I ran across this article in the Seattle Times today and all I have to say is WOO HOO!!! And... I love my city!!! I think I should probably order some hatching eggs and get cracking on increasing my flock in anticipation

Hopefully other less chicken luvin' cities will follow our lead!

Thanks for sharing that hopeful sign of change for the BETTER! As much as I don't like living as close as I do to the Seattle metroplex area, I've gotta hand it to them for their environmental vision.

A flock in every back yard!

eMy friend called me to tell me this great news, since I don't get a paper! Here in Sammamish our chicken numbers are based on property size, so I've not had to worry, but I think it is WONDERFUL for Seattle to up the flock numbers and encourage chicken keeping!!!

When I contacted our city regarding chickens, they really didn't know who we should talk to. As long as they don't become a nuisance to the neighbors we can have as many as we want!

This was in the P-I today. They are saying more chickens will be allowed but no roosters.

Someone has a solution for the Roosters. "The explosion in city-slicker farming gave Grant an idea for a "great business opportunity," in which she began offering her humane butchering services on Craigslist for a $20 a bird."
