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!

Our city just allowed chickens a few months ago and we're the first to get our permit! 4 babies are currently living in our house until they can move outside. We're soaking up as much info as possible! Looking forward to browsing through your blog.
I love your little Polish Crested babies! They are adorable. :) A while back I had a bantam Polish/Cochin hen named Belle. She was the cutest, fluffiest little girl. Keep the cute chickie pictures coming! :)
I did go ahead and buy the Vetericyn, but would love the whole 9 yards and my girls never say no to happy hen treats! And yes, I agree with everyone else, your win was a win for all of us!
Love reading the blog, always full of helpful info.
Love to receive Vetericyn Wound and Infection duo to add to our first aid kit. Congratulations on the council decision and I love the "ass" cartoons. Let's have a parade thru the city! :)
