Sometimes the on-line ordinances don't list chickens, but "poultry" which is a catch-all for penned birds, I guess. A Google there might help. You could call Code Enforcement at City Hall or Planning and Zoning and let them do the research for you....hey, your tax dollars at work!



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

May your year be full of bright promise, good fortune and lots of happy chickens!

I've got 15 chicks banging around in the bator right now. I had two good pips that were in the running for the NYD Hatch Contest 1st chick hatched...but one got all ambitious on me and was out of the running at 11:40. THEN the second SF pipper got industrious and shot out of his shell at 12:35 a.m....and looks like may have won the contest!

The other eggie contender from back east was at 12:37. Thought we'd name the chick "Bravo" as you should've heard all the very loud coaching and cheering as it did its thing.... Well, except I have a bator full of all yellow chicks that, except for five toes on some, all look the same.

Token the TJ's egg has a pip! I've got one pipped SF I'm waiting on and then three Marans and one SF that are just silently sitting there doing nothing. Lollygaggers.

I love hatches.... It's like being a kid at Christmas!

Thank you everyone and Happy New Years to everyone. I am not big on resolutions, but we are trying to be less dependant on large chain stores and commercialized foods this year. I would much rather support local farmers and businesses. Out of curiousity what do you all do when your hens pass away from natural causes? And I have read that they live for 6-8 years, is that a pretty normal life span?

Kellee and

and the Nevada thread.

I haven't had any hens pass away yet but I'm going to burry them in my yard when this happens. There are some chickens that can live more than 10 years but hatchery chickens I've heard only live for 4 - 5 years.

I haven't made any resolution this year, I don't usually make them either. I just do what I can eating more naturally than chemically. I don't eat stuff with chemicals in them and if I can't find natural foods then I make it myself. I make tons of stuff myself now and loving it everyday.
