IS this?????

    My husband said Mr Fox probably stole it from somewhere and dragged it to our yard--knowing Our Mr Fox, he's probably right. also, I didn't think it looked hatched properly, but I am no expert. Someday I'll tell you about Our Mr Fox and how he dragged our 15 foot downspout extender several...

    What IS this?????

    I sincerely do not mean to be argumentative, but I have never seen a turtle here either!! Could be the first time. So, are y'all telling me this is NOT a Goose or Crow or something like that? There are a lot of Canadian Geese about a quarter of a mile from here. What a mystery! KV OK, I...

    What IS this?????

    Hey, Angie, how did you do that? How did you find the address to do it? It didn't feel soft and leathery--I have never seen any snakes in my yard, either. My old house, we had tons of snakes outside and I used to see them. their shed skins, babies, etc., all the time. Is it too big for...

    What IS this?????

    Hi. We found this eggshell in our backyard and it is NOT one of ours! Can someone tell me what it is? OK I am on my 5th try to post the photo! I don't know why it won't use flikr. I may have to wait until Saturday night to do this as I am in a hurry to get ready for the Sabbath.

    What DONT your chickens like

    I am feeding the chickens at a nearby farm because I don't have my own yet (boo hoo) and when I brought over a big load of crabapples in 2 sizes they wouldn't touch them. I crushed them one at a time and tried again and they loved them. Today they got granny smith apples, leftover french toast...

    Should I break the law??

    Hi everyone, thanks again for all your well thought out responses. I think I may have a solution to my problem. My good friend Kathy, who has 5 hens, lives in the city where chikies are a no-no. Her son is in 4-H and they keep them at a farm 5 minutes from my house. My 7-yo son is interested...

    Any tips for city chicken owners?

    I don't have chickens yet and I really like "under the radar" better than "breaking the law". I would never even consider it except that my 2 main neighbors are basically absentee. What do you think about composting the poop with shredded leaves? I have tons. (also tons that are not...

    Should I break the law??

    The online zoning regs are a dead end for me. I can't get any info on"grandfathering" or anything like that from them, just the basic regulations. Maybe I should get a lawyer! There was an article in the paper recently on someone in my area who had a couple of pygmy goats and they had a zoning...

    Could this work?

    The interesting thing about this shed kit is that I think you can make it any size you want. I love love the "playhouse'" coop, but I don't think that will fly around here. This would be like that on the side that faces me. I also love the EGLU--does anybody have it? How do you like it? It's...

    Should I break the law??

    Carla, I hear you. But like someone said, it's only a zoning ordinance.....I am really thinking this through before I do it. I am definitely going to talk to my county representative about changing the law for 2 pet chickens. (without giving my name of course) KV

    Could this work?

    Hi I would like to keep a couple of hens, but I'm a little nervous because I live in an upscale neighborhood and the zoning laws are not on my side. See my thread at https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20701 I found this shed kit...

    Should I break the law??

    I already called the zoning info for where I live. They are the ones who told me that I need a whole acre when I only have a half. Of course I did not leave my name! I do not live in the city, but the "county". It's best described as suburban, but very close to commercial areas. I am not...

    I'm so excited, i sold my first eggs!!!

    Those "free range" and "cage free" eggs in Whole Foods and places like that, never mind the regular supermarket are a BIG RIP OFF. If you do some research on the web, you will learn that the chicks are raised in virtually the same industrial farming conditions as regular egg farms. They get by...

    Should I break the law??

    Thank you all so much for your quick responses. Now, I need to figure out which are the quietest most docile breeds. Also, if there are any exotic looking ones that are quiet, docile and good layers--I will try that "Exotic Ground-Dwelling Parrot" on any nosy neighbors. BTW, what's with the...

    Should I break the law??

    Hi I am new here. I've always wanted a backyard "homestead". I would be satisfied with bees and chickens. I called the zoning board in my area and they informed me that I need 1 acre minimum to have chickens. I have 1/2 acre. Also, my neighbors on both sides are virtually NEVER in their...

    a question about feeding

    Thanks for your quick reply. while I was waiting I found this, which just confirmed my suspicions. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=19243 I'm going to read the forum for a while and read, learn, etc before I jump into this. Also, I need to figure out the zoning issues. kv

    a question about feeding

    Hi I am totally new, this is my first post. I would love to have a few hens. I have heard that "grass fed" is the best. My real question is this: once I knew someone who told me she fed her chickens the leftover food from the B&B where she worked. So this would be raw veg scraps, and...
