Thank you. Yes, that is a very good idea. When I am relaxed and my head is lower than my heart so that oxygen can get to my brain, I am fairly lucid and can write with some clarity (if not conciseness). I have 2 months to get this together, and see my doctor next week.
It is likely...

Hey there schellie! Where abouts do you live?
Well, they have made it 8 hens only. No males of any kind. They relaxed some rules on the distance from the fence line and from the neighbors. So I have to cut my flock by 2/3 and get rid of my very responsible and quiet roo. My...

They can write tickets and fine me. But it would be interesting to see hat the judge would do with it!???
You are evil.......... I do have some thoughts. If somebody wanted to challenge their right to not grandfather in existing flocks, I'm in a perfect position. If my request for a...
I have no problem with very specific rules in an area where you have moved in to, such as a formal housing area. I live in a small town of less than 8,000 people. Average house age is probably 40-50years. And the average house cost is probably about $100,000. Many are much lower. There are...

The funny thing is that with my disorder and my depression that went along with it, I had a difficult time keeping up on the lawn and exterior (Well, the interior too if I am honest) cleanliness. (The chickens have helped that quite a bit.) Not a peep about any of that until I got...

Pinky, the only rooster I have now has only crowed at one time. 2 days ago at age 4 months. The flock was knee deep in mud, and no food until noon. He just had to tell me, I think.
Of all of my roosters, he seemed to get that a rooster crowed and within a couple of days it...

Love it!
Just wanted to say I am voting for you, weaveagarden. We keep chickens illegally here, though no complaints so far. Such bs in my mind. They're chickens for crying out loud. Sigh. Anyway, I'm glad it stalemated and I hope it goes well if it comes up again.
Well, they managed...
Very good story. Thanks. I am thinking about putting out a flyer to the neighbors explaining that... "I want to be a good neighbor to you all, but am having trouble, because of physical limitation, getting all of the work done by myself. Anybody want to put in a couple of hours making my...
So, the latest:
I called code compliance at our city hall today to find out about fences and heights and what not. I spoke to the man there whom I have gotten to know as we are doing some remodeling when we are able.
He gave me the info, and then asked where I was. After giving him my...
Here is the link to the article that followed the meeting last night. I have also noticed that it was written about in the Seattle paper and hit the AP.

Still, there will be more problems and issues to...
Oh Hi QA!!!
It is a bit of a walk down the street to see me. And your cup of coffee would get cold during the trek.
I had thought about moving to Toledo a while ago. They have a great doctor there that specializes in Dysautonomia (name for my group of probs.) But I found a doctor that I...
That is great...
Well I think we need to band together somehow. This is going on all across the country. I know other people don't want to get involved. But I had hoped that other chicken people locally would help more. I guess they did have a decent showing of people.... Not a crowd and...
Thanks very much. Great list, and maybe it can help others out there too.
I spoke with the other person that is specifically being targeted. We know that it is a matter of time, and that Now there may be some vandalism and other things to try to get us into trouble. We are going to try to...
I wanted to let people know that the Hoquiam city council voted tonight and it was a tie. Apparently the mayor can not break ties on this particular type of vote, so the issue dies until someone tries to push something else through. We are not going to get too comfortable however. We know...
I just wanted to come back and let all know that I am doing fine. I guess you all know why it is not a good idea for me to have gone to the meeting tonight besides the physical reasons. I need an edit button that somebody can push when I am upset. I am like one giant hormonal reaction...
You all have been very patient with me. I really appreciate it. But I know I am off in neverland right now and not making sense. So I have to go and let you get back to your lives. Thanks all.
