    Hen acting like choking please HELP!

    I had a hen die once from a crop issue -- What seems like something insignificant to us may be a big deal with birds. I used to let them at grass clippings, but imo the clippings they ingest are at times too long -- When they bite some turf/grass, they naturally take the size appropriate for...

    Book~ "A Decade in Dorchester" (pictorial written by me)

    As a native Baltimorean (transplanted to Silicon Valley nowadays), I spent much of my youth from Denton to the eastern shore -- Beautiful land, water, great hunting and fishing, aw well as good people. I can't tell you how many summers I spent on the Nanticoke River, fishing and relaxing.

    Denied Refi by "Profits Not Chickens" Bank!

    Chickens in the Garden...I need advice

    i plant 3x as many tomatoes as I used to so the hens have their own place to frolic and feast. My cousin just bought me a book called "Chicken Gardens" by Jessica Bloom, it's really interesting thus far and has given me some good ideas for changes/modifications.

    Letter to City of Hayward... What do you think?

    I live in South San Jose, and I recently adopted a few birds from a lady in Hayward who got cited. Such a shame, her yard was very tidy, and the birds are sweethearts to this very day. :-(

    Harassed in Texas. Help? (update with pics on page 2)

    What amazes me is how much a few people can sour an entire neighborhood, or even a city council in some cases. No matter where you go, there's always one (or a few). Years ago, my next door neighbor was this way -- They were the first family in the 'hood (1969), and I run a care home for...

    Help me defend against my neighbors arguments---point me to the evidence!

    cats can carry toxoplasmosis and are way more "filthier" than a chicken.

    No Ordinance. Still told to get rid of them! MICH.

    your removal of the hens is akin to capitulating to an ordinance that does not exist. No ordinance means it's perfectly legal.
