The system is SO slow today. I keep getting errors when I try to read by, so sorry - I loved the goat in passenger seat photo Dax!!! Awesome. I hope the vet visit went well. The Broody with babies trying to roost was so cute!! My broody keeps jumping up into one of the nesting boxes and 3 chicks follow, but the lone silkie baby has to be lifted into the box at night. It just sits on the ground crying, and mom coos at it, but it is a scardy cat...
Ok the best news I could have gotten....the compliance officer came up and walked my whole yard. Says that it's an amazing piece of land - that the complaints that have come in are just jealous neighbors that are stuck on 6,000 foot lots. He said he appreciated how easy we were to deal with, and how much effort we have put in to comply. He said most people ignore them, dodge them, and block their calls - they have to go to the properties forcefully (to me-that is sad.)
We have 1 shed that is too close to the other and we are already in the process of moving it. He'll come back in 2 weeks to re-check. The chickens, he said he didn't see ANY reason why I can't get approval of an overlay. But that would take time.
When we mentioned 4H - he said that if we can show him that my daughter is enrolled with 4h, then he will close the complaint about chickens and never open another. The city passed a law, that allows 4h members to have up to 6 chickens - but NOBODY ever counts the number of birds. If we have roosters - all that goes away. I can lose all of them. Roosters are banned!
So, the first 4H meeting we are going to is this Tuesday. I do NOT need to get rid of any more chickens!
