Our also has a no rooster as they are the pests usually. Also have a limit on how many you can have. I am ok with limits and rules as it helps keep people from getting a chicken on a whim and then abandoning them. Having a structure to properly house them takes an investment -think we spend ~$800-900 all in on our new coop, plus the fence for the side yard, plus the fence around the garden (to keep the monsters out when they freerange). We already had fenced in our 3/4 acre lot.I read something in our paper today about chickens
The town is wanting to allow residents
to have chickens in their yard as pets
Present ordinance is homeowners need to have 3 acres of land before they can
own chickens and have
a housed structure for them
It is proposed, any resident can raise chickens with a small lot as long as they have a shelter
And .... they are not allowed to use them for food since they are pets
So nice outside-all the animals were glad to go out in the sun and warmer air.
stopped and got doughnuts on way back from dropping swim kid off.
House cleaned, outside lights finally down. Cars washed (were grey from salt/slush dirt). New battery in mine and oil change (apparently it was due-DH did all that when he took mine to be washed).
also it is whip solstice here! Means our local pineapple whip place opens for a couple days in dead of winter -usually only open in late spring through summer.
NPR did a story a few years ago. The owner Zach is a really nice guy. Saw him yesterday when I stopped to get my fix. He is always so humble and in awe that people will line up even in January to get the stuff!

Meatloaf, mash potato and peas n carrots for dinner tonite. Picked up a bag of blood oranges too, so good. May squeeze a couple and make Blood orange martini too.
Ready for spring after the taste we have today!!
