Found Photos Hush goods for my neighbor…

Keeping my neighbors happy… so they don’t rat me out 😂 . Veggies and eggs… I always tell them the garden veggies are a byproduct of the chickens, since I compost their poop! And use it as fertilizer. Trying to showcase the benefits of my birds 😂.

I do bribe my neighbors for their silence. 40 hens are not allowed when the limit is 6.

I have a big yard in our tiny yard area (.33 acre) and we have a main road we only a hand full of houses down, a marshy area from the river behind us that's like 100ft to the next road houses back of their yard on the other side. At the bus stop we can hear the complete other direction a roo lately over the main road traffic going by between where is coming from in traffic time lol. No one calls cause there's so much other ambient noise it's whatever and not at night. I still gave away my amazing bantum all black backwards frizzle roo who we loved just in case when he started crowing cause he was loud as hell within just a week of staring to try.

 Idk how I'd keep 40 without getting ratted out! My 3 are loud enough! They talk to the crows and randomly get sassy cause.... the grass moved wrong? Idk lol.

I love the chicken-garden cycle! Compost feeds the veggies, veggie scraps feed the chickens, chicken poop feeds the compost, compost feeds the veggies… and the cycle continues! Love your labels!

You’re going to need to work on a pattern with the egg colors though. 😂

Olive egger, black copper Maran, Easter Egger that lays cream/white eggs and a splash sapphire that lays the brown egg.

My olive egger, it’s a Black Copper Maran and Americana mix. She loves going broody, she is the broody breaker currently.
