    What breed is my neighbors rooster?

    He comes down to see my girls and while my two old hens don’t lay anymore I just got eight chicks and I want to incubate their eggs in the future so I wanted to know what he is if he ends up fertilizing any future eggs. I’d ask my neighbors what he is but they live down the road from their barn...

    Im in trouble!!!

    I have to go to court in October regarding my chickens. I'm new to this small town, which was sold to us as a homestead. The realtor assured me pets, chickens, and horses were all allowed. My neighbors have goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, but for whatever reason I'm not allowed. The...

    Neighbor's chicken hiding in my yard

    My chickens are in an enclosed run/coop. They do not free range. I noticed a "wild" chicken in my yard outside of the coop and I tracked down her owners. The owner came over to get her chicken back and the chicken had disappeared. I can't seem to catch her myself, so she's been sleeping in the...

    what do I do about the neighbor's rooster?

    I have three seven-week-old feral pullets and a cockerel that I rescued when their feral mom died. For now I am keeping them confined to a run until they are big enough to defend themselves from feral cats and mongooses, the only real predators around here (I live in Hawaii). There's a rooster...

    Neighbor's Bullied Hen

    This is mostly just to vent, but if anyone has any practical advice or has had similar experiences, I'm happy to hear from you! Last spring our neighbors added 12 chicks (9 RIRs and 3 speckleds) and 3 turkeys to their small flock of ducks. They are a lovely flock and i've enjoyed my task of...

    Our Dog Killed the Neighbors' Turkey Poult

    **I'm not sure what I'm looking for when writing this post. Maybe to just be able to get this off my chest or to see if others have had shared experiences. Maybe an attempt at catharsis. Any thoughts our personal insights are much appreciated. We are having a hard time with this.** BACKGROUND...

    Neighbor's dog

    As of now, we have an open yard and last night we kept a mama chicken and her chicks in her cage as we are making more room for them, but this morning some chicks were gone, we think it was the neighbor's dog because it always comes to our yard. What legal actions can be taken? We also don't...

    Sweet, predatorial neighbor dog

    This is my first year with chickens. I just got a very sobering call from my neighbor, who discovered that their dog had gotten a hold of at least 2 of my chickens. They are most definitely dead. I have one other chicken that may be alive, but I am out of the house until this afternoon, so I...

    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    This last Friday a little boy next door went into my yard to retrieve his football (whole other issue there) and let my dogs out. He told me of it right away and I started trying to track them down. Around 20 minuets went by when I heard two shots. My dogs came running home, covered in their own...

    City Bylaws say yes...

    hi there I am new and hoping for support here. I have 3, 10 week old pullets in my backyard. The city I live in allows backyard chicken raising. But my subdivision has different bylaws. We are not allowed "fowl". I plead ignorance because I just assumed I would go by city rules. Now, I have had...

    Coops close together?

    Hi! Possibly a dumb question. I would like to start keeping in our backyard, however, our neighbor two houses down has a large coop with many chickens and a turkey. Can I build a coop in my yard without building a privacy fence? Will it stress them out or make them act weird if they can see...
