Bummer Itsren! I was looking forward to chatting with you again and meeting Jess. I'm sorry your DD is sick, I hope she feels better soon!

Does this mean you are coming today? Yay

If CR brings the eggs to me tomorrow I'm happy to take them to Renee!

I'm debating... do I write a short e-mail to my oldest son's teacher or just let it go. Thoughts?

Yesterday, when my son was explaining his science project to the teacher, the teacher asked him a question about it. Instead of answering the question that was asked of him, he blurted out "We're illegal. We have too many chickens." The teachers responded "That's not good". DH said he didn't have time to explain the situation. I tell ya - my son has been obsessing over us having too many chickens since the day the chicks hatched. We've explained to him over and over that when they are out from underneath the heat lamp, the boys will be going away and we won't be over the limit. We told him the city, or the neighbors, are not going to care about chicks and if we had to explain it to anyone, they would completely understand the situation.

So - would you bother the teacher with an explanation, or just let it go?

I don't think chicks count towards the legal limit.

Minus the cough, I'm feeling OK today so hopefully I will accomplish some tasks. Need to spend time with the chickies!!!!

I hope you feel 100% soon!

I'd let it go Renee. Kids say crazy things every day LOL

That's what we keep telling him, but he insists a "chick" is a "chicken". He's a very black and white kid when it comes to his thought processes. There are no shades of grey with him.

I would research the wording in your local ordinance first. Does it state you can only have so many chickens in your yard, or on your property? Fine line left to interpretation there. I personally would not count chicks in the total you can have. I think it should be only adult birds, since the chicks cannot break the noise ordinance. Then go from there as to email teacher or not.
