About 10 miles. Not far. Getting out of town into the country.

Hey y'all, Bloomington, IL here. I'm looking for someone local to build me a coop. I have something in mind I'll put a pic in here. Does anyone know of someone in Central Illinois that will put one together for me? I'll be doing the run myself I just would like a cute smallish coop for say 8-10...

Just finished the baby coop since I had to separate the BR from the BO. The door comes tomorrow. But for someone who has no building skills it's just ok. It will work. It's just behind the big run.

Good idea! Thanks.

Kinda wanted to show off my hard work with the new run. It's just me with no carpenter skills so I made it as simply as possible. Used cattle Panels, chicken wire and still need to put up the hardware cloth around the bottom. Still need to paint the door.

Maybe you know, can I put the baby roo in with the 6 week old pullets?

Thanks for the quick reply. I just today got a call that my ordered roo is in. I ordered him in March and was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. But thanks again!

Hey y'all, I'm in Bloomington IL and I'm looking for a young Orpington roo. Anyone have one to either trade or sell or give away?

Thanks Cavemanrich! That's good advice and I'll take it. We do have a lot of predators out there since no one lives there. Coyotes, cats, fox, owls and hawks. I plan on getting a Roo or 2 as well. I will take all the necessary precautions against all foes!!! I normally go out around 1pm to feed...

Thanks Justso! Im thrilled to no end! I've been working on my Pastor (my brother) for a year and he finally relented!!! The squeaky wheel gets the oil! Hahaha!!!!!

Hello Chicken lovers! I'm finally back! I found the perfect place to raise some chickens! I'm so stoked! My church owns some farm land outside of town with a couple of barns and I've been given permission to raise some chickens there. I'm out there every day because I take care of 4 Cats to...

Just a quick update on the girls. My niece found a great home for them. I will have visitation rights and fishing rights as well!!! So I'm quite happy about that.

Yes, as am I. I clean house for the attorney who helped me to begin with and we thought it was approved, so he's going to help me fight it.

I've decided I'm going to appeal. I'll re-home these girls, my niece has some chicken people friends. Then I'll write my letter and start my protest rolling. Why put the option out there if they weren't going to allow it to happen? I met all their requirements and out of the 50 people they...

Thanks for the hug. Much needed right now!

Yes, my tears are all dried up for now. I also thought it was a done deal. Then I found out that it had to go before the Council tonight. I ended up with 3 Ameuricana chicks. 10 weeks old today. Got rid of the rooster. Drove him down to Effingham to a very nice lady there. I've worked so hard...

I am absolutely crushed. The City Council just held their vote for me having my girls. I was denied by 1 vote. My hoarder neighbor has complained about "what if there's smell what about predators". I'm just beside myself. I am so attached to these beautiful creatures and I'm about to cry. I...

I am allowed up to 4 hens. No rooster .

Good News! Bloomington has nixed the $300 permit for Chickens in town. I'm more than thrilled! This is just so fantastic. I can get my permit now. Already have everything else. 😂🤪

Here's my Girls, I call them "The Ancient Ones" 😂 There's Mable, Clarabelle, Priscilla and Olive.
