Anyone interested? He's been hand trained by the kids and a pretty nice guy so far. He's about 20 weeks and just found his lungs about 2 weeks ago. Can't keep him in our township.
Can anyone direct me to information for this area? I have looked on the townships website and have googled code for this area and can't find anything about backyard chickens. I know it must be there somewhere!
Any one still hatching out chicks or have an overabundance? Looking to restart our flock before it gets too cold outside. :) Located in the West Chester area.
We followed @dheltzel design fairly closely. I'm sure there are some differences, but it made an outstanding coop for our girls. Love using it and think it's one of the best coop ideas ever for so many reasons. We had hawk land on it, foxes case it (and walk around on top of it trying to figure...

ok,
Here is the molting suspect. She even stretched her wing so you can see the bare patch at the top of her shoulder area. Does that look like molting?
And the chewed feathers. I have noticed that these 2 look smaller like they have lost body mass? They are more dominant hens...
I'm not out w/ the hens as much this summer as I had been, but still a good deal. I haven't noticed that at all. Some aggression, but the submissive hen squats low and still and dominant hen/hens go away.
Let me grab some pics for ya!
And this is one of the reasons the girls can no longer free-range. This guy (girl?) has become to brazen. I can walk right up to the coop and she just sits there. She terrorizes the chickens. Chase her away, but she comes right back. A friend suggested getting a crow call b/c if you call the...
