Hey, Sarasota CLUCK blog readers, where do you live?

Hey CLUCK blog readers, where do you live?

What's Your Take on Dyed Chicks?

Quiz: If the number of chicken-related code complaints were to increase four-fold after adoption of the new ordinance, what percent of total code enforcement calls would that likely be?

What should CLUCK focus on next?

Looking at the 25 largest U.S. cities by population, how many allow chickens (without setback requirements that make them illegal for most residences)?
