I had my day in court on Wednesday. Long story short, I was fined $506 plus $33 court costs and have until March 20 to remove the chickens. I moved the chickens on Sunday. I am still pushing the Board of Health to change the ordinance.

One of my neighbors reported me for having chickens which are prohibited. There is a new article at the following link: http://newmilford-nj.patch.com/articles/the-chicken-chronicles

In September I received a violation notice because the keeping of poultry is prohibited here. I presented my case to the board of health and in January they denied my request to have the ordinance changed. I was given 45 days to get rid of the chickens. After the 45 days expired I received a...

I went to the meeting today and they said they were unable to discuss the matter due to the impending court case. They did allow me to speak. I presented them with more documentation supporting backyard chickens and the 122 signature petition. I will update next week after I go to court.

I modified the link to work. Thanks, Jeff

I presented my case to the Board of Health in December and got my answer on Tuesday, request denied. I plan to continue pursuing this by all means possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jeff

I give my chickens fresh green Bamboo leaves and they devour them. I am not sure if they will eat the dried leaves or not.

A 5 watt panel will never be enough to power a heat lamp. I recently used 2 deep cycle batteries charged via 45 watts of solar panels to power a small fan during the day and it was only able to run for a few hours before the batteries were dead. The fan is less than 100 watts. FWIW, I have a...

I have this feeder and I am very satisfied with it. There is little to no waste.

The most efficient and cost effective thing to do would be to use regular ceiling fans controlled by thermostats. Solar electric systems are terribly inefficient and expensive. BTW, I have a 9.72 kW grid tied solar electric system on my house.

I would love to participate. I have 6 hens in NJ. Thanks

Quote: I would keep it charged using a battery tender. That will keep the battery charged and not over charge it.

Thanks

I am in north eastern NJ and new to this also. While there is no one nearby to purchase chickens from, I have found many within 1 - 1 1/2 hours away. Check Craigslist North Jersey, South Jersey, Central Jersey, Allentown PA, and Hudson Valley NY.
