The legal drama over my chickens continued to heat up this week as irate supporters of mine inundated town hall with email and phone calls. Last week the story broke in the newspaper and television media picked up on it this week. One news station was so anxious to scoop the story that they knocked on my door unannounced!
My inbox and phone have been ringing for interview requests, allowing me little time to focus on much else, but I’m hoping the end is near so I can get back to writing about more glamorous chicken-related topics like poop and bumblefoot!

I'm glad you're fighting for your flock!
I'm just wondering… is leased land allowed for other forms of livestock?
Oh, and I'm subscribed and the eggs skelter looks like just the thing for the ladies' daily gifts!
I'd love one, and hope my grandchildren, didn't try to modify it into a race ramp for their cars.
Sorry to hear your troubles continue. I hope they end very soon, and in your favor. Neighbors can be a pain, and cities decide to flex their muscle over the most stupid things, but maybe the media attention, and the emails, will let them know being a bully, will cost them in more than one way.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Unfortunately, your problem could easily be OUR problem as "urban" chicken keeping continues to gain favor. Your chickens are healthy and happy and their yard is beautiful. Cannot believe some people! Good luck with your situation.
