I can see/hear something like this when you start getting eggs...
"Oh, are you getting eggs yet?"
"Why yes, I am, and they are wonderful!"
"Do you think you will have extras?"
"I am sure I will have more than I will need myself. But I am sure my dog can help me eat a few, and I can cook up a few as a treat for my hens. Then I can feed some to the compost pile, or I could give some to the halfway house down the street."
"Well, we would take them off your hands. No need to waste them."
"Remember that day I had that beam balanced on my head when I was building my coop and you just watched me? And remember that other time when you sent the inspector out after you complained about how big my coop was? Well, I had to make sure I didn't have too many hens, so now I only get enough for the important people in my life and a few bums up the street. So, sorry."

Coffee so glad the inspectors were nice to you and sounds like no permit needed. And how fun it will be when nothing needs to be done about the nice big run and you are eating your delicious eggs.

People have always been obsessed with the eggs. People that know nothing about chickens and how fun they are only ask about the eggs....

There is always the unhappy neighbor. Unhappy with themselves, Unhappy with life...not happy until they are making somebody else unhappy. Not doing anything productive with their lives. Busi-bodies. For certain.

Hold your head high girl. You have much to be proud of there. They're just jealous....

well my county inspector came out today. he said one of my neighbors called and mentioned my coop was very large and thinks i might have way more chickens then the number allowed. the inspector said i have done a very nice job and the chickens look happy,healthy and spoiled he did say that is a very large run for this area but he has seen dog kennels that size. he spent about an hour here talking about he is an old farm boy and how his job was the cleaning and eggs and how he missed it. So it actually turned out well...
I'm sure it was one of 2 Hags that are younger then me, I think they hate their lives. they are just tired already i think, i think they are worried that I'm single, Not my fault they are Ugly and always bi$ching at their husbands. maybe they should try putting on some makeup and being nicer to their husbands and they wouldn't have to worry. Just another reason for me to move to the country,,nosy neighbors,,yet they were the 1st to ask if they could have any extra eggs...

No extra eggs for you nosy neighbor!

My neighbors love my chickens, they come over to check out the coop and see the chickens, talk about their friends' chickens. good times. I love talking chicken.

Which reminds me, I was at ramsey farm and garden, of course there were baby chicks and ducks. They had some blue wyandottes, i'd never heard of them, so cute! i'm gonna go google it and see what the grown hens look like.

googled it,
oooooohhhhh pretty!

coffee, glad your inspector visit turned out so well. It is an icky feeling that someone would just call the inspector rather than talking to you....but....you can be really surprised about who actually made the call. might not be the miserable women. could be their jackass husbands. ya never know.

Had a rough day followed by my car acting up midway home. Made it to a car joint about 40 miles from home, my girlfriend had to get out of her pj's and come drive all the way to pick me up. I just sunk $ into it with new tires, new sway bars, new bushings, and a new drive shaft, and if it turns out my transmission is toast I am going to be really having a major sx7$*@) fit. So it was really nice when I finally got home to go close up the coop and count the chickens and hear the sleepy purring sounds. And despite the eggs in the nests, there wasn't a broody hen in the bunch!

plus, my worming herbs came today. SO I have to take a vacation day because I can't get to work tomorrow, so I'm planning on cleaning the coop out. I'm going to spend the day with the girls. good therapy!

I was on the MPC website earlier and saw they have a No-Crow Rooster Collar. You can even buy a bow tie for it, so your Rooster will look all extra swag And don't worry....one size fits all. Lol! I can't make this stuff up.....

I borrowed their pictures....




Oh, and don't forget....FREE SHIPPING! Yes!

ow! I hate the idea of no crow collars, seems just as bad as no bark collars. At least you can train a dog about barking...a rooster, maybe not (although that would be something to see).

anyone remember the chickens at paul bunyanland in brainerd or was it bemidji? there was a box with a glass front, and inside was a chicken. You put a quarter in and it lit up a light, the chicken pecked and out came a kernal of corn. that had to be back in the 60's.... anyway, you can train chickens, although I haven't the faintest idea of how

Due to the amount of egg requests my DW is getting at work, I may have to add another 5 or 20 more birds to my flock. Those office folks are intrigued by the Marans eggs.

I agree. Big buck came from a home where he had a collar. his neck is still bare from it. as soon as it came off he just crowed and crowed and crowed! he was so happy
