I've got a wwyd question for you folks... I seriously want a rooster but technically they're illegal within city limits. I actually did have one at one point but he was a young cockerel, 10 weeks or so old, and would harass the dogs. One day I forgot I left him out and came home to find him dead killed by them. They don't bother the girls but he would chase them and I guess he finally got on their last nerve, but I digress. That being said several of the backyard chicken keepers i know have them. My own next door neighbor had a RIR roo that they got rid of bc he was a jerk not bc of complaints. Anywho should I go with the flow and just get my roo or be a good girl and follow the rules?

I'd be inclined to not risk it and just stick with hens, but I've never had to deal with regulations so I don't know what the atmosphere is as far as how strict they are and what consequences you'd face.

Get a roo! Always the right answer. Adopt one.

Or maybe not 'cause disease risk.

Did the neighbor rooster crow a lot?

Buttering me up, eh?
Yeah, hoping I'll get some sort of inspiration/time this winter. I need to finish my tree vortex monster part thingy and I also gotta get on that crazy white roo of yours in a bone field. Or over a coyote corpse.
Plus, I've got some other things rattling around that I think would be cool chainsaw art.
But, you know, like a lame ass, I'll probably just do another jigsaw puzzle.

I’ve still got the goofiest smile on my face. This is the best compliment.

I mean, I guess that’s nice too.
Depends on how much you like pie.

I'm working on a interior shot in pencil that's heavy on the perspective. It's driving me insane.

Need to start a new thread in medicals. Work too busy to get her segregated. She is eating, just not much. Will get to it tomorrow. Just not her normal self.

Crop has water in it. Small. Keel bone prominent. Pale comb. Lethargic. Green/black poo where she sleeps. She is not roosting but sleeping in the nest box.

No Floppy is not Broody. Floppy went broody this spring. High strung thing that she is. The one with the chicks is doing fine. Mothering and teaching them to eat. They are fine in the tractor. Everyone can see and visit them. So funny watching the little ones wade through the grass.

I want to follow your thread when you create it so let me know.

I loved watching my mother hen with her little chick! It is by my favorite part of chicken keeping I do believe!

Btw my autocorrect changed hen twice! Once to Jen and once to gen? What one earth!

Even more than lentil soup and bagels.

EWWWW!!!! Lentil soup???? Sick. Back to enemy status.

Did the neighbor rooster crow a lot?

Yes. He had a no crow collar that worked to town down the volume some but he was an all day crower. Esp when other neighbors got their silkie roos; they'd all have crow offs.

I’m out everyone. I’ve got a fever and my throat is even worse from the coughing I’ve done today.
