Well, I wasn't able to put the rooster in the cage, so I took a feed bag and ripped off a section and used this to cover the window of the coop and this morning there has not been any crowing. It's 8am and he's still in there and still no crowing.

Quote: Wow.. I'm gonna try that.. I just got one of those metal dog cages out of a dumpster the other day.. Now I know what I'm gonna use if for. With it being hot out there and humid, will he be ok in there with it being covered? I can never catch this roo.. gonna have to sneak in the coop...

Quote: Sorry, you missed the part where I said I have no issue getting rid of this rooster.. That's not the problem.. What I DO have a problem with is his demeanor and the potential future complaints about my Sebright rooster whom will be introduced to the flock.. right now he's indoors for...

Quote: You raise Sebrights for food? Sounds like a hard sell to me. I don't know you or your neighbor but with your recent addition of Guinea Fowl it sounds to me like you're going out of your way to annoy your neighbor. Guineas, btw, will not stay inside a fenced area. If you are planning to...

Due to neighbor complaint about our crowing Rooster yesterday, I need to find a home for these 2 Guinea keets I just bought yesterday. Pick up only, in Epping, NH. My price is what I paid for them just yesterday, not knowing I was going to return home and get a rooster complaint.

Healthy, beautiful 4mo old Buff Oprington Rooster. He's a good rooster, but I got a complaint from neighbor, so need to find him a home. I am in Epping, NH. Pick up only. He's bigger now, this photo was taken 2mos ago when I first brought him home

Quote: Can you PM me the links? I still haven't found the codes/ordinances online. Quote: I just googled it, and yes, NH does have a Right to Farm law. http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2000/HB0097.html As for the Buff Orp. roo, I don't mind getting rid of him.. as for the...

Oh my god that is so funny. I googled up Epping, NH Noise Ordinance and this thread is the first result, lol http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=Epping%2C+NH+noise+ordinance&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Epping%2C+NH+noise+ordinance&gs_rfai=&fp=8631cdd35a4d476d

I just bought 2 Guinea keets today. I know they're known to be noisy, but talking to seller she said they'd be quiet if locked in coop without nothing to alarm them and that they're usually only loud when alarmed, etc.. Is that right? So, after buying the keets, I get a rooster complaint from...

Quote: That's just it, he's complaining about him crowing in the middle of the day too... He even commented about goat bleating saying he's "tolerating" it and they only bleat during day time.. So, if I keep him in til 7am and in at night, he shouldn't be crowing if he don't see the sun...

My lot is zoned business/agriculture, and I refer to him as snob or snooty not because he complained, but for other reasons.. Just his uppity uptight demeanor

Epping NH has no ordinances regulating chickens or other poultry. 2 months ago I got a Buff Orpington Rooster. After the first week of him crowing at 4:30am, I went door to door and checked with ALL my neighbors to make sure this was not a problem. ALL of them said it was not a problem and...

My wife really wants some Guinea Fowl.. maybe 5 or 6.. Sorry, but I think they look like evil clown faced birds and think they're scary looking.. BUT, she said yes when I wanted chickens, then a dog, then goats, then ducks and so, she wants the Guinea. I told her that if we get some, that it...

Yes, it is more than one. The large bloody mess on the ramp, the poop mentioned above and now one splat of blood with no poop we just discovered, just all liquid and dried up blood.

Yesterday one of my chickens left a large bloody splash on the ramp. I assumed it to be intestinal shedding.. Today we discovered a liquidy runny green and white poop with blood in it. There's no nasal or eye discharge and everything else looks normal externally. They get DE mixed with their...
