This past week featured typical New England weather: high heat, pouring rain, sunshine, fog and/or autumn temperatures on any given day. I’ve been preparing to bring the backyard chicken-keeping fight to my local Zoning Commission and will have a table at the town’s annual “Suffield on the Green” event. I hope to meet a few of my peeps there this weekend!
The public hearing is slated for September 16th and I encourage anyone in the tri-state area or beyond to join me at the meeting to be seen and/or heard in support of backyard chickens everywhere!
The flower farm up the road from me had some spectacular specimens in full bloom and I was like a kid in the candy store with my camera yesterday! 12 stems of pure beauty for a mere ten bucks.

Lola (Columbian Wyandotte) is experiencing her first molt. She’s dropping her feathers like a box of hot rocks, which is typical of a good layer.
Rachel (Bantam Cochin Frizzle) not looking her best between the rain, humidity and molt, her feathers don’t get much more pathetic looking than this.

I just can't tell you how much good it does me to see your cute chickens and those snazzy comments you give them in the pictures . What a pick me up. We are facing a serious chicken issue here in our town they are talking about not only limiting our little chicken families but making us reduce some of them.
I've been hoping to win a packet of Spruce the Coop…seems like it would be right up my alley! Good luck at the hearing!!!
I live in California, or I would sure show up and support the cause! I subscribe through email ~ and I love, love, love your blog! PS – I ordered your herbal mix through Etsy and received it yesterday. It smells WONDERFUL! Good enough to eat ;)
