This week my town’s Zoning Commission heard my petition to legalize backyard chickens. The live recording of those proceedings can also be seen on my YouTube channel here. The commission members seemed extremely receptive to my proposal and have tabled the matter so that they can read the literature I provided to them and to give me time to meet with the staff of the Zoning Department to tweak the text. 
A shout-out to my friends at Cupola Hollow Farm who dropped off this awesome tee shirt for me this week just prior to the Zoning Commission hearing.
My presentation to the Suffield Zoning Commission lasted approximately 40 minutes and included a slide show of my coops and chickens. The questions they asked were very thoughtful and my argument was very well received by the Commission members. The hearing was recorded live & can be seen below.

We just met the Scratch and Peck folks last week at the Heirloom Exposition in Santa Rosa, CA. What a great product. We got some great samples and would love to win some for "my girls".

I would love either of the prizes. What? I don't have to like them on FB and leave the comment "The wonderful Chicken Chick sent me"
Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens
Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
they were pecking at my pillow,
they were hopping on my head,
they were ruffling up their feathers
as they raced about my bed.
They were on the chairs and tables,
they were on the chandeliers,
they were roosting in the corners,
they were clucking in my ears,
there were chickens, chickens, chickens
for as far as I could see…
when I woke today, I noticed
there were eggs on top of me.

What do you do with all the eggs you collect everyday? My friend is getting so many she dosen't no what to do with them. She is now boiling them and putting them back in the nesting box, She thinks the hen will see the egg and not lay another one. lol
