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.

In other big news this week: Iris (an Olive Egger pullet) went broody for the first time and accepted 10 chicks as her own, which I hatched in an incubator.
Buff Orpington pullet, inspecting the day’s haul. As everyone eases out of their molt, I’m finally getting blue Ameraucana eggs again. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a blue egg in the nest boxes!

Can you believe that much insightfulness came from a teenager, Jess? She's got to be a really special young lady. I'm so sorry for your loss. ♥
As a mother who lost a newborn I really appreciated finding "The Other Side of the Waiting Room". It touched my heart.
I get so wonderfully "lost" on your website – and happily click and learn for hours. Thanks for all you do!
