Completion On a dark and stormy morning; the golden henhouse. At the door, the white crow Clipped in, and with outstretched wing, Called a bird to her mate; "Come!" said the crow, And he answered, and they came. Now I'm in the great room of the henhouse And this white crow is calling a...

I grew up in Bloomfield, just outside the capital of Hartford, and am exploring moving back there, so one of the first things I did was to check the L.O.R.E there. I tried checking the ordinances online, but couldn't use the search feature from my phone at the time. So I just called the Town...

Hello and :welcome from Connecticut! I had to check a map; you're way up there! (I have relatives in Ocala, my boyfriend lived in Fort Pierce for about a year, and others in the Kissimmee area.) I feel almost new here myself, since I had to give up my chickens some time ago, and don't come on...

@Botsford Family Yes, someone I found through my feed store took them home just this afternoon. @jamita810 (I know, a little late, but I haven't been on in a while) @HeritageGoose13: Here in New Britain, it is not illegal to have chickens--hens or roosters; I see (from what @Dispatch273...

@Arturo0129: Shirley is an Easter Egger, and Peep, a Black Austrolorp, (I guess my signature isn't too visible )

Who would like two more hens? I cannot lose my last two to a raccoon/fox/fisher or whatever got my sweet Connie! Besides, my landlord asked me to get rid of them months ago (and it doesn't look like my sister in the Berkshires is really going to learn to build a coop so she can take them in.)...

As one who has lost chickens to raccoons, I feel your fear. I know it was just instinct but I highly recommend your reaction with the rake--I now believe that's part of why I haven't seen a 'coon in a long time, 'cause I think I connected, with that rake-like tool, and he/she went back to the...

, thatchickschick! You kinda "snuck in" here without a newbie post. (I get the feeling you aren't that new at chicken-keeping, just posting on this site.) Hope the dog crates worked out for you. It was only this afternoon I got a path sno-blowed to the coop (had to tromp through foot-high...

How are the rest of my CT peeps preparing for the impending Blizzard Colbie (aka Juno)? I have to go out and find/repair a starter cord for the snowblower that my landlord provided for my use. Yikes! I don't think I actually could do it, but I'm giving some consideration to bringing my 3 girls...

Now, granted, there are probably quite a few other things I could and should be doing, (finding some important papers, figuring out and then cooking something for supper--yikes, It's after 9:00 pm!), but while I was reading my, myYahoo local news earlier, I somehow went from news of a former...

Anyone want some more chickens? I think I have to rehome my girls, per my landlord. I've been letting them free range in the yard since spring, and he seems to think that their poop is attracting flies, and that plus their scratching & digging will turn off people looking at the other...

Central CT peeps: Tomorrow, Saturday the 22nd of March, is Chick Day at Labieniec's in Berlin (Kensington). Here's their event page: http://aslabieniec.com/events I went to get my layer feed yesterday, and they were just putting the little fuzzles "out" in the different sections, with a...

I was actually looking for something unrelated, and I saw this story: http://www.wfsb.com/story/24977007/infectious-chickens-found-in-condemned-plainville-home Concerned as well as curious, I then searched more, to see if there was any detail about what was the "disease that was very infectious...

I've seen this sometimes in the summertime, when they feel just as hot and lazy as we do. I can't tell where you are (no profile info yet), so what's the weather like there? If it might be something else, I'm confident others will jump in to help answer your question. And by the way, .

Almost a month ago one of my hens didn't go in the coop with the others. It was dark when I went back out to look for her. Using a flashlight, I searched behind the coop, finally finding her body underneath (raised coop).... The University of Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic...

Someone please tell me what (predator?) animal left this calling card: Sorry I didn't have a ruler or quarter for size reference, it is about 2 to 3 inches long, 1/2-inch? wide. I saw it near the bottom of the ramp from the (closed) pop door to the run. I also realized that when I closed the...

It's been almost a month and a half since you posted that you left the note. Anything to report?
