I wonder if you can get around the ordinances (or Albany, lol) with NYS's Right to Farm law? I dunno what it says or where to find it, just know we have one, lol
We live out in the boonies but apparently in town they are only supposed to have so many pets and can't have roosters.
A friend of mine used it to get around town ordinances, he also put up "temporary" buildings so he wouldn't get taxed on stuff. My buildings are all temporary buildings, of course. I *could* move them, I just don't.
Now I would LOVE to put up a barn, but then I would need permits and all that jazz, if my husband would just give up and let me have the whole garage, all would be well. Silly man still thinks at some point he'll get to use it again.
I had a hen hatch out 7 chicks today (Did I mention I am overrun with stuff?) so I had to find a spot for her so there would be an empty nestbox for the other chickens, nothing yet from the eggs I saved from the nest of the hen who got eaten, and nothing from the hen who picked the worlds worst nesting spot.
I have invented a fun new game, I call it "Duckling Rescue, Toss and Run" Which involves saving ducklings many times per day from all the spots they get IN to but can't get back OUT of, dodging an attack duck while catching the little buggers, then tossing said duckling at her while running in the opposite direction.
