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 absolutely love your blog. Congrats to you and your birds. I can't wait to check out the magazine!
I just found your site and it is absolutely gorgeous and chalk full of information that I'm hungry for. This is our first try with backyard chickens and since we are the only ones in our immediate area who have chickens this is a total learning process for us. Our chicks are about 2 months old and are in the first phase of their coop now. Such an exciting time for our family. It is going to take me a while to read through your site but I will. Have learned so much already. Thanks!
Love your blog. the pictures are awesome and the captions are really funny!!
I would love to win either! Thanks so much!
If I were wealthy, Id fly down there and give my support at the hearing!
