It is a sad thing that you have been to Silverton HS production of "Hamlet in Love" and we have not. I must look at their schedule...<br /><br />Of course you would love hens best! When I first saw this photo I wasn't quite sure what it was so I googled photos of both chickens and hens and saw some chickens that looked like this one, although I thought it was a rooster. In reading other magpies from the prompt it seems most people deemed this guy a rooster. He is quite the dude. Makes me anxious for next year's Oregon State Fair!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-24878139782472443592010-11-08T17:29:58.002-08:002010-11-08T17:29:58.002-08:00Raising hand to show my believing you were returni...Raising hand to show my believing you were returning to school which sounded pretty realistic in an unrealistic way considering the class I just dropped at PSU.<br /><br />We were in Silverton Friday to see "Hamlet in Love" which is terrific though you do have to sit on very hard metal chairs (take pillows) at the H.S.<br /><br />Was your post inspired in part by the town's move toward allowing chicken ownership, following the long-awaited move in Salem? Hens are my particular favorites and the one here, if female, is awesome.naomi dagen bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636592739857173279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-89328133104085171302010-11-08T00:40:53.469-08:002010-11-08T00:40:53.469-08:00kathew~ Thanks!

I think the City Council voted down the idea of chickens in the city so I am worried about their fate.
