This week/month in chickens:

  • Missoula, Montana just celebrated it's 1 year anniversary of legalized chicken keeping. Has it been a success? Find out here.
  • Chicken keeping up for debate in Cleveland, with new regulations on the table. (I am from the area originally, and I am currently visiting for 2 weeks! Glad to see support for chickens in my old stomping ground.)
  • Jefferson, WI now allows residents to keep up to 4 hens. Read more about their ordiance and how it passed.
  • A great article in the Atlantic this month brings up the issue of illegal/unwanted roosters in cities that only permit hens.
  • Bucky Buckcaw's December radio spot: chicken keeping in NYC.
  • Chicago chickens in the news again.
