    Country George, I think you hit on why the law was created: to be sure dedicated owners were buying chicks with a long term commitment. Given the 3 chick and 6 chick requirements perhaps trying to get towns to change the hen limit is worth the headache. I am fortunate that I have enough...

    Hope you find what you are looking for. I can't imagine not eating fresh eggs. I'm planning on giving my girls alfalfa hay this year over the winter. Sorry I don't live very close to you. If you don't find any, maybe we can work out something in the spring
