I'm not exactly Joel Salatin level, but I take what I can from his methodology. Massive garden, orchard, circulate chickens by season and poo is incredibly valuable/essential as I have very sandy soil (which is lovely for the most part, just need alot of compost.)

YEP! We never realized until it happened, that across/the other side of the River from us, development, squatters, people cutting down trees in the night, etc. could happen... And guess what one squatter in a RV brought with him, Jersey giant chickens. Totaly against zoning laws but before the...

Actually no they should not. If people buy homes under HOA rules that prohibit chicken keeping, that's what they should get. That's what HOA is, people choosing to live a particular way such as in a neighborhood with no farm animals. You're saying they should not have that right. It's not how it...

It's a good problem statement, is there a solution brainstorm? Maybe HOA's could charge more money and hire home inspectors who know what issues are caused by not following guidelines, then enforce. I d k, it's like I keep saying, if you don't have a solution then expect everything. Expect...

Completely true! But what can you do about it? Change people? Can you change the way they're going to vote too? I believe in changing myself if I don't like it instead of stressing over stupid people.

Answering the question with a question, is a coop considered a permanent structure, in which case if there is a well, 100ft. setback... ??

I only did a speed read but I'm going to go back. This subject interests me and I'm wondering if you have a criterion for when "backyard keeping," is okay based on parcel size? I used to live in Maple Valley WA. close to Enumclaw (I bet you're familiar.) I had 6 chickens, 2 acres; surrounded by...
