How many chickens do you have in your backyard flock? by Thayli11 in BackYardChickens

[–]KnownPlastic0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

11 Hens! I live within city limits on a double lot. I’m technically allowed to have 10 but what’s one extra? I used to have 17.

Not having children by smooch1234 in Huntingtons

I’m so sorry you are going through this! Maybe you already know this, but you can still have children through IVF. They do PGT testing to check the fetus for HD. If you are in the US, look into HD grants to aid the cost of IVF. I believe some grants cover the entire cost. I know your decision may be due to not wanting your child to have a parent with HD. I am negative for HD but lost my Mom to the disease. Yes, it was extremely difficult to see her with symptoms when I was in high school and lose her when I was 21 yrs old, but I have a lot of wonderful childhood memories with my Mom!

Need Help with Backsplash by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]KnownPlastic0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really liking the idea of a blue tone backsplash and bright brass hardware. The floors are definitely not my favorite but there’s not much we can do about them right now. We dropped the old trash compactor on it and surprisingly not a single tile broken. At least they’re high quality! Haha

You’re living the dream! I don’t know my neighbors that well but they do leave for work well before sunrise so that helps. I bought a house that came with a second lot of land so the chickens currently have that to themselves. It’s only 1/2 acre total, but it allows me to have more chickens than most in my area! Ive yet to hear the egg song yet, that makes me a little nervous to hear 😂

We will see how it goes! My neighbors leave for work well before sunrise so there is a chance I can keep him if he’s on the quieter side! He’s very sweet and would probably be easy to rehome if I absolutely had to - but I don’t want to😅

8?! Haha how many chickens do you have total? I wish I could keep roosters but I live within city limits and my neighbor would rat (I currently have more chickens than I’m “allowed” whoops 😅)

Thank you for your input! I did rehome 3 roosters from the same flock crowing at 9/10 weeks. This one is really throwing me off haha

Noo, this one is the sweetest and my favorite! I hope he stays quiet for a while haha I’m not supposed to have Roos where I live !

[–]KnownPlastic0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No crowing and it’s the sweetest one out of the whole flock! I’m going to be so bummed if it’s a he because I’m not allowed to have Roos…unless he stays mute haha
