In early 2010, residents of Hamden, Connecticut successfully worked with their town government and Board of Zoning to legalize the keeping of small flocks of backyard hens. See more about out efforts and successes in the New Haven Register here, here, and even a shout-out from the New York Times in this column by Pete Wells, titled Not in My Backyard. At its inception, this website was the information-sharing and word-spreading apparatus of that effort.
This site is now an archive of those exciting chicken times. For up-to-date New Haven County issues about hens and related issues, try the New Haven Bioregional Group or the Town of Hamden Department of Planning & Zoning.
