Well because I live inside the city. They want the coop 75 feet from all neighbours house. Which is easy for us because we are lucky and have a huge yard but most ppl's yards are not as big around here. The dumbest part is the 75 feet when every other town next to us either has none or its like 25 feet. Then they take on the you must keep coop clean and disinfected and must keep coop in good shape.

 

I think I am just going to make the coop. What I need will cost crazy $$ and I would still have to expand the run because they are never big enough. 

In CT, I think we had that 75 (or it could have been more) feet regulation unless you have the neighbor's permission to do less.  At least you get to have them.  Everyone in the "old" part of town here is forbidden from keeping any farm animals, chickens included.  Our lots are all very small, though.  Once you go even a mile from our house, you can have whatever you want and even burn your trash rather than have it picked up.

Yes we are lucky, if you go to the next street their yards are much smaller. Most ppl can't meet the 75 from what the guy said. We have more the enough room but I wanted them under the oak tree for shade.

Random factoid of the day resulting from my apparent boredom that has reached reading Danish news levels, the Gulf War in Danish is Golfkrig.

 

Sounds like the new Volkswagen model.

It does! My son's Great Grandmother was Danish, and their Grandfather. She taught the boys  quite a lot of the language, but I could never get my head around it. I don't have an ear for language. There were a lot of difficult things to pronounce for me, and she used to laugh like crazy at my attempts. Her name was Sidsel, and we all still miss her.

Man the Costco in Brooklyn is just no place to be.

If you guys saw what I see, you'd be disgusted too, in every aspect imaginable...

The only reason I go there anymore is because the Costco visa sent me a cash back voucher.

Germanic languages....

 

It is one of those examples of a French root word in English that isn't shared by the other Germanic tongues, i.e. war.

Dropped hardware-store stuff to Uncle T-B., appreciative he man.

Helped him figure out his television setup, requires two remotes and fast fingers man.

 

Got strategically timed, much-needed nap, zzz we man.

 

Spent hour-plus proofreading Mrs. T-B.'s translation-skool project for the Many'th time, egad man.

 

Going shopping at Walgreens on Tues., perfect day for it man.

What's the matter with it, huh man?

Nearest one here isn't bad, but they have an aversion to opening checkout registers, why man.

Other complaint is that their gasoline prices aren't that big a savings over outside stations, no man.

Cat's electronic litterbox is officially dead, die man.

Older model lasted about 2x2x2+2+2 years, good life man.

This one lasted barely Many years, or even less, grrr man.

PetSmart managerette said that Nature's Miracle started using cheaper motors than did LitterMaid, grrr man.

She recommended getting the multiple-cat model next time, will consider man.

Uncle T-B. starting to revise his will, old one 2x2x2x2+(2x2x2-1) years old man.

Good for him, si man.

 

We wonder why so many people resist the idea of wills or put off creating them, what's the benefit man.

The typical excuse that we've heard is "It makes me think about dying, don't want to man," egad man.

Just try dying intestate and hear your name cursed forevermore by your survivors,  man.

Not having a will (updated, or at all) is the peculiarly cruelest act that one could commit against one's loved ones, si man.

As soon as Mrs. T-B. put the ring in our nose, the first thing that we did was to create wills et al., top priority man.

We never know when we will be hit by a truck, smashing solution man.

Equally, or even more, important to ensure up-to-date beneficiary designations on bank & investment accounts, si man.

Mrs. T-B. is listed on our Pre-Owned Toilet Seat financial instruments, fixed for life-after-we she man.
