I've come to BYC several times while planning my flock and trying to get a zoning variance approved to allow me to have my hens, but I have never posted. Good news! My zoning variance was approved on Monday. My husband and I are constructing the coop this weekend and will hopefully move our three beautiful Rhode Island Reds into it next week. I live in a small farming community, but was still surprised at how pro-chicken the zoning board was. I had a unanimous decision to allow my birds despite my grumpy neighbor showing up at the meeting to protest. Unfortunately for her, I had a well organized proposal, thanks in part to BYC, and she just had ridiculous responses that boiled down to "I don't want chickens in my neighborhood." So sad for her that I will not be bringing any of my egg to her house to share.
Thought that I would share my good news with fellow chicken lovers. Will post coop pictures and more pictures of the girls once they are moved in.

from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. 
And hey, the folks that don't go for chickens don't know what they're missing out on 
lol, but unfortunately not everyone sees backyard flocks in the same way.
