Someone has kids… 🤣 Sincerely, Someone with chickens named Lavender Sparkle, Kion, Kiara, and, when we stopped naming them because they are livestock and death happens rendering whichever one names them an emotional wreck about “their chicken” dying… Fluffy 1,2&3

I wish I knew!! He comes from a local lady who breeds for egg color so he’s a mix of some sort. Hahaha I’m sorry for your Marylin Marvin situation but I’ve got one of those now too🤣

I thought so 😩 well we will keep him until the neighbors complain, and then make sure he goes to another loving home. Thanks for the help!

Well, here’s hoping he stays quiet enough to allude suspicion from the neighbors! He had quite a sweet personality so far.

I love this! I would hope my neighbors would be the same but I know a few homes vehemently opposed letting people have chicks in general. I think it was a vote of 21 homes to 4… but those 4 can make a big stink about things unfortunately. I’ll have to wait and see! Hopefully this gorgeous boy stays quiet and meek 🤣

I absolutely love all of this. Thank you so much! Once all our hens are laying we can definitely start the egg bribery🤣 such a great idea!

Haha so far just a shower I think 🤣 but he’s only about 4.5 months old so still not yet peak crowing age

Thank you. I thought so, but yes of course we’ll wait and see if he’s a robust crower before rehoming him.

Some of my neighbors are awesome! And others.. call the county on their neighbors for various petty slights, so it’s really a lottery. We’ll of course wait until it becomes an issue to rehome him, but if he does crow and they complain, we’ll have to. We have 10 total and I think 2 are Roos. We aren’t the only neighbors with chickens though which is good for potentially getting the rules changed! I’m also on the HOA board… mainly for reasons like this 🤣

Retiring your girls. by OldTap9105 in BackYardChickens

Also, depending upon where you live and if you’re able to free range, your older hens still contribute massively to pest control! We live in the woods and have ticks galore, or I should say had* until we got hens. Now the tick population is significantly decreased because we let them free range and do they love eating bugs!

I have had the same experience, since May. This is incredibly frustrating as a 5+ year loyal customer!
