This installment of Flock Focus Friday is brought to you on Tuesday because after announcing on my Facebook page that my town is suing me for the removal of my chickens, the media got wind of it and have been bogged down with interviews and inquiries ever since. While I am happy to finally get the word out, it has been a time drain. Here’s the scoop in case you missed it on Facebook last week: My town has sued me for the removal of chickens from my backyard & while I am confident in my legal strategy, this 5 year battle fueled by my neighbor has become extremely costly. If I have helped you keep chickens or given you a reason to smile on occasion, please consider a donation of any size to “Operation Home to Roost.” Without my chickens I would have no blog or Facebook page & could not continue to bring you the experiences, photos, information & chicken-related entertainment you have become accustomed to seeing from me.
Questions about the character of my yard, neighborhood and town are answered with this link to Google Street Maps where You can see my property, (it has the kids’ white playhouse/swingset in the backyard) the complaining neighbor’s house to the right of it and drive around town to check out all the farms, horses and chickens!
The argument I made to my town’s zoning commission can be seen and heard in this YouTube video.
We have been enjoying spectacular weather this week, interrupted only briefly by a few passing rain showers. The eagerly awaited dahlias, gladiolas and zinnias are in full bloom at the farm up the street and I stop whenever possible to purchase a dozen. I hope you enjoy the photos from last week!

Would love this waterer.
Kathy, the links to donate don't seem to be working…not sure if it's my computer or the link.
Would love to have this for my girls! Hoping your city council will acquire some common sense and give a big thumbs up to your chickens! I've fortunately had nothing but positive responses from my neighbors since getting my chickens in January, they love seeing them out roaming the yard. (I'm in a residential neighborhood and we are allowed 6 hens, no roosters. I'm hoping someday they might increase to 10. I never knew it could be so much fun keep chickens!) I always appreciate the info your share, I'm learning as I go, and so far, so good ;).… Read more »
The Ladies would love this!
