Re: The Weekly Roost

Hi! I am currently working on getting Wake Forest, NC's town ordinance changed. We've set up a blog chronicling this endeavour at www.wfchickens.blogspot.com. I had an interview with the local paper this afternoon, and the article will hopefully be published this Thursday! I'm so glad there are so many other Town and City ordinances being challenged! It's great to know there are so many like-minded people out there!
