Chickens Come Home to Roost In Nashville

                      
NASHVILLIANS WHO HEART CHICKENS AND ORGANIC EGGS can now legally raise and keep them in backyard coops and cages---but hens only according to an ordinance passed Tuesday by the Metro Council.  But roosters will have to continue strut their stuff and crow in the countryside outside the city limits.

This is a fight that's been waged for the past two years and finally won by local chickens-in-backyards advocates.

Personally I think it's a good sign and should never have been banned in the first place.

Please note, I have been away from the computer more than usual the past several weeks because of the needs of a good friend, still recovering in a rehab center.  This schedule will continue for a while now, though I plan to be here as much as possible.

Best wishes.
