@chicken danz if you ever get pics of them I'd love to see them. I've been looking for a dog for my folks since theirs died and maybe I can get them convinced that a Pyr would be a good option.

I may have one available who is still a pullet but is laying. She doesn't have great spots yet. She will spot up more once she molts the first time. Also may have a couple of young ones that would be old enough to sex.Hi! I am looking for some black mottled hens for a project. Anyone have any?
HELP! I was at the Planning Commission meeting Monday night (June 26, 2017) in Olathe where the new UDO ordinances were being put up for a vote. I was there because of a change in the ordinances regarding chickens. I was able to postpone the vote for two weeks so that we could look at whether the wording and limits are optimal. If anyone from Olathe gets this let me know what you think and how it would affect you.
I think the acreage thing is overkill. I can see having limits to how far the coop can be to the neighbors yards and having it required to be in the back yard. I mean my son lives in Olathe as well as some good friends and most people don't have acres in Olathe. I've never seen a municipality that requires so much land space per bird. It's not uncommon for a city to have requirements for not allowing a rooster. And for most municipalities the number of chickens they are allowed is anywhere from 4 to 12 without a special permit. I personally think that having to pay for a permit is a way for towns to line their pockets. It doesn't protect the neighbors or make any difference in the way the chickens are housed and cared for. Without a rooster there should be no noise complaints. Some municipalities require neighbors on each side of the chicken owner to agree to them having chickens. My take on that is that if neighbors are worried about unsightly coops etc that a privacy fence could be required instead. A good number of the newer housing areas in Olathe have an HOA that will have rules prohibiting chickens so why in general should the entire community have such strict outlines?
I think it is time for most of these towns to see that people want to get back to being more self sufficient. And that they care about the quality of food that is being fed to their families. Just because they live within the confines of a city limit they shouldn't be limited to not providing their own food. The same would apply to putting in a home veggie garden.
If you are really interested in the good of the community I would certainly allow for people to own at least a limited number of chicks or hens.
Danz, those are beautiful pups!! I'm still working on convincing my parents that they need one. Lol I'm making progress with my Mom. My Dad is still dealing with the loss of his beloved GSD so he's not that convinced yet. If you end up not getting them all sold let me know.@Prairie Fleur here are the pups I still have but I believe they are all spoken for now unless someone changes their mind.
