Hello, City municipal code link here: https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/SoapLake/ I am a very frustrated and angry chicken owner. I am working very hard to keep my girls safe and happy. I have a neighbor who had called municipal code on my coop for being too close to my property line. So I...

Hello, my meat-loving friends! A few months back I posted this thread because I was on the fence about keeping meat birds. I've been interested in having meat birds for a while, but I'm from the suburbs (and now live in the city) and have never killed an animal in my life. However, you all...

I am making a short film (documentary) on keeping hens in urban settings and I'm looking to find people in London (or other cities in the UK) who keep chickens who would be willing to be a part of it! In an ideal world, we'd love someone who keeps chickens in an unusual urban setting (e.g...

So I know that quail aren't as regulated compared to chicken or indigenous game birds, but has anyone had any problems with city ordinances or neighbors? I live in a big city where there's concrete everywhere, block walls and most yards are under a 1/4 of an acre. There's been people like...

Hi, A friend of mine has a flock of hens with a leading cockerel. Earlier in the year, one of the hens hatched several chicks, one of which has now been identified as a cockerel. This has happened in the past and, due to rivalries with the resident male, the last chicken was killed. I am...

Can I hear from any members that have gone thru the permitting process to keep chickens? I want to know how long it took starting from the date the application was submitted until approval or rejection. thank you

Thinking of moving to Pittsburgh. Any advice, neighborhoods to never visit or move to, etc.? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience trying to get a solo chick to make friends? * * * I have 3 bantam hens in the city, all of whom have a low-level sniffle/sneeze. I believe it is coryza since it never goes away. Before I "diagnosed" the coryza, we had a really bad hatch in the spring that resulted...

Hello! So I want to start raising quail and I have researched a lot but still have a few questions! Hoping I can get some help here. I know when you get them (I believe they are a week old at the store near me.) they need to be under a red heat lamp for 5-6 weeks until they are fully feathered...

Okay so this has been going on the past few weeks and I've been losing my mind over it. But hopefully my post gives others a glimmer of hope in dark times. Sorry it's a bit lengthy. Maybe one day I'll write a book on my chicken adventures and this will be a chapter lol. We live in a very rural...

Hello everyone, I am curious for feedback from others who raise their chickens in town, in village limits, where there is ample car traffic noise, and curiosity from neighbors and their pets or children. We just got six Buff Orpingtons yesterday from Tractor Supply. We will sell 2 when they...
