[Magdalen] prayers for discernment

[Charles Wohlers]

You can find regulations here:

So - you can have chickens in Harrisburg but not Reading. Cheltenham but not 
Allentown. You can have them in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but not 
Pottstown. Etc.

My daughter got chickens last Fall - she lives in Littleton, MA - not a 
rural location. No restrictions, AFAIK. However, one day she was outside 
handling one of the chickens, and felt something brushing her hair. It was a 
hawk. They do need to be protected against hawks, coyotes, foxes, etc.

A largish chicken coop came with this house, but so far we haven't been 
tempted.

My home village (population 1,400) in NW Wisconsin has just
passed such an ordinance.  My partner's response to this news  item
was, "Let's move back there".  Climate Zone 3a?  I don't think  so.
