    I'm going to court.... what should I ask for damages?

    hi, I didn't forget to come back. It's been a crazy week here with work and company staying over. The court didn't go well, there is a continuance, I'll report back around 9-11-12 or so. I'm rather emotional about the 'incident', the delay, and the confusion at court. I had no one to speak for...

    I'm going to court.... what should I ask for damages?

    I know I've seen this question addressed on here before but I cannot find the thread - and time is short. I'd appreciate any input, thanks. The court date is this Thursday! Two dogs killed two of my chickens. One more hen is damaged and may not lay again. Here are the bare facts: a police...

    MO woman faces charges over dogs

    I am trying to be rational and adult but I am still emotional about a dog attack on my chickens several months ago. I came home to a police note on my door and message on my answering machine. I ran to the coop and 1 young one was already dead, two were injured and bloody. I took them to the...

    Neighbor threatening to "take out my roosters"

    Wow. I have read every single post. I laughed, I cried (honestly!) I know we are only hearing one side of the situation (I try to step back and be totally fair if at all possible), and I want to say I do believe you and your portrayal of the conversations. That said - I think you are handling...

    How on earth will I decide on chicks???

    hi, I'm not sure if you mean Washington State or Washington DC. If you mean state that's where I am and I can give you the phone number and email of the lady I got my Marans from. She has a large flock, hens, roosters, pullets, and fertile eggs. I got fertile eggs and put them under my broody...

    Wanted to share a great tip I got and use every day~

    Say-y-y-y, I was just thinking about putting together an area for my hen with new chicks. They are doing Ok in with the other hens but they would definitely do better with a space of their own. I got rid of the few hens I had that thought it was OK to try to eat chickies brains, but it can get...

    Silkie hatching her first eggs

    Isn't that a great moment? I'm an ol' lady and I cried when my Silkie hatched out 6 eggs this past summer. I've had chickens for years but never a rooster and thus no newborn chicks. I bought fertile eggs for her and she was just the best Mama possible. You can hear about the miracle of...

    I am so confused???! Does this mean chickens are not allowed?

    Get it in writing. I went into City Hall here and spoke with the clerks (who pretty much run this tiny town). I was told "oh, yes, chickens are fine". Fast-forward two years I received a letter in the mail demanding my appearance at a town meeting for "chickens at large creating a nuisance". [my...

    Isn't it a revelation (if you're new to chickens) how different all of their personalities are? Kudos to Girlfriend for being the companion Amanda needs, what a treasure! The photos are lovely.

    Random Pics 2

    May 3rd, 2011, our Silkie has been broody for a month and the 5 other hens have pecked her poor head bald. I finally took mercy on her for her dedication and bought two Plymouth Barred Rock chicks and slipped them under her last night. (she is a virgin, so we can't leave her eggs to hatch) It...

    Welcome To My World

    I'm back into chickens - after over 10 years without. I grew up with animals, including cats & dogs, chickens, rabbits, goats, and a pony. I got 4 cats, a dog, over 100 rabbits, and many chickens for my kids when they were growing up. I believe they make a better person of you, teach you...
