Lawn tractors are probably the most powerful tool you might offer to any garden. They are the best solution for advanced landscapers….

I checked it out and have just finished ordering the book -- two actually: one for my grand daugther and the other for me! And, anyone with chickens is 100 in my books!

But four are guineas. (We got the guineas because of their sky-is-falling wails that they do if they see a hawk; we lost two girls last year.) Illegal? Hmm. I know in lots of places chickens were legal (it dates back to WW2) and the laws have just kind of stayed on the books. I found a rooster once at the end of my alley in near-downtown Minnesota; called the pound, and they said yes they were legal IF you get signoff of half your neighbors. It's all fascinating, I think, laws that govern things like chickens and clotheslines. But I meant to mention Kuntsler yesterday. I will have to check out your book. Read the Geography of Nowhere and thought it was so-so... Wow, we have eleven birds too! But four are guineas.

They're too crowded in the tractor, so I'm planning to drive four of the girls up to Debra (author of the comment above yours). We had 25, and gave away the rest when we moved to the "city". There are Buff Orpington, Barred Rocks, Dominique, Golden Buff, and Rhody Red. Because they're over crowded, they've been eating their own eggs, so if we don't get to them around lunchtime (hard to do when you work!) then we only get 3 or 4 at the end of the day. On weekends we can get up to ten each day. Our girls are illegal here, no livestock allowed in the city of Kent. But if it ever comes down to it, I'm going to get out there and fight for it.

Geez, girl, how many birds you have there? I see maybe a couple buff orphingtons, a few barred rocks, a couple Isa Browns...can't quite tell on the others but wow that must be lots of eggs. And yeah I see Lila and I think more Iris Dement than Deliverance, frankly. And soon hopefully everyone will have a few back yard biddies, so you'll be completely mainstream :) I see fireworks and I think “that is SUCH a guy thing,” and move on.
