We had a friend help us build the main structure of the house and run. We hung vintage windows that we had acquired many years ago from side of road. We painted it with the same colors used on our house. The hardware cloth was the most difficult but now this thing is like Ft Knox. Our biggest...

Thank you. So, our ordinance currently allows roosters although that may be changing But I've had chickens before on acreage and I couldn't imagine having a rooster in close urban proximity. Plus, our poor three remaining girls wouldn't be very happy after some time.

These are my two Welsummers (I think) (on the left). The one on the far left (Becky) I'm very concerned is a roo. Right now I'm hoping that Becky & Baby will stay as sisters as well. We've had them 5 weeks this weekend. I will be very sad if we go from four to three. My son got quite upset when...
