Hello, I don't have any coops or runs, but I may be hatching some chicks in the spring, depending on if my girls are laying.  I have pure Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana and a bunch of mutts

Hey neighbor! I am on my way to Salisbury and probably just passed your home. We live right off of 113. Woodside Lane. There used to be a restaurant called the Legacy and night club back there.
My son would love to have one of your Ameraucana chicks this spring. You can PM me and we can talk about setting that up. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello from Frederick, MD!

I'm looking for the rules on keeping chickens on a suburban lot in Frederick. I thought it was banned if you have less than 3 acres, but I can't find the specific ordinance online. Also, does anyone know if there is an organized effort to change the law? Thanks!

Sharing in case anyone is interested. The Humane Society of Harford County has a beautiful, young Dominique rooster available (incorrectly listed as a Barred Rock). His adoption fee is only $5.00! I'd take him if I didn't think my girls would completely beat him up.

The chicken was just a White Rock, I was not looking for anything special just an egg layer - if you have anything now let me know - that is a drive for 1 bird though......

This may sound odd -and I would quarantine! !-but have you checked your local humane society/pound? Just a thought.

That's not an odd idea at all! Local shelters get farm animals all the time, they just don't or can't advertise them the way they do dogs and cats and I would think they've been vet checked. Great deal!
