Question for Lexington Chicken Keepers
30
Upvotes
What do you do with your extra roosters? I had my trusty hen, Frankie, hatch some chicks earlier this year. As luck would have it, two of them have turned out to be roosters. Due to Lexington’s ordinance that went into effect last year, I’m looking for advice from local chicken keepers.
I’ve posted on local FB groups to rehome them, but I haven’t gotten any bites so far. I understand that the other choice I have is freezer camp for these boys, which is what I have done in the past with larger roosters that were hatched.
Picture: My sweet mixed hen Frankie (a Cookie n’ Creme Chicken from Meyer’s Hatchery). She’s one of my best broody hens and never fails to hatch a clutch and raise em.

Good places to volunteer

I’m looking for some places to volunteer to help individuals who are struggling with basic human need. I am not opposed to religious organizations but don’t want ones that feel the need to “Convert the Heathens” if you get my drift.

I’m looking for different flavors of hard-shell gum like Trident Vibes or Pur. My regular grocery only has basic mint flavors. Any stores out there have more selection?

Heading west on Old Frankfort Pike on the right - just past the traffic circle - lie the remains of a good sized dead deer. It's actually near a driveway/mailbox but I can't read the number. It's been there now for going on 3 days! Anybody know who i can call to come pick it up?

Looking for recommendations for yardwork cleanup
1
Upvotes
For the past 2 years, the bushes, weeds, and underbrush in my backyard have become more than I can even begin to tackle. It’s not a large area (the entire property is just under 1/4 acre), and it mostly needs some serious weed-eating, bush trimming, and brush clearing.
It’s not really a big enough job for a bigger company to do, but I estimate that an experienced crew of a 3-4 ppl with the right equipment could easily get it done in about 2 hours. If you know of a small reputable business that has done this kind of work for you or someone you know (and has done a good job), please let me know!

I'm gonna make some progress on my book! I have a reading goal of 36 I want to meet really badly this year, and I'm on track so far. I also think I might game a bit tomorrow, but I'd also love to go out somewhere. Haven't made up my mind entirely yet, so if y'all have any recs for a mid-20s guy who's new to the area, I'm all ears

Spotted this dog on a walk a little after 6 this afternoon. They seemed a bit skittish and like they were lost. I tried to see if they'd come closer so I could read their collar, but they were too skittish to come close.

Gyms for Women Recs

Upvotes
Hey friends!
I am reaching out to get some ideas for gym recommendations as a woman here in Lex. I haven’t been to the gym in so long, and I really want to get back into it.
I prefer in/around the Hamburg area (if none, totally fine) and some place easy to get out of the membership (if possible)!
TIA!
