Oh Brian, your luck is so horrible with those babies!!! That is heartbreaking. I'd give you a hug but my emotion icons aren't showing again. Are you sure it's a fox?? Were they not in their coop? OMG!!!

Dwight is my Houdans rooster. He is a total love bug Very mellow, there is something about him that reminds me of a cat, i can't explain it.....when I hold him he just is so still and loves the attention so much. He really does not crow much anymore, just when I come outside he crows at me once or twice to say hi. The girls are OK....but he is the one that really makes me love the breed. He is not a ding-a-ling like the girls. But they are so friendly, I can't complain

The other roo I have is Vinnie the SG. He is not as mellow he has become more high strung...yells alot, mates constantly (all day long) he is always stamping his feet everytime a girl comes near him. He is an awful lot of fun, very entertaining, but I don't adore him like I adore the Houdan roo. I can't hold Vinnie, he is always flapping and trying to chase the girls. And he screeches all morning long until about noon. Little stinker. Cute and fluffy and rowdy but a little stinker. I might try keeping a different SG male if he keeps being all crazy. It is like he has "small-dog" syndrome lol

Lilwanis--I am TOTALLY bummed out for you right now. Anyway your property has any grandfathered in animal rights? It seemed to be situated like it was there first then the subdivision came in and built all those homes near you...all that land right around it like a little island. It would be worth checking into? I sure hope something works out.

I was led to believe that was the cae. The animal control guy didn't seem to believe that was possible though :'( I will call tomorrow and see.

That sums up how I feel Thankyou.

They aren't roosters if they don't crow, right?

Desert, I may be able to pick up those feeders for you.


Hi Red. He's going to try for tomorrow night to bring those feeders, if he can fit all 7 in his wife's VW bug... that should be fun...lol. I will keep you informed. Thanks!!

Lilwanis, that's terrible that you can't have roosters. How did you find this out? This is going to sound a little crazy (well, crazy to anyone but you guys), but my biggest pause from moving from this house that is waaaaaay too small for our family is that odds are, our next house will be someplace I can't have roosters. And the idea of giving up my roosters is abhorrent. I totally get your devastation.

I agree. I wouldn't know what to do without my roos!!! They just go with the whole plan.

A neighbor called animal control. I am going to see what I can do in the way of permits, but am not feeling hopeful. Rumor has it that others have roosters in my immediate area, with a permit, I doubt it, but worth looking into. There are eight neighbors surrounding my backyard. I am so sad right now.

Even worse, I can't let them free range in my yard. My poor girls will not understand.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can get a special permit. Thought you had grandfather rights!!! UGH!!

Stupid neighbors... how were your chickens hurting them???

Finally some great news!!! I talked to the property manager and I got the house

I couldn't be more excited. Cynthia, it looks like we will be neighbors

YAY!!!

I was starting to get depressed...geez!!
