>>>[The gov may have a difficult time controlling all the urban farmers, with their new laws, as it is spreading and that makes me smile....granny]<<<
Son-in-laws parents recently gave them a really neat home-built trailer/coop with 50 layers. They have now put up a fence and are getting 3 1/2 - 4 dozen eggs a day. Amazing that people are paying $3.50-$4.00 a dozen for good brown range produced eggs.
On the local news tonight, report of state legislators considering legislation to have state building codes to supercede all local codes. Wonderful!! If I purchase a few acres in some northern township and decide to build a camp for hunting, snowmobiling, vacationing or whatever, I will be subject to the same code existing for fancy homes along the coast in Kennebunkport, Bar Harbor, Ogunquit, etc.
The reporter interviewed locals from towns with NO BUILDING CODE whatsoever-they were NOT happy. Imagine some little town in Timbuktu having to hire a code-enforcement officer to meet the state’s requirements!!!

They pay extra even in Arizona.
“Trailer - Coop”, a new one on me, don’t think that I would like it as well as one designed to keep them on the ground where they can scratch for bugs and weeds.
