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.

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.

Then Thurs. am I woke up to screaming from the maternity ward only to find yet another jet black chick who was doing fine the screaming was coming from the corner of the cage where momma was killing a small white little chick who was not keeping up.
