Finally, after years of talking about it, it’s done.  I have to commend Ferndale city council for taking time to understand the issue and really listening to the community and facts concerning the keeping of urban hens.  It’s been a long time coming, and I’m really glad that I can finally move forward with building a coop and getting my laying hens.

Also, if I never have to say the word “rats” again, I’ll be a really happy camper.
