She crowed! Guess it's true. 0

How old is your chicken? I have a barred rock that we have been assuming is a girl but after the raccoon took the barred rock rooster this one has been making strange noises. Almost like she is trying to crow but not quite coming out that way. She is 16 1/2 weeks. I thought it was safe to say girl

Do any of you clip wings? I have 3 repeat offender escapees. I was wondering if it's painful and how it works.

All that you clip are the primary (flight) feathers on the wing. Just feathers, no tissue.

All my chick's are 8 weeks old. I suppose he can stay as long as he remains a gentleman.

Wing clipping is painless and effective if done right

So I went to court this morning for arraignment. Charges related to having a garden in the backyard. Criminal charges, mind you.
The hearing had been delayed several times by the judge but the last one I wrote a letter asking for an adjournment because I was having surgery.
Well according to the court file (ROA), the hearing was held anyway (2 in fact). I was not present and the judge considered issuing a warrant. That is still under consideration as I have to return to the court tomorrow for another hearing.
The judge was ticked off that I declined to give the details of my surgery in open court. Thank you HIPPA.
Also of note is that back in April, before any legal proceedings, there were fines, fees and costs assigned to this case. I have been declared guilty without the benefit of a trial or legal representation.
And I get to go back again tomorrow.

Raz, I'm new here and don't know your story very well, but it sounds like you're being railroaded. The Democratic process at its finest. Can we help somehow?

This has to do with having a garden?
