Quarantining chickens<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0We’re home from our first showing at the county fair. My children brought 6 chickens to show for 4-H. I see you quarantine your chickens for 3 weeks after fair. What do you look for before putting them back in your flock?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I just make sure that they appear healthy: no snuffly noses, no diarrhea, etc. It’s usually no big deal, but we just like to be extra safe following stress and being around other birds — Jackie<\/p>\n

\u00a0PVC hoop house<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0How do you bend your PVC pipe to make your hoop houses? This is something I really want to do. I’ve looked at Hoop Benders but they seem to be for conduit pipe, not PVC pipe.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0PVC is very flexible and it bends very easily by hand, with no strain or pain. No hoop bender is necessary. — Jackie<\/p>\n

\u00a0Building codes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0We deal with building codes here. Do you have county building codes where you are or do they leave you alone.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Amanda Modin<\/em><\/p>\n

Bend, Oregon<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Fortunately, we don’t have building codes way out in the woods. I’m sure some other areas, not so far from us DO have building codes\/inspections. But so far, for us, we have to have a land use permit for any construction, septic or addition, but no inspections (other than the septic). — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
