Chickens were present at a recent city council meeting in Brentwood, CA. Why were they there? To help themselves and others like them from getting evicted out of the city. Apparently, there is a rule that states that these fowl creatures can’t be on a residential lot smaller than 20,000 square feet. They were there to try to persuade the council members to relax this rule.
The hens’ owner, Kimberly Kennedy, insists that she wants to be more sustainable. She also feels that tending to her feathered friends and collecting their eggs will help to teach her children about responsibility.
Her neighbors think that they just stink and draw flies.
I bet these chickens would love to eat some of our red worms! Hopefully our worms won’t find out that I wrote this! Shhh……don’t tell them. They might stop working for us.
Does anyone out there have any chickens? Do they really stink and draw flies?

Our oldest daughter loves to dance and she’s really good! This is the second year that she has performed in the Nutcracker. In this years show, she played one of the children in the dance scene in Act 1 and later on she was a Bon Bon. Our girl loves to perform and she was very sad to have the shows end.
The other member of the family that played a big roll was Dave. Not only did he make sure that our daughter made it to all of her rehearsals and had her hair and makeup done, but he also made the sleigh that was used in the show. It looked great! Maybe next year in appreciation they’ll add in a special red worm dance.
