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!

My husband's building me a new hen pen and this would be best way to finish it perfectly!
I'm so sorry to hear about your zoning troubles. What a headache. I can't believe the size of your property and its manicured appearance could lead anyone to believe that chickens are a nuisance. Personally, I love mine, and I'm happy that for all of the craziness that ensues in my neighborhood, that chickens (not roosters) are widely accepted, despite our urban-infill environment. I will definitely donate to your cause, and wish you the best in your fight/plight. "Uncle Sam expects us to keep hens!" Duh! PS – I also love the Chicken Fountain, and that would keep my from… Read more »
I think its a disgrace that your neighbor is trying to make you get rid of your chickens. Some people just have no heart or compassion for others. I hope they change their ways!!!
my chickens would love this fountain they were in the coop the other day looking at a magazine saying how great it would be to have a nice fountain like this, they didn't know I was listening so they would be sooo surprised…. good luck with your fight I will contribute soon
I could truly use this!
