A quick read that will help anyone who is fighting anti-chicken legislation on a local front. If you intend to have backyard chickens, and your municipality is a problem, this is a great place to start to strategize.

A great book by a local author on beginning chicken raising and some controversies on keeping chickens in different states. I'm ready to start up a chicken coop with a small flock -- okay, maybe really I'm just ready to start planning. I will need to build a coop first. Great little book.
