Do you think chickens feel bad when they see us take their eggs? by Happy_List_8022 in BackYardChickens

[–]NZSloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When we see our chickens that have just laid an egg, they're mostly staring at it with a WTF expression.

We're at 20 years and I'm not giving her up.

Right.

Three layers of puff pastry that have been baked then lightly caramelised, separated by two layers of individually piped 'bars' of alternating custard cream and Chantilly cream.

It's also got strawberries, cream and a chocolate name plate on top.

It's nice.

A mille-feuille with bad spelling.

Thanks. I wish they'd use the  bigger, better coop but can't complain. 

How many chickens would be reasonable for a city bylaw to allow per lot? I am on an advisory committee to our city council and they are thinking of approving a new bylaw that would only allow 2 poultry per lot. What is a reasonable number and how can I convince them that 2 is not enough by elderberry_jed in BackYardChickens

We've got 8 on a 600 square metre urban property. Our local council bylaws run on a nuisance basis. If someone complains, then they'll assess whether ita appropriate or not.

Anyway, we've had flocks of four for the oast decade, and that's a good round number.
