Horray! Thanks for all your well wishes....I return with permission from my city to get my hens!
And, actually, it's even better than that...During the zoning board meeting, one of the board members actually put in an official request that the city draft a provision in zoning to allow ALL residents in my town keep chickens. So, not only good news for me, but good news for the backyard chicken movement in my area!
So excited...now so much to learn (and build) before next spring! I look forward to picking all your brains!
