Thank you everyone! You have been awesome and have been great people to vent to lol. I love crazy chicken people hahaha.
X2! And congrats on the house, Brian! You will be right close to sweet Cynthia, how fun. Just watch out, or she'll talk you into the most beautiful chicks you've ever seen, hahaha
Lisa, if you're allowed to have roosters, I'd say that's a pretty nice gesture of you to be putting them away at night to save your neighbors grief. most people just leave 'em out. I put mine away because I'm not supposed to have them, hehe
But I absolutely refuse to give up my boys. They are for breeding, not just to look pretty. And I love the sound of Dwight! What a gentleman! If I wasn't already devoted to the Icelandics, I'd be very tempted to get Houdans and work on establishing a flock.
Lil, I always think that it's bad form when neighbors turn you in for something without approaching you, first. If you don't know it's a problem, how are you supposed to deal with it?? I'm glad you found out that you have the space to keep your birds. Good night, some people are just never happy. I found out today that I have a number of neighbors that aren't happy that some of my chickens wander. Hmm, funny, because they all told me they were fine with it.
I don't get people. Insert rant here.
Hey, who on here keeps quail? I know Sundance has had some. One of our fellow Utahns had a baby quail hatch under his broody, having mistaken the egg for one of his OEGB's eggs. The broody is acting like she won't accept it yet. In the event that he has to find a new home for it, is anyone interested? It's just a wild quail. Probably less than a week old. Terribly cute and peppy.
Well, I had an older neighbor come visit today. He has kept chickens before and loves them, but sold his last flock before winter. He's interested in getting more chickens. It's very possible that he will be taking a few of my birds for me, including my RIR, my BR, and my Barnevelder. He's also interested in a rooster, and he may take one of the half-Icelandic cockerels I have running around out there. It makes me happy to know that they might have another home with someone who cares for them, even if I cry when I have to let them go. My neighbor seemed very interested in my blue Ameraucana, too, but I'm not sure yet if I want to let her go so soon......
And (sorry for the novel) I checked the Icelandic eggs I have here last night. I've let them sit for two days, and the air cells in three stuck back to the shell!
Got a few more than are semi-stuck, and a couple that are downright loose. I put them all under one of the broodies last night, and I'm feeling more hopeful than I did when I first got them. Sphinx, thank you again for helping me with these eggs, too!
I am doing what I can. I may have to give up some birds but I will prevail. Working on a small business license and corporation documents as well as Right to Farm laws. My girls are ticked that I haven't let them out yet. They keep yelling at me 
I'll get it all sorted soon.
