for i have just wrote my letter to the president, and will post it for all to see. if any one wants to see it. i have invited him to become a member of our BYC so he can become a new egg to the chicken world, and have offered him some day old chicks. WE as the people of the chicken world need to have chickens in the white house. william

This is a link to join a facebook group working to put heritage breed chickens in the White house. There is a link to email President .

Yellow House Farm (NH) is partnering with poultry writer Christine Heinrichs (CA), the SPPA (USA), a chicken coop builder from Wisconsin, and the organic feed company, Countryside Natural Products (VA), to offer the White House all they need to set up their own heritage flock.

Think of the tax-payer money the White House would save on their grocery bill-- free eggs!

Don't you think somewhere on the grounds of the White House, there is room for a small chicken house? I surely do, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Obama's might take this under consideration. . .they only need 4-6 hens, and one roo. How much noise could he make compared to what they deal with on a daily basis. GREAT idea!!!

Does anyone know whether or not chickens are even allowed in Washington D.C. ?

They are not. But that can be changed and would be great for the rest of us trying to get our ordinances chaged .
