Above is the latest thing in my life.... working with the city and friends to change the ordinance in Grand Rapids, MI to allow Backyard Laying Hens. Before we had fully recovered from the 16 Days of Artprize '09 and the Beerhorst Family Wonder Wagon we received a Notice of Complaint from the City of Grand Rapids about our chickens. So tonight we were interviewed a Grand Rapids Press reporter (Jim Harger). He wanted to know our chicken story and our desire to get the ordinance changed. Generally it seems the city officials are open to this change. We are hoping to get a extension before our inspection (in which to comply our chickens would be gone.) Meanwhile there has been some hooking done.... hopefully some photos soon... for more on this subject... friend me at facebook http://www.facebook.com/brenda.beerhorst?ref=profile
