Chickens In Ya Window

[scflock]

OK, first wrap up on this thread. Here it goes:

napdog is actually Mountain Man, BYC910 wants a drunken party with no evidence, gachooks dropped in then ran away again, I'm still a wuss on the weekends, Ravyn offered Ruby her poof, ross doesn't watch TV, 4 days in the fridge is fine, Ruby's kids force her to pay for cable, chicapee talks goats in the rain, Walnut told me how to finish a cock, frmboy rescued starving chickens, WV wants a bootleg cock, pissy is fine but p***ed is not, sell the box and give away the rooster, Friday is on a walkabout, GNO out is redundant, BYC910 has stinkybators, WV finally got a lav egg, turk found the hidden lair, Walnut can build an incubator but won't open a window, BYC910 is having Ravyn's babies, BR had a birthday parade or two, young hens will lay for machete wielding Asians, and my dad is Breaking Bad

Thanks for posting the entire conversation, and the ordinance. One funny thing before I give my serious reply: My wife and I have been having a 6 year debate over whether or not a chicken is female. I swear, I think she's pulling my leg, but she says a chicken is a girl and a rooster is a boy. I've googled, I've even pulled out the World Book encyclopedia from 1973 to show that when searching "chicken", roosters and hens are pictured, But I digress...

I love your argument, and your knowledge of the ordinance before calling, but you are in for an uphill battle. The one out the city has in that ordinance is "The keeping of animals must conform with good animal husbandry practices including, but not limited to, mitigation of noise". If the neighbors complain, and the city determines that your husbandry practices are not mitigating noise, then they will try to run you over and make you go away. I hate this for you, because I have been watching how much time you have taken to get started right, and this could be a dream killer. Please keep fighting it, and keep us posted on developments. I think it would be a very good topic for a thread of it's own, but you are more than welcome to keep it here

Wrap-up coming up, outline is done

I added that to the email SC. The term "mitigation of noise" was added on June 10th of this year AFTER I owned the roosters.

This is one line of the long email.

According to your city ordinance I can keep 40 chickens on the property. Sex is not specified or restricted. Even if the noise mitigation portion of your code is read to exclude roosters I owned and kept them previous to the rule change on June 10 2015. They should be grandfathered in to the previous code.

R.Soles. dogs are alot louder than roosters. I don't know whether those crow collars work or not but maybe if **it hits the fan you can use it as a compromise. I would think that unless it specifically states no roosters, they don't have a leg to stand on.
I recently read this article.

It's funny because we do have a neighbor with a louder barking dog.

I am trying to compromise with them. I'm getting rid of all but one rooster and i'm adding sound proofing to the coops. I can get away with a lot since we have dry air. I can have smaller air vents here.

My first choice was "rooster", then when the other word hit me it all came together

I'm so glad I live on property in the country

BYC is having Ravyn's babies...

I kinda liked Ravyn offering Ruby her poof...

I think the best lines were Walnut's finishing and your bootleg
