If you like the idea of keeping chickens in your backyard, but aren't sure you're ready to fully commit, a farm southeast of Guelph will rent them to you. Oh well, these things happen. Noone will own up to who had the accident. These kinds of eggs are normal and only an issue if you are getting them all the time. My girls have plenty of shell grit, all sorts of food (spoilt!) and have been free ranging a lot lately.

City council will consider making changes this summer to the bylaw to allow people to keep backyard chickens. However, animal control officer Sabrina Bergin says until the changes are actually made, poultry is still prohibited within the city limits.
Coops and runs must be located only in the rear or side yard and shall adhere to the same setbacks as non-commercial kennels. Such structures shall also be set back at least five feet from the principal dwelling on the property and at least 100 feet from an RPA stream (Resource Protected Area under the Chesapeake Bay Act) and 50 feet from all other streams. A zoning permit must be obtained for these structures.

The picture on the top right shows the bottom of the stairs and beside it is the pop door that leads to the chicken run. This door is always kept open throughout the day so the chickens can come and go as they please. They always like hanging outside in the chicken run anyway except when it is raining. Whenever we give them some vegetables, the first one to grab a piece would run like hell with it and goes inside the chicken coop and the rest would follow and chase her until she drops it. It's really fun just watching them doing their own antics.

Anyone who has grown up in Miami, has more than once seen chickens and roosters crossing the roads in the middle of the city. So much so, that Miami had to reinstate the Chicken Busters after they had been "eliminated three years ago in a round of budget cuts".
We waited a few minutes and a few of the men headed inside to grab the large pot of heated water. I untied the bird from the tree branch and then dunked him into the 145-degree tank for one minute, holding him down from floating (I guess he wasn't a witch) with a stick. This is the perfect combination of temperature and time. When the wet chicken was removed by his glowing-yellow feet he was already shedding feathers. With gloved hands I started removing the breast feathers first, and they came off easily. Within a few moments he was nearly naked, starting to look like those rubber chickens from 1960's gag shops. Most onlookers were happily surprised at how fast this whole business was going. From beheading to near-featherless was just about 5 minutes.

The new dog cage is excellent for her and it folds up so we can store it easily. She has a little nest box and room to stand and walk while being completely enclosed and safe while we're at work. Her favourite time is when I open the door to clean and feed her for the day and out she pops to have a walk around the kitchen. I've moved her so that she can't see as much open space during the day to make her feel more secure but she still gets plenty of light.
