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!

Nice waterer!
We had a long fight in the closest city about chicken laws, unsubstantiated and downright false claims about the dangers of backyard poultry, and finally won a temporary ruling. When the dire threats did not happen, the law was renewed. A similar issue arose in the "city" (more like a small village, population 2,771) and eventually a limit to the number of birds a homeowner could keep was established.

Nice
If I won this I would put it in coop
I would love to win a chicken fountain for my hens.
I wish the best of luck with your nasty neighbors and with the zoning commission.
