Jane, I grew up like that on 30+ acres. Over the years, neighbors crept closer and closer. Over 50 new houses built all around that can be seen from various points property. My dad still lives there.

We live on 50 acres & are surrounded on 2 sides by timber land owned by individuals. 2 neighbors on other sides own large acreage also & our house is on far corner of our land from them. Anyway i like being far out in the boonies but 2 miles from town.

I don't live far enuff from town ,my closest neighbor is too close and my ten acres is suffocatingly small and folks call me a recluse , and they ask why I home school my kids ,why i raise critters and a garden,when I could very easily buy groceries in town,I've even been called a prepper ,and why do you need so many guns and ammunition, why indeed !!!!

I wanted so badly to help with the Cream Legbars. But, I wasn't good enough for them..... I had to join the Legbar Club and the APA. I just wanted to breed them. If I had gotten lucky enough to get a show quality one I would have GIVEN it to someone to show. Well, I couldn't do that, the chicken had to be shown by the breeder. Bull shIit, lots of breeders were showing chickens they bought from the importer of the breeder. Then they changed the SOP they were writing so much that my rooster no longer fit the SOP. Then the members started arguing over the proposed color change. Then they decided the chicken's minimum weight needed to be larger. So, now my rooster was the wrong color AND too small. When spring came around and the new generation of hens started laying eggs that were greener than blue, they decided to accept green as an acceptable egg color. I got upset and complained because the breed was advertised as being a BLUE egg layer and that was the reason they were imported.

When someone pm'd me and said maybe I should choose another breed since I was so disappointed with them, I went to the hen house, cut off all of their ID bands and told them they were normal chickens now and I still loved them.

The I got on my computer and pm'd her back and told her I would keep the breed since I wasn't upset with the breed, I was upset with the idiots involved with the breed. Never heard from them again.....

I felt your pain!!! I decided to ignore the idiots that banter and fight over what should be with this breed.
