Chicks fightin' the law!!!!

It has been a while since our last post as you have all noticed. This is Bret writing the post for clarification. We are fighting for the rights of our chickens to stay in our yard and lay eggs for our family. Apparently we needed written permission from the HOA to have "livestock" in our yard. We are a little confused because we live on "Mallard Creek Court" and our community area and neighborhood is populated with free range ducks....but I digress. I took Macey and Paige to my "Hearing" before the Home owners association. I wanted them to see how "big time government" works and play on the sympathies of the board. Macey did a good job explaining that we would not be killing the chickens which I believe is helpful. We basically explained that we are not entirely crazy, and we want to have pets that lay eggs for us. As you can see from the picture, the girls have been doing a good job of keeping up the "grass roots effort". We promised to take very good care of no more than six hens and there will be no roosters or free ranging - you know wild chickens roaming the streets and getting tattoos and smoking pot. Anyway, we had our day in court and we will get the results mailed to us in a week. I'm just glad none of this drama has rubbed off on us! We will keep you posted.....
