I”ve been working to change the zoning laws in my hometown, Amherst MA so that more of us can raise hens.  Here is an article describing my backyard hens.  Click here. (the source link may be down for a short time – if it is, please try again later – or look at this “backup version” for now).

I just created a short (6 minute) video on raising hens in our backyards.  This is becoming a trend nationally but there are a few barriers, one of them being local zoning laws.  A few of us are trying to get this changed (click here) for the town of Amherst, MA.   To see the video on getting started raising hens and eggs, click on the picture below!
