Who cares about the house, I'm with you and it's all about the property. A house can be modified at anytime, that's just a material item, the property is the value. I wish my husband were as much about the country living as I am, but he's a city boy, born and raised right here in Portland. He's always told me he's afraid to move to the country caused I'd end up with more pet...Big pets like horses & goats, oh and of course more chickens.
Right now in Ptld I am over and beyond my 3 hen limit. I've got 5 in the Backyard 22 brooding here in the house, and about 18 eggs in the bator. I'd like to have about 10 or 12 total, just wondering if I can pull it off..not sure how much of an outlaw I want to be. I've been considering the permit, but I dont want to jump thru the hoops, let alone let the county know whats going on in my backyard. My husband thinks I shouldn't worry about it unless someone complains, all I know is I am addicted, luckily I keep bantams, so there not large hens
Yes, the Big pets can acumulate! My neighbor just called today to see if I wanted a bottle fed doeling (goat) to add to my little herd. I told her probably not because I have sooo much to do (we put the chicken before the hen house so to speak and are scrambling to finish building for them). But... I have to say, I keep thinking about another cute baby, only two days old. Sigh.
I will tell my husband how many you are keeping in town and them maybe he will stop teasing me!!! I like your husbands attitude!
