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.

Good luck at the hearing, I am very lucky. My little ladies are finally laying so sweet smells would be great and I never pass up a chicken book!
WOW! Beautiful photos Kathy. I would love either the magazine, or the herbal infusion giveaways. Finished 3rd coop and would love to add something different. @Hillside Happy Hens wishing you spiritual support in your 'backyard chicken' town meeting. Truly wish I could be there however, I have the utmost confidence in your ability to sway the board members. Good luck.
