Thank you. I will definitely pay careful attention. I have a friend going as well who is more experienced than I am. In fact, since I have to work she may be picking out my hens for me.

Kiniska- the coups look great! I know what you mean about waste!! I'm trying to reuse as much as possible. My DH isn't as eager as I am, he thinks it harder to do!! No vision!!!!

I just moved back to Indiana from the east coast, and will be living in Fishers come late April. I'm interested in getting some chicks to raise on my own so that they'll be very docile and pet-able. My only real obstacle is that I have to get a chicken coop approved by the Neighborhood Association before I can build that or a fence. And that's got me a little nervous. Any advice on dealing with NRs or where I can find some female chicks of a docile and friendly breed?

and our thread! I will find the link for you here on BYC, its helpful dealing with cities as well as Neighborhood associations. Here it is:

I AM SO FRUSTRATED! Just had a visit from the county inspector. A neighbor complained that we were building a chicken coop and she doesn't want chickens near her house.

He said we can't have them because our property is not zoned Ag.

I am so bummed. I can re-home them easy enough, but that is not the point. We raised them from day old chicks and we really don't want to get rid of them.

I have 4 very sad children!!!!

Fight it! There's a lot of good info here:

Please, don't let them bully you! You have the right to own a few birds, Indianapolis allows it! Tell them its NOT fair! If the hub of our STATE allows it, why are they not keeping up with Indianapolis?!? I would tell them, also, I want my children to learn basic skills of farming and sustainability too!

My first post in BYC! I'm Deanna. I'm from Rochester, indiana, which is about 90 minutes north of Indy. I don't have any chickens yet, but hopefully we will this weekend after a local swap meet. I just built our coop today, big enough for about 4 hens. We are very excited, but its all still new to us.

and so glad you've joined our thread!!!
