Oh man..If you get the opportunity you should for that alone. Every morning I eat eggs that were laid in the previous 12 hours.

Unfortunately this rural area along with most others will disappear in the coming years. Going to have to leave town if we want to continue this hobby farm lifestyle.

Really? Wow. Most cities allow backyard hens. Vancouver does.

Yep. When I used to live on near commercial there was a house that had them but clearly didn't know how to contain them. You'd see them wandering around the street and passersby trying to corral them (a near impossible task)

Question is does it knock on the door for 3 hours like normal.

Also Chris Doyle is pretty bullish, saying strong ascent in the DGZ (dendritic growth zone, the layer of the atmosphere where snowflake development is occurring):
