    Roosters in Michigan

    Bedford Twp ordinance allows a certain number of chickens based on the amount of land. Some Villages, such as Clarksville, only allow 6 hens no roosters. If you are looking for property with acreage located in a rural area you should be safe. Calhoun and Barry counties are good areas to consider.

    Doberman, female. We had one 30 years ago, sweetest dog ever. Someone stole her from our yard, was heartbreaking. She had her tail and floppy ears.

    More questions about sand

    if indoor sand (washed construction sand-various size grains) is kept dry, it is great as coop litter-I've used it for years. Outdoors I cannot speak to, but in the coop-great, scoop with kitty scooper at least ev other day & it will be smell free
