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 can't tell you how much love your blog. It has helped me so much with my little flock. They are so spoiled! I'd love to win the Chicken magazine or the Spruce the Coop!
I just started keeping chickens this spring and have found so much useful info on your blog.
I love this blog and I've learned so much information! Beautiful flowers by the way!!!
Would love to win either, I do enjoy all your informative posts.
I love the picture's of all the chickens and the up the road flowers, mine didn't bloom that full this year. Good luck on the hearing, wish I could be there.
