Colorado?

New member and fellow Coloradan here! I live in SE Aurora looking to set up a coop. My intro thread is at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1094728/hello-all#post_16824447. Would love some advice in helping my future chickens survive our weird winters. Thanks!

Just moved to the Firestone, Frederick, Dacono area. I need help with our HOA changing the allowances. Town allows 6 hens, HOA says Zero. I went to the hoa meeting Thursday night and they gave me a lot of work and running around to do. Basically it will take a lawyer, my gathering up 50 signatures, a newsletter, me doing a face to face presentation in November, and then maybe just maybe in the spring we can get some. Well, don't you just love politics. The HOA members interrupted me, started talking about how goats licked paint off of cars, and how I was NOT about to ask for goats, was I?!?!?! I just laughed. I went there to ask about CHICKENS. I'm being ageist - really? All white haired old people. My mother is their age and she doesn't act, speak, dress, nor respond like they do. I'm appalled. Anywhoooo. I'm super excited to learn about chickens. We have a good friend who has them on her farm down the road. I would love to use them as a whole unit of study for our homeschooling that we will begin. We have had friends who got chickens, loved them so much they encouraged the neighbors to get some, they got some, then the neighbors next to them got some as well! We are all friends, but lived down the road. We visited their chickens a helped collect eggs, ate the eggs, and petted their chickens frequently. What is your acreage? How many do you have?

There is a great seller on CL that offers several breeds that are all hatched on their small hobby farm. http://eastco.craigslist.org/pet/5729807058.html Great for those just getting into chickens as the couple helps determine the best breeds for your family and gives a booklet with useful information on how to raise chickens. I got the Ayam Cemani , Easter Egger , Blue Isbar, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, and Bresse.

Anyone ever thought of getting a Lavender Orpington? I got three when they were 3 days old and straight run. 8 weeks later we have officially decided one is a rooster. We need to find him a home. If anyone is interested let me know. He is amazing and follows the girls everywhere.

He is the one in the middle.

I have a Cuckoo Maran rooster that needs a new home also.
