I think so....well do you think pullet or cockerel? I definitely have no experience with that breed.

I'm no good at the gender game, og my 20+ years with chickens most of my experience comes from 17 years on a commercial broiler farm and thats not going to help us here lol

Hello!
I'm in KCMO, and just got a house. My boyfriend is planning on doing some growing, and I'd love to breed some chickens for fun..
Right now we are in research phase, trying to see what can work, because the yard sadly isn't as big as we would like. I should have room for a few hens though.

Does anyone know if KC has height restrictions on coops? I cannot find that in our ordinances. Also, we are on a corner lot.. and the front/side yard is much bigger than the back (also we have a neighbor very close in the back). Are coops in the front okay?

And I was reading our composting ordinances but it looks like you can only use yard clippings and vegetable waste, etc. What do you guys do with your chicken poop?

Hi!
I'm in St Louis (well just outside the city). I have two chickens and one duck (the duck is my baby whom I love waaaaaaaay too much). I've been on the site off and on for educational purposes mainly (3 years it says.... Wow!) , but am enjoying being a bit more involved as of recently.

KC does have restrictions though not sure of the details. I'm I Independence and can have up to 6 hens no roos ( I do not think KC Allows roos either) my coop has to be so many feet from adjacent residences.
