Oh, excellent-I thought you were starting from scratch. You should be all good then so long as you have the space!

People are always so interested in our birds when they walk by (our yard faces an alleyway) so be prepared for some gawkers lol 😂

It's no big deal right? Throw a milk crate on it. Whats the worst that could happen: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-sinkhole-wilkinsburg-biddle-avenue-vehicle-hole/

I appreciate it! I've had chickens for several years in a rural area, but never in a city so never really had to consider permits or courtesy toward neighbors before

Findhelp.org

if you're an AAA member, check with them, they should be able to help.

If you renewed online, check to see if you still have the email they sent you with the renewal and you can print another.

I have kept chickens in Stanton Heights for years. I have a 5 foot chain link fence and they rarely get out (when they do it's because the local squirrel terrorizes them). Roosters are illegal in the city and hens are quieter than your average pet dog so the neighbors don't care. Keep your coop tidy and your food locked up to prevent vermin. I recommend getting a "no waste" feeder because chickens are the messiest eaters on earth and the local rats will move in to clean up the excess unless you prevent that.

No permit needed-just make sure you have enough square footage on your property and a proper sized coop!

No roosters allowed.

The only time my hens are really singing their egg song is around 10-10:30am

I’m also happy to help out-I live in the city and have had chickens for a year now :) feel free to DM

Aw I miss crockpot sandwiches from Sarney’s

Gotta be careful though haha. Sloppy joes outside of central pa is sometimes a much more tomatoey sauce. In my high school cafeteria they just called it "BBQ"

Not forwarding mail is asking for identity theft. You kinda deserve it for trying to dodge bills and making it the headache of the next resident to sort out.

Drunk snack 🥨

Family Links!

It can also be hard to sex chicks accurately so some may turn into roosters and people don't know what to do.

My first job out of college was printing FDA labels for dialysis chemicals. This is not an expiration date - it’s lot info for traceability.

It’s required in case there is a problem with the batch, they can trace the ingredients all the way back to the vendor for each batch. Then, if a recall is necessary, the store will know which lots to pull from the shelf.

This is shelf stable food. It’s not going to go bad in 3 months. Hell, eggs last longer than that.

So it’s definitely a personal problem but I forget my login information lol

That’s a myth. It 100% goes to charity.

Edit- For those downvoting me, you don’t have to take my word for it:

You're in fucking Trafford, which is barely considered a city, and certainly not considered Pittsburgh.

I can't believe that more people aren't talking about Islay's BBQ sauce.

If you wait until July, there are some kids that sell it at the neighborhood yard sale.

Yes, sloppy joes. My recipe for that is very similar, white sugar instead of brown and adds relish.

I understand the desire to be in the same physical space with someone.

Deirdre Fay is someone else who works extensively with C-PTSD. In addition to her books, she also has some YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/DeirdreFay

(Edited to clarify: unfortunately, Deirdre Fay is not local. I mentioned her here in the spirit of giving other supplementary resources and because I have found her video presence to be not just knowledgeable but also calm and compassionate.)

It's the equivalent of the classified ads in the newspaper. YMMV.

No onions? Ours always had onions
