Lilwanis, I can't believe a neighbor called animal control without even talking to you. How come they can't free range either? PM me and we'll look for some good property for you. Lisa brings up a good point though- often times, if you're over a certain size, you do get animal rights grandfathered in somtimes. There's a lady in my neighborhood who has just over a half acre. By current rules, she can't have cows, but because she's ALWAYS kept a cow on the property, she's grandfathered in. So maybe it'll work that way for you? Pancake, what if you were to make a sign for the farm, explaining what a broody hen is, what she'll look like, etc so that way, they understand she isn't sick? Silly, how do you know your silkies are boys? Lisa, have your crazy neighbors complained about your roosters yet? Brian, congrats on the new house!!!
. We did try leaving them out at first but the little one is so rowdy at 5:15 am good grief. So the garage is working out pretty well. It will be a pain when it is cold and dark out early this winter to go nab them and haul them in though....not sure if that will work out or be too much work.
