This past week was highlighted by the meeting at the Zoning Commission on my petition to legalize chickens in town. The Commission has agreed with me unanimously that chickens ought to be permitted as a matter of right in residential neighborhoods! They are setting up a committee, which will include farming, agriculture and poultry experts, to craft language to amend the zoning regulations. BIG win for backyard chickens!! My argument to the Zoning Commission was taped live and can be viewed here.

Don't have a first aide kit together yet, getting it together , could use some supplies, enter me and the treats would be good too, could stock up alittle, thanks.
I'm afraid I could become a chicken collector! But at least I have the room for more chickens! :-)
