Stop it Mike! I can't unsee that!

Michael and I just got back inside from doing the big chicken dance. We moved everybody to their new homes. We now have 38 chickens, but I am going to be hatching. My big coop now houses all my general layers except the Marans and they are in a coop by themselves. Coop 1 is all Icelandics and Coop 2 is now Isi, Lukka and 3 of their Icelandic offspring. I think I will mix those up with the new Icelandics I am a hatching to reduce inbreeding.

Glad to have the big move done!

There is no noise ordinance for this county, however, if there is a complaint and the sheriff checks it out and finds out the noise "rises to a certain level" he can offer the complainant the right to file a citizen's arrest. The deputy will then cite the offender for the person filing the citizen's arrest. There is a risk in filing a citizen's arrest if the charges are unfounded though. So you have to be willing to face getting sued before you do it.

I did it last summer against the guy blaring the music through outdoor speakers directly up to our house. Despite it being 1:30 in the morning and the noise was deafening, all the deputy did was order the security guard for the gated community to go tell them to turn it down.

This county is still part of the wild, wild west.

Nevada County General Plan based upon the following central theme:

Fostering a rural quality of life.

Aren't roosters part of a rural quality of life?

I wouldn't risk asking for a "citizen arrest" when the proper authority wasn't willing to cite. Yes, roosters are part of rural life, a good, enjoyable part of it. Most people grow accustomed to common noises around them, it becomes "white" noise.

Mary, I know the loss of money on the other breeds hurts. But, I am so glad you are going to concentrate on Icelandics again, you have done so much for the breed.

Although they are not auto sexing, the UofA blues are so darned cute!

They lay a lot of pretty blue eggs too!

Splash UofA Blue that I hatched Sunday:



I gave up on CLs the first year I hatched them.

That one is going to be high on drama! Cutie!

Huge ditto!

Thank Mike!

Isi is crowing up a storm out there and pacing to get to the rest of his girls, my entire laying flock. They are now housed by themselves without a man to boss them around.

I think things will settle down once everyone gets used to the new housing, roommates and next door neighbors. I'll probably throw out a little extra scratch a couple of times today to keep them occupied.

toss out a couple of cabbage heads. Thee is a lot of cabbage in the stores now and it takes them some work to tear it apart.

There's much to be said for a rooster-free existence, especially for older hens. We lost Fern during the night. She would have been 5 years old at the beginning of June. She's been needing to go for weeks, but she was a tenacious girl. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...roline-update-post-21-feb-27/20#post_13004768

I am sorry you lost her!
