Ask as many questions as you would like. Welcome to the chicken world!

If you live at a condo or a location where you pay to a home owners association they might have rules that go beyond what the laws are. Pay off your grumpy neighbors with eggs. Happy chicken raising!

I believe Springfield may have had problems with people doing Cock Fights and also keeping chickens inside homes and that is why that law was passed. Springfield has too many other things to worry about than whether or not you have chickens. Chickens make less noise than all of the barking dogs...

Your chickens are beautiful! What is the kind with the feathers over their eyes?

Springfield got a third of what was expected. Last night I quickly reinforced the chicken run roof so it wouldnt cave in from the weight of the snow. Looks like I didnt have anything to worry about this time but now it is set up and i wont have to worry for the next storm either.

Hey Everybody! I am a new chicken owner in Springfield MA. When I say that to most of my friends they look at me like I am crazy. Who raises chickens in the middle of a city? This girl! I have 3 chickies living in my second bedroom right now which are one week old. They is an easter egger, a...
