Free the Homewood Seven!!!
"On the weekend of Independence Day, Homewood resident Virginia Murdoch is waging her personal fight for freedom -- the freedom to raise chickens in her neighborhood."

This may seem humorous, but this issue of suburban, low-impact poultry husbandry is one that is popping up all over the country. Some folks want to raise and keep their own chickens, fed more or less "naturally," and they like doing it in their own back yards.
The lady in this article is a Homewood resident. She is being forced to move her chickens out and she is going to take them to MOUNTAIN BROOK--the most elite suburb in Birmingham!
The lady's chickens are classy, all-American birds, with pedigrees back to colonial times and a commendable history of persistence against the odds. Noble fowl, deserving of our love and respect!!
"Her breed of bird was brought to America from England by early colonists, Murdoch said.
Threatened with extinction several times through their history, the American Dominiques have come to symbolize durability, productivity and self-reliance, she said."
And you gotta love THIS acronym: "CLUCK, Citizens for the Legalization of Urban Chicken Keeping"
