    Township continues to Persecute me!...

    Thanks to all for your words of good advice and moral support. I showed up in court at a very "inconvenient" 7:58 a.m. on Monday morning, (as it said on my "defendant's copy,") only to be told by the court clerk that I didn't need to be there! She said the notice I received was intended for my...

    Township continues to Persecute me!...

    Hello all, My "behind the times," township, (Bangor, Bay County, Michigan,) is still proceeding to charge me, (in court,) with violation of their "blight" ordinance! I own five boats, (all of which are now stowed for the winter on my 80' x 60' asphalt "parking pad,") and only eight chickens...

    Temperature goes down to -20 below here!

    Hello, you "chicken lovers," This year will be the first time I've attempted to keep a flock over winter. As I stated in "header," in my part of lower Michigan, (outskirts, Bay City,) it can reach an absolute temperature (not considering wind chill,) of 20 below! I know egg production will...

    I would simply empty one of the waterers and turn it upside down in a warm place 'til it is dry. I would then wire brush, (a brand-new one, not the one you've used on your grill,) the rusty areas, and give them a couple of "light" coats of Rustoleum spray paint. (Four light coats are...

    Township headaches...!

    Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, but I view my time in service to our government much as you would view going to work on a regular basis...it was simply my job, for 18 years. Until "inaccurate intel and reconnaissance," (I'm quoting the official U.S. response,) "grossly...

    Township trying to take 10-year old girl's pets away -- support needed ASAP

    If you have "good" health insurance, you could likely persuade a psychiatrist, (or a free, licensed "counselor" from your local municipal mental health association,) to write a letter stating that these chickens are essential to maintaining your daughter's sense of well-being and her continuing...

    Not newbie, but need advice...

    Can anyone offer advice about keeping chickens and ducks in same, (very large,) coop? Also, I have two roosters, (both "accidents,") from Tractor Supply Company. I had to "rescue" two ducklings immediately after placing them in coop, or both roosters would have pecked them to death! Please...

    Township headaches...!

    My township in Michigan "permitted" me to keep poultry in 2016, due to a letter sent to them by my Veterans' Administration psychiatrist, who pointed out that "as a 100%, combat-disabled veteran, keeping poultry is essential to my continuing recovery from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder...
