@joelmw Here it’s $60 a year for up to 4 hens, no roosters allowed. Background check and site visit mandatory. Sixty bucks buys a lot of eggs at the grocery store, and you can have children without a background check. Crazy.
@sammydog01 I could have kept two of them but I had a hard time finding someone to take them where they promised not to eat the chickens. I’m a vegetarian and had them as pets only.
I did eventually find someone but part of the deal was that he would take my chicken coop too. I built that myself and it had double pane windows and a shingled roof. It was like a little house. Anyway, I wouldn’t have had a coop for the chickens after I gave away 4 of them for the remaining 2 so I just gave them all away at the same time to the same person.
I’m still sad about it because I loved those chickens. They make good pets.
@cengland0 this is why I have resolved never to live anywhere with a homeowners association. If I buy a house it’s my castle, end of story. If I want to paint it neon pink with chartreuse trim, that’s my right. :|
@jbartus I sort of agree with you in theory but I wanted a house in a good neighborhood and in a good location. I did not want to live in the boonies. That kind of house came with an HOA and that was what I had to agree to when buying the house where I currently live.
There are benefits of an HOA too. You don’t have neighbors with broken down cars in their front lawns, they have a nice manicured lawn, their property is clean, and they are quiet and peaceful.
@Ignorant I’m not sure I want to ever be that close to a rhino… even a baby one. Well… a child one… the babies are so adorably awkward that I probably couldn’t stay away.
Pretty sure my HOA would disallow them. They already made me get rid of my chickens.
@cengland0 Not the chickens! They just allowed chickens in the city I live next to, but you have to pay a fee. No goats though.
@cengland0 @sammydog01 Fucking HOAs.

@joelmw I know I posted this letter before but here it is again. I actually had 6 chickens but the HOA didn’t know how to count.
@cengland0 Did you get to keep two of them? For your pleasure? Sorry, that really sucks.

@cengland0 I’ve never lived anywhere with an HOA and I’ve never had any of those issues.
Hey, @jbartus, you’re right! He doesn’t need to be goat. But I’m still voting for him.
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 This hurts more than you could ever imagine.
@kevlar51 Are you a Kevin too?

@sammydog01 haha yeah fuck that other @kevin!

Look at those ears!
@Ignorant I’m not usually one to say this sort of thing, but OMG, that’s adorable. It’s like a big goat!
