Sounds like you've got the same Zoning staff we have. You can build anything here without a permit as long as it doesn't exceed two-stories or 120 sf. That's one horse stall lean-to, but no room for hay storage. Anything larger and you need a permit, which'll set you back a couple hundred and two months for bureaucracy. I made sure my coop and run were two separate structures, so they've got an alleyway connection (which the chickens LOVE to run down when the coop door opens). I think you can get away with building bigger IF the building is portable.

Yep, our compliance issue was really someone living in a motor home on our property. But the compliance officer is also in charge of building compliance, and animal keeping. So, since the original plans would have needed permits, splitting it made sense. Didn't lose too much space. Turns out the compliance officer hit it off with my dad, they had friends in common, he never asked about the chicken coops we have. Just closed out the complaint.

what kinds of veg. You intend to sow in spring?

It varies from year to year but always some old reliables.

I have four 4X40' raised beds for veggies that get rotated seasonally. I use one or two for chicken pasture for one coop with a hoop pen they can access the bed from.
There are also herb, berry, asparagus, potato and corn beds nearby.
I always grow spring greens (mesclun), spinach, lettuces, brassicas, chilies, tomatoes, tomatillos, Asian vegetables including long beans, melons, pumpkins.

I never get good "life" out of them

Ah. Same here. Some people complain about not finding incandescents any more. I suggest they use halogens because they put out heat as well.

Guess I'm used to used bulbs out of ovens that are 20 plus years old and I get a few years out of them yet

Those appliance lamps seem to last a while.

This thread is ridiculous! 560 posts since yesterday morning when I looked. I will never keep up.

It improves one's skimming skills.

Thanks for posting. It's been quite a long time since I heard that. It was popular when I was growing up.

No worries, I am AMAZED at how much work you put into the list! I am definitely addicted, but I see it ending for a while. I need to re-home my silkie roo (my only roo). He is too loud, and the No Crow Rooster collar isn't working. I've used the collar before on other roos - that I didn't want, and it worked. This guy, I have to choke him before he quiets down. Anyone want him? He's the dark one in the back.

A fine line between strangulation and suppressing the crow.

Very nice! I wish I could have the land for this.... I have in my garden a lot of fruit trees

Shalom Sour. Long time! How do you feel ? ET is OK?

Short, and hopefully easy question for y'all. Consider all other issues ideal, does a chick need to be able to move the egg shell to zip, or does it turn inside the shell to zip?

Hey, Benny, all is good.
