Chickens: its not a no

The other day we were driving to my wife's aunt's house. They live in a much more rural area and we happened to drive past a house that had a chicken coop in their yard. Inevitably I turned the discussion towards the keeping of chickens, originally believed by my wife to be illegal here in "sunny" syracuse. Actually, thanks to the citychickens site I already knew we could in fact keep them.

We back and forthed for a few minutes about the pros and cons, and I got an I don't know. I'll let it simmer. And I'll back off on the goat idea in the meantime.

In other news The seeds are sprouting, the herbs have adjusted well to the new window space, and hopefully the downpour today will melt the last of the snow in the yard so I can get the beds dug. Only two weeks till they have to be done.

And now I've joined a new urban homesteaders webring. Sponsored by the fine folks at Path to freedom, its full of other great sites and blogs in related matters. And now me too.
